Our Honeymoon -- Five Years in the Making

You read that right ... we are finally going on a "honeymoon".

Just before our 5th wedding anniversary.

If you remember correctly, awhile back I did a little "intro" post of sorts, talking about how we met, how short of a time we were together before getting married, etc.

If you don't remember ... or weren't around then, you can check it out here.

Although we were relaxing and staying at a beautiful [family-owned] beach house on Ocean Isle Beach, and were just minutes away from Myrtle Beach ... it didn't really feel like much of a honeymoon.

Within 9 months, I was pregnant, and since then I've spent the rest of our married life either pregnant or nursing one of our two children.

Now that L is weaned and we have hit the 5 year mark, it's time for us to set sail.

So we are taking an 8 day cruise, without the kids, and getting away for some "us" time. Which we so desperately need. We are both absolutely looking forward to it -- and cannot wait for the sand and sun... and silence!!

I have a few posts scheduled for the days we will be gone. As always, comments are great -- and I'll reply to ALL of them, as always, as soon as we return!

And I'm sure I'll be back with tons of pictures and stories to share!!
