Panama, Costa Rica, Cozumel 2010

Cruise: Panama, Costa Rica, Cozumel
When: October 2010
Length: 8 Days, Balcony Room
Port: Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Jeff and I enjoyed our Honeymoon so much that 6 months into our marriage we booked another cruise. This time our port was on the other side of the U.S. Neither of us had been to Florida before and decided to enjoy the small amount of time we had there before our Cruise. We saw the Everglades (and lots of crocodiles), Miami and Ft. Lauderdale.

Honeymoon

Mexican Riviera Cruise
(Ports: Puerta Vierta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas)

Jeff and I couldn't agree more that going on a cruise for a honeymoon
is the perfect way vacation after such a huge event.
We had so much fun eating, sleeping, eating, swimming, eating and eating.

Puerta Vierta: Snorkeling
Mazatlan: Parasailing
Cabo San Lucas: Beach day and Cabo Wabo

We enjoyed the silly towel animals, crisp cold bed, window in our room,
24 hour food, room service, napping, the sun,
all the exciting things on the boat,
but most of all... we enjoyed dinner!!!!
We loved dressing up nice and eating lobster, crab, Filet Mignon

Our Engagement

Paris, France

Our Engagement

May.14.2009

I went to Paris with a friend for two weeks and wasn't expecting any visitors, especially on that particular Thursday morning.....On May 14th we were walking out the door to go sight seeing, when I hear a whistle over my shoulder. Naturally I look over and I see this handsome man standing wet in the rain, wearing his bomber jacket and draping a night bag over his shoulder. It took me a few moments to realize it was Jeff, standing there in the rain. He flew through the night and waited 45 minutes in the rain before we walked out that door. I rushed over to him and threw my arms around his neck. It felt like ages since I had seen him. Before I knew it he said he had something he wanted to give me.... he put his bag down, reached in the pocket, knelt to one knee and asked me to Marry him!!!! Right there, in the rain, on the streets of Paris!!
Moments after I saw Jeff. I couldn't believe he was there.

Jeff on one knee proposing to me....(aaahhh)

I said YES without any hesitation.

Look at the smile on my face while he places the ring on my finger.

I love how proud my Man is.

He pulled off the most amazing proposal I could have ever imagined.

Paris by Night...

Paris by Day...

(Drinking a 1664 in my Fav. Cafe)

Standing in the place DE Concorde
(Where Marie Antoinette was murdered)

Ooooohh that 1664. It was a gooood Biere.

Moments after I saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time.

(This trip was my first time out of the Country, My excitement was indescribable)

My first day in Versailles, some Locals guided me to this beautiful park that had a small lake. It was very relaxing near the water, laying in the grass.

The courtyard in the Louvre is fascinating!

The statues are gigantic, there are dozens and it's extremely quiet and peaceful.
(I enjoyed the Louvre courtyard very much)

THERE IT IS!!

My Favorite monument in Paris was the Notre Dame!

It was astonishing with the architecture and the Seine near by.

Paris was the most incredible experience of my life.
