Hi there! I figured I should write a blog, seeing as it’s September now.
Atkins and I were just in Colorado for my brother’s wedding, which was awesome! It was so pretty and so sweet. I about lost it when Julie walked down the aisle, but that’s to be expected. :)
So, Chris and Julie are on their honeymoon right now, enjoying our nation’s capitol. It got me thinking about my honeymoon with Atkins. We had a little relaxing mini honeymoon, but haven’t actually gone anywhere exciting yet. We’ve decided that it’s time to really get planning on it, so we picked a time and a place. Now we just need to iron out the details. We wanted to go when the weather in Chicago is not the best, and definitely want to get somewhere warm. We also needed to space it out from the wedding far enough that we could get a good amount of time off without making our employers mad. ;)
And the winner is?
Belize in February!
I am so excited! I have started researching scuba classes to make sure we can go diving while we are down there. Atkins and I are so looking forward to it, in fact, that we are thinking about making scuba diving “our thing.” You know, every couple has their thing. Their activity that they enjoy together, that gives them an opportunity and a reason for travel. So, we’re thinking that if we like this, we might go all the way in certification and take diving trips! How cool would that be? I know, I’m getting ahead of myself. It’s just that scuba diving has been a dream of mine for so long. I can’t even remember a time that I didn’t want to go. And now I have an opportunity! Yay!
Anyway, that’s the plan. I have some e-mails out to local scuba instructors and we’ll see what kind of cost we’re looking at.
We would also accept any Belize tips or suggestions from people who have been there. I am not really sure where we should go or things we should see (or avoid) ;)
I can’t wait!
