Hi all! I'm back! Officially!
So life has been a little hectic lately, but here's a quick recap...
I got married! YAY! It was by far the best day of my life, surrounded by friends and family right in the midst of the holidays. Everything went perfect. There was not one mishap or issue. We had the best time and danced, drank and were merry (or married teeeeeehehehehe). I attribute all going smoothly to my amazing wedding planner Francesca (and Blake and Amanda) with Pure Luxe Bride in Charleston, SC. Could not stop thanking these girls enough for all their hard work and it definitely came together beautifully last Sunday.
Here are some photos of an amazing weekend.
We did it!
A friend of mine MADE these bouquets, aren't they gorg? I made the chalkboards, those were fun!
Jarrett's grandparents.
We got J's college mascot to come, our nephew was totally not scared. Hope he felt the same way about Santa Claus...
My new sisters!
Ok so it was awesome, best day ever, I could keep talking about it some more, but I'll move on.
They honeymoon started out with a bit of a debacle. We got to the airport with what I thought was plenty of time. Charleston has a really small airport with 2 terminals, and security is never bad, so we were there at 6:20 for a 7:20 flight. The desk lady like basically ignored all of us in line (like 4 of us) and then when we got up to the desk, she was like "oh you are going to have to RUN through security..."
EXCUSE ME? Security is like one of those places where people are inspecting the moles on your neck and standing on your heels. Needless to say, we were pretty stressed and running through the smallest airport in the world. Only to get on the plane and sit for 30 more minutes. The flight manifest didn't match who was on the plane. The same desk lady was then on the plane ASKING WHAT SEATS WE HAD. I was a pissed bride. I snarkily replied with "look lady, I booked this flight in July, and you want to know what seats I booked?" Then the lady asked my name about 2 more times. I almost used my new last name just to mess her up, but I refrained. Jarrett had to calm me down. We did fortunately make it to Miami to sit and wait for our flight to Eleuthera.
Now here's where things get fun.
This man arrived in our terminal looking crazy and was SHOUTING at the airline staff. Same airline we took (I won't name call but the airline didn't start with a D or a U....you figure it out).
Apparently, he showed up what he thought was early to the flight and the plane doors were shut, they sold his seat, and he was left stranded (which almost happened to us). He......flipped......OUT. It was epic. I'm seriuosly kicking myself for not videoing it, but imagine an older gentleman beating on the airport windows and doing the gigantic wave at the pilots, while spewing profanity. And then flipping open his flip cell phone (note, flip), and yelling at the person on the other end that he couldn't get on the plane. Sometimes, he would close the phone mid-conversation. Pretty sure there was nobody there on the other end of that phone. And THEN when the plane started to back away from the gate, he yelled "Congratulations you Mother ..... @#$(*&#$(*'s!"
EPIC. The End.
OK onto the most wonderful honeymoon in the world. If you're going to go to the Bahamas and get away from the touristy stuff, you have to go to Eleuthera. The place where we stayed overlooked an amazing cove and I loved the view every day. J and I sat on a dock and drank rum, talked about the wedding, and just fell in love even more each day that passed (I know, barf, but it's true, love this man). We explored some beautiful beaches and ate some amazing food, but mostly, we just chilled and relaxed. It's truly the most at peace I've felt in a really long time.
Here are some photos to make you extremely jealous. Book your trip now, you will not regret it.
Jarrett is awful at selfies...

The inside of our island getaway, please excuse J sprawled across the bed.

View of the yard from the bottom of the hill of the property. So pretty!
These are only a few, I could photo dump entirely on Eleuthera, so stay tuned for more photos. These are also from my iPhone, so this doesn't do the color of the water justice at all. If you follow my Facebook page, you'll most likely see more photos there.
That's all for now! I've decided to do wifely things tonight like cook a pot roast and clean up after our trip. Stay tuned for more frequent blog posts. I will most definitely be posting about fitness things in the next few days since I ate enough food for 10 people over the past week.
Glad to be back you guys! Until next time, hope you all have a wonderful holiday and I'll catch up with you after Christmas. Cheers!
