A year ago today...

A year ago I married my best friend. On a B E A- UTIFUL spring Austin Day, we had the most beautiful wedding. It really was the best. day. ever. To my husband of a year; Colby I love you more and more every day. I cannot even begin to tell you how proud I am to be your wife. This year has brought us closer together and I know that life threw us some curve balls that have only made us stronger as a couple. From new jobs, to new states, this year has been one fun adventure. We have gotten to experience a lot of new things together and a lot of fun things. I can only imagine what kind of fun we will get into this next year and the tons that follow.

You have supported us through thick and thin, and for that I am grateful. You are holding true to all the vows and promises that were said in front of our family and friends on May 12, 2012. I cannot wait to (someday) start a family with you, if you are half the dad that you are husband, your going to be the best dad. I am truely blessed and proud to be your wife and I love you with all my heart. Here's to many more happy years and the next BEST YEAR EVER!   Happy 1st Anniversary Colby! All my love, your wife Mrs. C. A. Louis

Wedding Catch Up: The Honeymoon!

I know that everyone says they had the best honeymoon, but when I say, "We had the best time!", I really mean it!

We left Monday morning-- bright and early, to catch a flight from  Austin to Atlana, GA to San Juan, PR, to Vieques. Yes. 3 Flights to get to paradise.

When you arrive to the W Vieques Resort and Spa you have a private check in at the airport with free drinks. Yes, free drinks! Your then whisked away to the resort!

How beautiful is this place?! The hotel and hotel grounds were just stunning.

 

 

 

 

The first night we just enjoyed being married and on vacation! Lots of Champagne, and room service (hello, we were exhausted!) 

 

 

 

 

 

The second day we just lounged around the resort.. beach for a while, pool for a while.. then back to the beach. We had dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant, and it was SO good!

 

 

 

 

 

 The next day we had rented a jeep to explore the island. Vieques is a SMALL island- really just 2 townships and there are more horses than people.It ended up raining, but we still had a great time!

This is a 300 year old Ceiba Tree!

 

 

 

 

We even found the hidden black sand beach!

 

 

 

Since we had the jeep, we had dinner in one of the towns. It was fun getting out! It was also super humid that day.

 

 

 

The fourth day we went scuba diving! Colby had never gone and I have only gone once, and we decided it would be silly not to go! It was a beautiful day and the water was perfect! We had such a great time! Colby is hooked!

 

 

 

We inadvertently got a little too much sun that day, so went back to the hotel, cooled off in the pool and ordered room service. 

 

 

The last day we just enjoyed the beach. Colby was still a little sun sick, so I enjoyed the sun, and he enjoyed the large umbrellas on the beach.

That night we did the Bio Bay Tours. IT WAS CRAZY COOL. If you're ever in Puerto Rico, you have to do this. There is no way to explain it, it is just the coolest thing, ever.

We finished our last evening at dinner at the hotel again. It was so sad knowing that we were leaving the next day!

The next morning we got up, finished packing, and headed to the airport. It was a long day, but we made it home, safely with a lifetime worth of memories!

I did NOT want to leave! ;)

 

Where did you go on your honeymoon? Or latest trip? We are always looking for new, exciting places to visit!
