    Our Honeymoon – Day 3 – Flying Over Kauai

    This is post #3 in my series all about our honeymoon! If you haven’t already, make sure you read the other posts first – they’re listed chronologically here 🙂 Day 3 – Monday, February 5 After a long day of travel the day before, we were ready and excited to get up and explore Hawaii! And when we woke up, we were shocked to find THIS outside our hotel window: The place completely TRANSFORMED in the day time! It was so dark the night before that we didn’t even know our little lanai had this stunning view of the mountains…

    Where We Got EVERYTHING For Our Wedding

    Today’s 4 months since our big day and I’m actually nearing the end of my wedding content here on the blog! Welcome back to yet another wedding post – and this will be a big one. To go along with all my planning pages, I figured I would put together a list of absolutely EVERYTHING from our wedding – all our resources, where we bought stuff, and everything in between. It’s something I would have found helpful in planning our wedding and I also just want to share and show appreciation for everything and everyone involved. So…here’s the scoop! Here’s…

    Our Honeymoon – Day 2 – From CA to HI

    This is post #2 in my series all about our honeymoon! If you haven’t already, make sure you read day 1 first 🙂 All posts will be listed here! Day 2 – Sunday, February 4 After such a fun-filled (but tiring!) first day at Disneyland, we were ready for more excitement on our second day. We woke up bright and early and left our beautiful villa to drop our luggage off at the front desk. Then it was back over to Disneyland! And we had something super fun to do today – we were taking the Walk in Walt’s Footsteps…

    Our Honeymoon – Day 1 – Off to Disneyland!

    Today I am SO thrilled to finally start writing about our fantastic honeymoon to Disneyland and Hawaii! I guess I technically already started writing about it with my Club 33 Review, but I was so excited to write that one that I just couldn’t help myself. But the time has come to write about all of the OTHER fun things we did…and there are a lot! This doesn’t really need any more of an introduction so let’s just dive right in 🙂 Day 0 – Friday, February 2 To begin I’ll actually rewind a bit to start off right where…

    We’re Going on an Alaskan Cruise!!

    Feels like I just wrote a post like this one but I am SO excited to share that we have booked our next Disney Cruise…to ALASKA! That’s right – we loved our Bahamian cruise so much that we decided to book another one right away!! …okay, that’s not EXACTLY how it happened but we did book this one while on board our last cruise 🙂 Here’s the story: my parents have been talking about how they want to go on the Disney Alaskan cruise for…years? Since we went on our first cruise in 2013 probably! We thought it could never…

    Our Wedding Day – Part 2

    Welcome back to the second post of everything that happened on our wedding day!! I decided to split it into two to keep the posts a decent length.

And again – this post is going to be a long one, so settle in! Friday, February 2, 2018 – Part 2 When we left off, it was just about time to start lining up for the ceremony. I was told that all the guests…

    Our Wedding Day – Part 1

    As of yesterday Chris and I have officially been married for three months!! Up to this point I’ve been writing all about all the planning we did for our wedding and everything leading up to it…and I’m still not done with those posts but I figured it was about time I wrote about the actual day itself!! I will warn you this is going to be a long one with a LOT of photos. So long, in fact, that I had to cut this into two posts! The first will be all the getting ready and details leading up, and…

    We’re Back From Our Disney Cruise!

    We sailed away last week and yesterday we sailed back! We are (sadly) back home from our Disney Cruise and it was such an amazing time! I wrote about this when we booked it but as a refresher – I went with Chris, my best friend Sarah and her boyfriend Grant. We sailed on the Disney Dream from April 23-27 and had THE most wonderful time. It was all of their first time cruising and my second and all of us loved every minute! Some of the amazing food we had on the cruise including that beautiful cheesy potato soup…

    Reflecting on a Year in Guest Relations

    As you may have seen by my recent instagram post, I recently celebrated my one year anniversary of working at Guest Relations! On March 26 of 2017 I began my journey with Guest Relations and it’s been filled with so many great memories already!! I’ve written about my path in GR here on my blog as it has unfolded and it’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year already. I feel extremely lucky to have a job in which I feel challenged to my fullest potential nearly every day. A lot of people see Guest Relations as “the…

    Beach Club & Chill – Day 7

    This is part of a series about our BFF vacation in May 2017. All the posts about our trip will be listed here! Make sure you read the other posts first 🙂 This one is our last day so it will be pretty photo-heavy! FRIDAY, MAY 26, 2017 We’ve finally reached the last full day of our trip 💔 But we had a lot of fun things to do still so we didn’t let ourselves get sad! We woke up super tired from the day before…this pic of Teddy accurately represents how we felt: Ana literally jumped out of bed at the mention of a Nutella waffle for…
