a true milestone...

all of my life

i have dreamed

that somehow love would find me

now i can't believe you're standing here

if beauty is all

in the eye

of the beholder then i

wish you could see

the love for you that lives in me

and you would know you have my heart

if you could see, what i see

that a treasure's what you are

if you could see, what i see

created to be

the only one for me

if you could see, what i see

you're created to be

the perfect one for me

if you could see

what i see

if beauty is all

in the eye

of the beholder then i

am beholding...

true beauty

--sung at our wedding 10 years ago, June 1998

Happy anniversary, babe! These last 10 years have been the absolute best -- I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so proud to call you my husband, my lover, my best friend. And I love you with all that my heart can hold...

enjoy our cruise with us!

Make sure your sound is turned up before you start it...you need it to get the whole "experience"! It IS just over 8 min long, too, so make sure you have enough time to see it all. Enjoy!

we're back! [but we don't wanna be...]

Okay, okay, okay. I know you all have been waiting (some patiently, some maybe not so patiently) to see photos from our fabulous cruise. I have chosen just a scant few from our trip, out of the myriads & gazillions of photos we took, to share here. I do want to say that I'm putting together a slideshow of sorts to "showcase" our trip and you three or four that check this blog will definitely get a link to that when I get it put together. :)

To whet your appetite in the meantime...

Our first port, Cozumel, Mexico:

Our second port, Grand Cayman:

Our third & final port, Ocho Rios, Jamaica:

We really enjoyed each place that we visited and had great weather the entire trip. We had a great time on all the excursions we chose. Of the three ports, surprisingly, Jamaica was the most beautiful to me. The water was such a beautiful aquamarine and the vegetation was absolutely lush. We got to experience both as you can see from my photos. Grand Cayman was also very beautiful; very clean with beautiful waters and scenery. The people there were very nice & friendly, too. Cozumel was probably my least favorite stop, although we still had a good time there. I had my first snorkeling experience there and it was a lot of fun.

The cruise ship was incredible and there will be lots of photos of that in my "showcase" when I finish with it. Jeff and I had a really great time hanging out and making lots of memories, going to places we've never been, experiencing things we've never done before. It was a wonderful trip, one I won't ever forget, and the perfect way to celebrate a decade of marriage with the one my heart will love forever...
