77 Days 'Til...

Curt and I love to celebrate our anniversary. When our first anniversary was approaching I didn't know how we would celebrate. I had always wanted to go to Hawaii but didn't think I would go until I was older. I started to look at prices just for fun and found a great deal. So...our first year we went to Hawaii and it was incredible! We swam with dolphins, kind of swam with a shark on accident (that is a story for another time), went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, went Parasailing, went on a Sunset Dinner Cruise, went Snorkeling, and hung out at the beach. It was one of the best vacations I have ever been on.

Then faster than we thought, our second anniversary was coming along. I think Curt thought that since we did Hawaii last year that we would take it easy the next coming year, like go out to dinner or something cheap. I had mentioned like 6 months before how I would love to go to Cancun, and he thought it would be too expensive, so I let it drop. But what he didn't know was I was researching and researching and trying to find a good deal. Yep, you guessed it I found another good deal and presented the trip to him. Of course he couldn't say no to me and my good deal, and so off to Cancun we went for our second year anniversary. We were total beach bums and I couldn't get enought of it. We also went to a place called Xel-Ha and it was amazing! We went snorkeling, floated down a river in the jungle (literally had to duck and stuff to not get hit by branches), drank a lot of Pina Coladas (virgin of course!), and went on another Sunset Cruise. This sunset cruise was the best night of my entire life. We went sailing first and then came back to the shore and had a romantic dinner. The sand was like powder sugar, no joke, I had never seen anythign like it. Our dinner was under this big white tent that was open to the ocean and it was lit by torches, and a saxophone player in the backgroung, AND it was a full moon that night which happened to be the exact day of our anniversary. Plus the meal was great. We danced on the beach while gazing up a the stars. There was also like a forest of palm trees a few feet from the beachy area and they were all lit up with white lights. It was something right out of a movie, better actually. Anyway, sorry I was getting carried away.

By this time Curt knew that when our third year came around I was going to want to go on another trip. At first we thought we would do something smaller like go to San Diego and have fun there. But you know me, the little thought of, "maybe you should go somewhere more tropical and somewhere you have never been before", kept creeping up in my mind. So I did what I always did, I researched and researched until I found a good deal. I was a little nervous to present the plan this time to Curt since he thought we were already set on San Diego. I told him my thoughts and presented the trip for our third anniversary to go to the (drum role please)...BAHAMAS!...and he said let's do it! I was so excited I couldn't stop talking about it or thinking about it. We are going on May 16th and I am counting down the days. We are staying at a place called Atlantis and if you get a chance go to atlantis.com.

I am so glad we have been able to go on these amazing trips and am looking forward to what this next one will bring. I think it might be our best one yet!

Bahamas here we come!
