Looking Ahead

Ask me where Jeff and I went on our honeymoon. Go ahead, ask. It's a very simple and easy answer. We didn't go on one.

Why? We had several reasons and we knew before we set our wedding date that a honeymoon would not be an option. Neither of us are high maintenance so it was not really a big deal. We looked to the future and knew that sometime we would go on a nice vacation. The time is coming, nearly three years after our wedding. Our trip to Brazil in August.

I have been thinking about it a lot. I have a lot to look forward to. Not only am I heading out to Cleveland for good in two weeks, restarting my life with my husband, but, we are going to Brazil. I think the timing couldn't be better. I'm glad we waiting to have our honeymoon three years after our marriage. I mean, before we were married we saw each other all the time. Now, we never see each other. We will have a lot of catching up to do.

With the anticipation of having Jeff full-time and Brazil, I have a few things I need to accomplish before then. I do not need to lose weight. However, I do not need to gain weight. So, when I win a basket full of cookies, bread, and chocolate from a running race, I need to be sensible. I need to look good in a bathing suit fairly soon. I need to be able to compete with the hot Brazilians!

Ok, I don't think I can compete with that. But I don't need extra cookies hanging around my backside. In fact, I am hoping to get a tattoo similar to this one before we head to Brazil.

Anyways, I think it is needless to say, I am very exciting for the upcoming summer months and what they promise to bring. And while being with Jeff is the most important, I am greatly looking forward to Brazil. I think Jeff is too. He seems to be a fan of the Brazilian culture.
