Our Garden

Both Tony and I love to garden. We have a tiny little side yard that runs along our house, so we decided to put vegetables on one side, and flowers on the other.

  Mom came and helped me dig up the veggie side.

We made yummy bruschetta from our Basil plant the other night :-)

Our Honeymoon

Cruise to Mexico...

We took a 7 day Carnival Cruise to Mexico for our honeymoon and had the BEST time. Tony is really into ships and knew so much about the vessel we were traveling on. He was always sharing some interesting tidbit or fact about sailing and boats and how they function. I got to pass on a bit of knowledge to him as well. Growing up in New Zealand doesn't lead to many encounters with people who know Spanish so our excursions became a time of laughing at his cute Kiwi-Spanish accent.

In Cabo we visited a Cactus Nursery- there were some amazing plants. Cactus blooms are some of the most ornate blossoms you will ever see.

The first thing you saw when you walked in, however, was...

We had a wonderful time, and were thankful that the Lord provided us such a refreshing and relaxing time amidst all the chaos of our lives this summer.
