I’m Back!

Hi everyone!

My apologies for my absence, but I’ve spent my absence getting married, enjoying my honeymoon, and planning for new content for my beloved blog.

First up – a honeymoon recap!  (Wedding post(s) to follow once I get my professional pictures back).

The husband and I jetted off to the Maldives on January 1st.  After an exhausting 11 hours of travel (including 3 flights and 1 boat ride), we arrived to the Alila Hadahaa and our gorgeous aqua villa.  We fell into a relaxing routine of sleeping, eating, lounging, and reading (both of us tore through Stieg Larsson‘s trilogy, and I now understand its popularity) and left the Maldives relaxed and more deeply in love than ever.

For once in my life, I uploaded my pictures promptly to my computer, Facebook, and Shutterfly – and took advantage of Shutterfly’s free 8′ x 8″ photo book offer!  Simply enter the promo code “9BFC-BRAC-2F93-HG3SG1” at checkout for a free photo hardback book.  I’ve made numerous photo books to document trips and to give as gifts (I made one for my father’s 60th birthday).  The coupon expires tomorrow, so do good by your “no more procrastination” New Year’s resolution and make one of these while you can!
