Our Delayed Honeymoon

The Author of this post is Cheryl Martinez

After several years of trying to decide where we should go on our next vacation, we’ve finally narrowed it down to two places: the Eiffel Tower or France to rent out a private villa. You see, my husband and I never took an ‘official’ honeymoon. We were moving for my husband’s job when we first got married, and needed all the extra dollars and pennies we could find! So, we decided to start saving for our dream honeymoon that we could take later instead of putting ourselves in debt. I realize this is not how most of America lives, but we are so glad that we made that decision! Now we have finally saved enough money and feel good about going! Our house is safe and secure (I checked out adt security systems), and our bags are packed! Now the only thing we have to decide is where to go! Maybe both- it IS our honeymoon!

Honeymooners

I see the honeymooners next door have arrived home. I think they went to Minnesota and stayed up by the Mall of America. They have 4 kids so they don't get away by themselves and it had to be nice to be on their own for several days. They will have to wash the car and get all the decorations off of it. And I see them carrying in several bags, so they were able to do some shopping. They had a very beautiful wedding and a lovely reception. There were many gifts there and it took several in the family with vans to haul them all to their house. They will have a great time opening them. It seems families like to get together and watch the bride and groom open their gifts. I think that is fun. The kids will have a fun time too and the little 2 year old will probably "help" unwrap some of the gifts, don't you think?
