We had to drop off my car at the condo. It looked like I was the Runaway Bride.
I also wanted to get the literally 100 pins in my hair.
Next stop: The Phoenician. Now, Doug did not get the reservation till a bit late, and PLUS it was Valentine’s weekend. The suite we got was triple diple the price, but oh my. We were in for a treat.
I can’t explain it, but I felt completely different today; It was as if I was with a brand new man, but I have this incredible friendship with him already. I’m with the LOVE of my life. We couldn’t wait to start our journey. I’m just beaming……
No, we are ….
When we were in the lobby, God had a present for us; we ran into an acquaintance of ours from church. She and her husband sit behind us at church. Well, we told her we were planning on going to Napa for our official honeymoon, and she mentioned they own a B an B in Napa. She will take care of us! Now, how is that not a gift from God? A little message saying, “You two, I have you in the palm of My hands.”
Enter heaven….
The suite was SO SWEET! Like 1300 square feet of spectacular views.
As the evening progressed, we got comfy!
I put on a few little goodies for my honey.
We then had a toast!
Would it be a party without an injury? I tried to move the stool and it went over my toe.
So my rocket man took over.
My toe might have been throbbing, but my heart was pounding with excitement.
The evening progressed perfectly, and I’ll leave it at that.
Relaxed and peaceful, we walked around the hotel in the morning. We needed to find a pair of flippies I could put on since I couldn’t wear my shoes. I figured we should go to the spa and get some of their free flippies for when you get a pedi. This way we wouldn’t be spending $50 on rubber shoes.
Now that is a happy foot….
and a very happy couple.
We wish we could stay longer, but a staycation in a few months will be just perfect.
My dear sweet man, I love you more than I could ever have imagined. I see why you save the good stuff for marriage. Our relationship is on a whole new level and we are connected on a completely deeper tier. Without that four years of foundational friendship, I don’t think this day would have been so special and sweet.
Tatum and Mom, we have some presents for you. See you soon!
