Honeymoon!

After checking my account on the knot this afternoon, I realized that our wedding is exactly 100 days away! Wow, I can't believe we're going to be in the double digits in a mere 7 hours, and we still haven't figured out food or alcohol! Yikes! I know we will figure it all out, but it is a little stressful thinking about all the things that still need to be done.

One of the most important parts of the whole process HAS been figured out, though, and that is the honeymoon! We are going to Costa Rica and CAN-NOT-WAIT! :) We are goint to stay at the Arenal Volcano for our first two nights and then at the beach at the Xandari for the next four nights. We plan to go up to the Volcano, go zip-lining, go horseback riding, snorkel, possibly surf, get massages, and also soak up the sun and relax! Sounds awesome, huh?! I'm not 100% positive about the surfing lessons yet because I was pretty terrible when Lea and I took a lesson in Australia, and it was soooo hard and exhausting! However, that was six years ago, and I am definitely in better shape than I was back then. So, hopefully I'd be better this time around! Ha ha! We shall see.

Here are a few pics of the places we'll be staying:

I can't wait for the big day to be here and then for us to be on the most amazing tropical vacation!

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving was great this year. Koy and I got to spend time with both sides of our families, which meant a lot of driving and eating, but it was worth it. We had lunch at my aunt and uncle's in South Lake where I got to see my mom, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, aunt, uncle, cousins John and Wendy and John's girlfriend Jessica, and my grandma Mee Mee. My dad couldn't make it because he was sick. Poor thing. We definitely missed him. Phoenix had been sick too but he seemed to have a good time running around trying to open every cabinet and drawer in the house. : )

After lunch, we headed to Ennis to have dinner at Koy's mom's house with her and his step dad, his sister, brother-in-law, and nephew and niece. His mom and step-dad have recently started the Paleo diet, so everything she made was paleo-approved. I wondered how the dressing would be without the bread, but it was actually really good. She made it with coconut flour, I believe. We went by his Dad's place afterwards where I played Just Dance on the Wii with Koy's niece Sydney. That game is so much fun! I'm pretty sure we danced to Blondie, MC Hammer, and New Kids on the Block! Awesome!

I can't wait for next Thanksgiving for more turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie, and pecan pie. Those are some of my very favorite foods!
