2012, you have been an amazing year. I got to marry the guy of my dreams, my career continued to challenge me in more ways than one, my friendships remained constant and my husband and I became first time home owners. All of this only because of His grace. Thank you God that Your plans will always be greater than our own!

So truly and very blessed!

As we are counting down the last few hours of the year, I can not help but feel a sense of calm knowing that I am exactly where I am meant to be, with the person who I’m meant to share these days with. 2013, I am so eager to meet you. I have many more goals to accomplish, places to see and friendships to tend to. I can not wait to see what is in store for our marriage as we dive head first into our first year. I know that He will work in many mysterious ways in our relationship. Please keep us head strong, patient and kind to one another. Rough times will be had, but prayer will keep us glued together. And that is a fact. Come what may, we are ready!

xoxo

Just a few photos from our little honeymoon to Nassau, Bahamas. Good times were had all around! What did we do? A lot of marinating in the Caribbean sun, a lot of stuffing our faces with food & beverages and a whole lot of relaxing! We give the Sandals brand two thumbs up. They got a good thing going on. Planning our next Sandals getaway as we speak (in our heads of course). Turks & Caicos perhaps? Yes, please.

Love,

Hello blogosphere, I’ve missed you so!

Since my last post (years of archived memories now set in private mode), I have done many things that took me into a new stage of my life. This includes moving out of my first downtown apartment that I shared with B and shacking up in a new (yet old) home, located about 45 minutes north from where our story first started. That was a truly exciting time in our lives. But, it didn’t end there. Two and a half months after we became committed (via a signed home loan), we found ourselves reciting promises to one another in front of our friends and family. Yes, we finally got married!

Simply put, we experienced the wedding of our dreams and it was pure magic!

In honor of these changes & more, it was time to revamp the blog and reignite my passion of writing & sharing. I hope that this is the catalyst to spark just that. I am no longer in limbo, but ready and willing to embrace this new stage in my life. Thank you to those (old & new) who have stuck by this blog during its growing pains. I am so excited to be back.

Now that I’ve reintroduced myself into the blog world, I guess I should say goodbye (for now) as B & I make a little journey to an island paradise to enjoy our honeymoon. Stories & photos to come!

Love,
Justine
