Happy Anniversary to Us

Here is a glimpse into our anniversary adventures. We left North Myrtle Beach and first headed to Southport, NC. A super cute and quaint little beach town. Population 2500.

While in Port City Java, I began talking to a local and was informed of a tv show being filmed down the block. Being curious, we headed to the site to see what was up. Ends up they were filming a new pilot for ABC called Revenge.

It was pretty neat to watch for a bit. Felt like we found a hidden treasure today. :-)

After Southport, we headed up the Cape Fear coast to Wilmington, one of my favorite places. I will also admit that I have fun going there because one of my favorite tv shows, One Tree Hill ( seasons 1-6 only) is filmed there.

An awesome key fence along the street.

Dining at the Front Street Brewery. Mmmm.

Me in front of 'Clothes Over Bros'. A location from One Tree Hill.

A great scenic restaurant along the River.

Downtown Wilmington behind us.

I have more photos and even a video I am going to put together of our day. It was a fun and relaxing day with my hubby.

Cheers!

TJ & Rebekah Growing Up

For our wedding, my cousin Jared made a really great photo slideshow of Tj & I both growing up, becoming friends, and then dating.  I love it!  After several hours of frustration on how to actually convert the dvd to a file that would be viewable online, I finally got it to work. (Thanks to Paul Olson & Samuel Gatlyn...gotta love the video tech guys)

So here it is!  Enjoy...and leave me some comments, I'd love to hear from you. :-)

Maui = Honeymoon Pt. 2

Today is a kiss from heaven with this fabulous weather we have!  It is Friday afternoon, I'm wearing shorts, Zoe's got her summer cut, I had lunch with my momma, the windows are open, Tj is enjoying an afternoon with one of his friends, and I am blogging.  Happy Friday!

Yesterday i posted about our honeymoon in Maui along with photos.  There were so many photos I loved and wanted to share, so I decided to post the second half of photos today.  Enjoy!

 We had the most amazing homemade Chinese food on the side of the road on our way through the road to Hana.  It was SOOO good!

 The Bamboo Forest!

The view from our room!

Maui = Honeymoon Pt. 1

We got married on a Saturday afternoon and did not leave for our honeymoon destination until Monday.  I really enjoyed not having to rush off Sunday morning to catch a plane flight.  We were actually able to get all dressed up and go out for a really nice dinner Sunday night(call me crazy, but I cannot remember where. ha).  When Monday morning rolled around, we gathered our suitcases, packed the car, headed to the airport and flew off to....ummm, I had no idea!!  Yes, you are thinking correctly, I did not know where we were flying to.  We had a layover in Tx and NOWHERE was it mentioned from Charlotte to TX where the connecting flights were going to.  Once we pulled into the gate at TX the pilot started naming off the gates where people needed to go to get to their final destination.  That is when I heard "Maui".  I turned to TJ with a huge smile on my face.....we were going to Hawaii!  He was so surprised that we were able to get to TX without me knowing.

Hawaii was a place that neither one of us had been to.  Actually, let me rephrase that...Hawaii was actually a place TJ has never been to. ha!  It was a new adventure for us both.  We stayed at a hotel called The Maui Prince.  It was gorgeous and our room had the most amazing view.  We were truly on vacation.  No cell phones, busy schedules, people to see.  It was just us and the beautiful Hawaiian culture.  

We did quite a few road trips around the island.  There was so much to see, and I know we didn't even scratch the surface of what we could have seen.  The road to Hana was probably one of our favorite days.  It is this road that leads you to many water falls, bamboo forests, and picturesque views galore!  Between each road trip day, we would have a beach/pool day.  

One night we went to the Luau that was held at our hotel.  That was so much fun.  It was right before sunset, so we were able to get great photos.  

Now that we are approaching our 2 year mark as husband and wife, I am longing to go to Maui again.  Someday we will go back.  But, for now, I will just remember the good times we had and look at our fun photos!

More photos coming tomorrow. :-)
