How has it already been two years.  It still feels like yesterday that we were in the chaos of planning our wedding.  It was a great day that started a wonderful marriage.  We have had our ups and downs but I wouldn't change anything.  But back to the title of the post.  We just got back from celebrating being married for two years on the Carnival Sunshine.  It was a great trip and we saw some new parts of the Caribbean and one old favorite.  Our itinerary included stops in Aruba, Curacao and Grand Turk along with four days at sea. 

 

We started out our journey by driving from our home state of North Carolina to Port Canaveral, Florida.  We stayed at the Radisson Resort at the Port and can't say enough good things about this hotel.  It is a great location from the port and offers cruise parking as part of your room rate.  It is a great deal for hotel and parking.  They shuttle you over to your ship and then pick you back up and bring you to your car upon returning back to port. 

 

We arrived at the cruise terminal at 11:30 and were on the boat by 12:30.  We had to wait a bit for our room to be ready to stow away our carryon and then get on to exploring our home for the next 8 days! 



We only had to wait about forever thirty minutes for our room to be ready.  We just camped in the hallway and waited for the all clear to drop our luggage off.  I did not want to carry our stuff around anymore.  When we arrived in our room to drop off our luggage this is what we saw:

 

We then proceeded to drop off our carryon bags and got to exploring the ship!  I will be back tomorrow with our exploration. 

 

 





 

2.  We are planning to celebrate the brother-in-law's birthday this weekend and that means hanging out with two of our nieces!  Can't wait for some baby snuggles with Maddie Moe and play time with Tuuli Rose :) 

 

 

3.  Looking forward to decorating the house for fall this weekend because we are hosting a Halloween party next weekend.  I am hoping to take a trip to the pumpkin patch to acquire more pumpkins to decorate with.  In my opinion you can't have too many pumpkins!

 

 

4.  On Sunday me and Beth are attending a yoga class that benefits Family Addition Dog Rescue of Charlotte.  They help foster animals until they can forever homes.  I am looking forward to a great class and donating to a great cause!

 

5.  Last but not least I am looking forward to some down time with my husband and cats :)  I am sure we will spend a few hours just hanging on the couch and catching up on missed TV shows. 

 

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend and see you back here Monday.



 

It is a great home in a well established neighborhood.  It is the same neighborhood that my husband grew up in.  We sure hope that one day in the future our own kids will grow up in this house.   We have a list of projects and have already completed a couple.  I will update with the changes we made in a future blog post.
