Game Play

We all like to play games!  In celebration of James' birthday we had some friends over and it turned into an impromptu game night, wahoo!


Also, we recently got a new camera (thanks Mom and Dad!) for our wedding so these are my practice shots!  I needed to get practice in before our honeymoon.



My favorite cocktail glass!





We heart rum.



James #27

Happy Birthday to [my husband] James!  It was October 20th but here are some fun shots from the night!  We had Chinese for dinner, opened gifts, enjoyed pumpkin cupcakes and watched the Giants win!

Boon

Every couple deserves (and needs) some down time together after their wedding.  Our "real" honeymoon was scheduled for a couple weeks after the wedding so we decided to go away for a quick honeymoon.  We stayed at a downtown Sacramento hotel with a view of the capitol - very awesome!  For the second leg we found an amazing hotel, Boon, in Guerneville, CA (about 20 miles east of the Bodega Bay area).


James and I enjoyed strolling around the town, lounging by the pool, watching movies and playing board games, taking a bike ride to the Russian River, and relaxing in each others' company.  Paris, the hotel's resident doggie, was so cute welcoming us back to the hotel every time we returned after an outing!  (She's in one of the pictures hanging out on the chaise lounge).

It's so great to be married!

Going to the Chapel...

...and we got MARRIED!  Easily one of the most fabulous, magical days of my whole life.  I was floating and enjoying every second.  James and I had the time of our lives - dancing, laughing, loving, and celebrating!  Here are some highlights from our amazing day!  (Again, all images with the 'Film Foto Fusion' logo are courtesy of Max & Jerry at Film Foto Fusion).



One of my favorites!



Another of my favorites!  I love the way they play with light.





Me and my daddy!





My second pair of wedding shoes - flats!





During the reading by our Best Man & Maid of Honor - I loved it all!




We're MARRIED!





The crazy shot with Max and Jerry and their assistant!



One Month of Marriage

Our first month of marriage has flown by!  I've enjoyed every second of this new stage in our lives and while nothing has changed on the outside (except he's donning a new ring!) - I do feel a shift on the inside and at the risk of sounding super corny... it feels like I'm finally home.

We're on our honeymoon now (today we're sailing towards Israel) and we are totally enjoying each others' company and reminiscing of our special day!  I love knowing I'll have these memories for as long as I can remember them!

Tuesday Tune

Today we are sailing between Turkey and Israel (and celebrating our one month anniversary - see next post)! I thought this next song ties in to the 'water' theme - although, we're safely aboard the ship and not underwater!



I discovered this song (Totally Underwater by Shelly Poole) on a compilation CD from Starbucks titled "Sundown - Music For Unwinding". One of my go-to picks for relaxing!

Visions

Visions:  those dreams that reside in my mind that I bring to life.  My wedding was stored in my head for seven months and on October 2nd I saw it come to life!  It was 100% perfect.  Exactly how I'd imagined everything and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!  My dream world was realized.
