We booked our honeymoon today, this takes a HUGE stress of my shoulders. I was afraid we were taking too long and nothing would be available. Our original plan was to go to Italy for two weeks and explore. However, we had that house fire in August and in it, it's depleting our funds big time. Insurance is fantastic and we have no issues with them covering replacements for everything. BUT, we had planned on doing some home upgrades after the wedding - painting, carpeting, hardwood floors. So, since they are replacing everything now, we might as well do the upgrades, and that we have to pay out of pocket for. We are ending up spending about $10,000 in this whole mess. That's $10,000 less to spend on the honeymoon. I am very bummed about the Italy cancellation. However, in the same thought, I know we will be very stressed after the wedding and Italy would be a busy trip, not a relaxing trip. It may be for the better, but I'm nervous we'll never make it to Italy now.
Back to the fact we did book today. We went through a travel agent at Central Travel and they have booked Antigua for us. I am pretty excited for this place. It's an all inclusive small, private beach, resort - Hermitage Bay. We will be in a hillside cottage that has a veranda, outdoor shower and private pool. This place will be so relaxing and perfect for us to begin our lives and hubby and wifey. I cannot wait.
I had last Monday off for Columbus Day and I got to spend it shopping. It was one of those perfect shopping trips. I don't have a lot of extra money to spend, but I did need to find some things. I ended up finding just the right amount of clothing during the trip, for what I had to spend. Come on, that never happens!
I also had another appointment with my plastic surgeon. I did get a breast enhancement back in February of this year (one of the top 5 best choices I've ever made). He is redoing his website and wants to use me as a before and after picture. That felt really good, since some days I'm really scared that I didn't go big enough.
I'm on the Toledo Komen Race for the Cure steering committee and we had our wrap party this week. I found out that we had more participants that the Cleveland Race and the Chicago Race. How awesome is that? Our city is small and it's so heart warming to have that many involved. We came very close to raising a million this year. What a huge deal!
Our puppy turns one today. He is currently living with my mom, since the fire. Neither one of us can get home for lunch to let him out, so she has kept him for us. I miss being able to spend this big day with him. He is such a cutie!
We don't have a lot planned for this weekend. I'm gonna do dinner with my love and catch up on some things hopefully. Tomorrow is the opening of the Toledo hockey league, the Walley and we are heading to that with our favorite couple. I LOVE hockey. And we'll spend Sunday at my moms, with our baby. He'll get special mommy and daddy time on Sunday for his birthday. I'm thinking of ordering a cake from a local baker that makes doggie cakes. OH and we are doing our first wedding cake tasting with her! Ok, so maybe we do have a lot planned.
