Beach Bound

Whew!  Things have been CRA-ZY around here lately, but all that doesn't matter now because we are heading to the beach! Woo-who!!

It has been a couple of years since we have taken a relaxing beach vacation (my only idea of what a REAL vacation should be) and we are beyond thrilled to eat, drink, layout and do absolutely nothing for a solid week.  For me, that's the only real way I can re-charge.  I need that down time (maybe it's because I'm chill anyway) but vacations that are all go, go, go just seem to wear me out.  Don't get me wrong, they are still fun and all, but sometimes a girl just needs to do nothing.  Right?

I've packed my suits, my hat, a few dresses and plenty of reading material, and I'm good to go!  You can expect a refreshed, energetic, tan (hopefully) chica when I get back to the states.

What about you?  How do you re-charge and relax?  Are you a beach gal, mountain gal or city gal?

To The Mountains We Go

We are off again, but this time we're headed to the mountains for a week.  (Finally some cool weather, I am needing a break from all this 100+ degree heat here in Texas!)  I packed the flannel and sweaters, so I'm pretty much ready to hit the road.  What else do you need in Colorado?!

Chicago Bound

We are off to Chicago tomorrow for our 3 year anniversary - yippee!

I can't believe our trip is already here.  It just seems like yesterday when we were booking everything.  But what's even more unbelievable is that our 3rd Anniversary is already here!  Seriously - we've been married for 3 years?!  Time flies when you are in love!
