Last year at this time I was on my honeymoon. And today I’m sad, as I want to be back in England, Scotland, and France. But, my husband and I are not rich, and so we just laid low this Memorial Day weekend. But let’s get back to the honeymoon …
Actually, I had gotten married the summer before after being engaged for one day. It was a great story, I was attempting to do laundry when I heard a knock-knock at my door early on a Saturday morning. My then boyfriend pulled out a ring, got down on one knee and told me let’s get married today. I love a challenge, and worked like a crazy person for the next two hours on the internet … and we were on a plane within a few hours … and married at sunset in the Valley of Fire (Sahara Desert) the next night. I wish I could post the pictures … but he is evil cautious and refuses to let me put his picture up here … so I’m going to blur him out. 
So, we ran away to get married, and I had to come home, go straight to work, and take my accounting midterm the next day. By the way, I got a 4.0 in all three of my classes that semester … even though my evil boss would not let me take one day off that month to study or move. So, needless to say … we had to delay our honeymoon by ten months or so … And here are a few great pictures from that trip …
















































Hi! You don’t know me, but you seem like a very interesting person! Lovely pictures!
And I know what you mean about your Plus-sized kitty! I call my Gizmo Fatty McChunky, though he is losing weight. I feed him Iams indoor kibble (it’s in the aquamarine package…it seems to work!)

Beautiful pics.
I went to Scotland and England a couple of years ago. My niece got married in a beautiful Scottish castle. Traditional Scottish wedding with the kilts and all. I loved Scotland and would love to go back.
BTW Happy Late Anniversary!

Happy anniversary! Sounds like a great marriage and honeymoon. England is beautiful, I can totally see why you’d go there. Never been to Scotland though, which I hope to do soon!

The wedding photo is absolutely perfect. My niece went to England and Iceland for her honeymoon. She loved London. I have always wanted to see Stonehenge. I have my mini Stonehenge set up in my room. The photos of England make me want to go there even more. Happy Anniversary!!!

TPB – Wow, I can’t believe you went to a wedding in a Scottish castle. I am so jealous …
Everyone else, thanks again for the anniversary wishes – although my actual anniversary isn’t until July.

Who can blame you!
Who doesn’t get sad that vaca’s don’t last forever or that we aren’t wealthy enough to say F-Work and F-Credit and off to a Holiday we go!
Lovely wedding pic btw! Absolutely fabulous and exciting story!
