Adam was “summoned” for his usual on the road duties down south this summer. But this time since we’re married, I didn’t have to stay back and I got to go with him! Thank goodness. It would suck staying home by myself for two months! It’s awesome flying around with him, landing at all different […]

Kentucky, Virignia, Tennessee – Working on the Road

St. Maarten is truly beautiful. The waters are the prettiest and most aqua blue I have seen anywhere besides Maui. The people are all friendly and welcoming.

My parents decided to take a spontaneous weekend trip to the Adirondacks. Kind of like “a last family camping trip.” But knowing that I’d desperately want Adam there, they invited him to join us. 🙂 My aunt and uncle joined us as well. The weekend was filled with kayaking, cliff jumping, rope swings, swimming, bonfires, […]

Two days later we flew home. Had a surprise when I landed at JFK…Adam called me. He was waiting for us outside the gate and it was like 4:30am. I couldn’t believe it! Mom and dad were going to pick me up last I’d heard! I was thrilled and so confused. Ended up he picked […]

My welcome home surprise!

Today was our last full day in Hawaii and it couldn’t have been better. I got high. Over 14,000 feet high! It was THE MOST AMAZING THING I’VE EVER DONE YET! I can’t even describe it.   The first reservation I’d made got cancelled because of the Tsunami, so I rescheduled with a different company. […]
