Home Renovations

As I type this, the bathroom in our house is being demolished! David and I have been talking about remodeling various parts of the house since last summer, and this weekend we started! The first project is turning our very large bathroom into 2 smaller bathrooms (one which will be attached to the master bedroom, and one which will be a guest bathroom) and a walk-in closet. Thankfully David knows how to do electrical work and plumbing. And thankfully David's father and friend, Bryan, are here to help today. So hopefully this project will be taken care of in a few weeks!

One half of the bathroom. This part won't be taken out until we finish making the new guest bathroom.
The shower will stay until after the new guest bathroom is made, too. At that time It will be replaced with a tub/shower in the master bathroom.
It's a warm day for mid-April, and it's hard work ripping out a jacuzzi tub!

No insulation in the walls! No wonder it costs so much to heat the house in the winter and keep it cool in the summer! Thankfully insulation and new siding are some of the other projects that we're planning for this spring/summer.

A Few Honeymoon Pictures

Walking along the beach on our first morning in St Lucia. The beach was barely there (due to erosion and the large waves that they were experiencing) but it was still a nice walk!
We went scuba diving on Wednesday and had a great time! Hopefully we'll get to do this again in the future!


Relaxing in a hammock with my honey...
From the resort where we stayed we were able to see cruise ships heading in and out of Castries harbor on a daily basis.
This was our favorite restaurant! The Mahi Mahi that they served here was delicious!

Upcoming Honeymoon

David and I have been married for almost 8 months, yet we're just now packing to go on our honeymoon! We took a long weekend to the Pocono's (what we affectionately called our "honey weekend") right after the wedding, but we decided to save our money for a tropical vacation when the weather was cold in NJ. So in less than 3 days we'll be flying to St Lucia for a 7 days / 8 nights stay at one of the Sandals Resorts. I am so excited that I'm counting down the hours! Better go start packing instead of blogging...
