Fort Lauderdale


What a great vacation…

Here we are on the plane on the way down to Fort Lauderdale


After checking in at the hotel, our first stop was lunch. Fort Lauderdale has so many great little restaurants right there across the street from the beach.  We ended up at the most relaxing looking place that we saw, Sangrias, and what a great choice it was! How can you go wrong sitting at a table like this...


And eating food that looks like this...
Fish Tacos and a Corona... It couldn't get better...

But it did....

Here we are celebrating getting engaged at the Ritz...


The next day, Colleen's friend Jill came to hang out with us and we spent the day watching football and bar hopping...


Later in the week, we took a great Carrie B Harbor Tour of Fort Lauderdale to check out all of the famous houses and yachts...



The White House of Fort Lauderdale..


Here we are having fun at the beach....

Super windy, can you tell??



Everywhere had these hugeeee drinks, so we had to give them a shot... Joel with his Mango Mojito and me with my Mango Daiquiri.

Playing cards at the Chili's at the airport, waiting to go home after an awesome week!


Now back to reality...

I'm Engaged!!

I’m Engaged!!!
On Saturday, October 1st, Colleen, Joel, and I flew to Fort Lauderdale for a week long vacation. After arriving and grabbing some lunch, I decided to take a much needed nap. After a little while, Joel woke me up and was on his knee next to the bed.  He then proposed and showed me the ring! Of course, I said YES!!!

Here we are at the Ritz Carlton celebrating...
Showing off the ring to whoever would look our way...
So impressed with how good he did, picking out something so perfect and beautiful...
Thanks to my sister Colleen, our photographer for the night! Love you!

Guess I am going to have alot more to blog about now...

Vacation: Dominican Republic

After a very hectic holiday season at work, Joel and I took a very much needed vacation to Dominican Republic.  We had a great time, it was a very relaxing trip.  We also got to visit Joel's hometown and his grandmother and other family members.  It was a beautiful country and I look forward to visiting again (after I work on improving my spanish skills!).

Our first night at the Riu Mambo, with our Mango Daiquiris...

Joel finally got his Presidente...

At Joel's Grandmother's house...



Beach Party(Potty)...

How Relaxing...
