St. Maarten - Airport by the Beach

So before the honeymoon... we heard that there was this beach right by the airport in St. Maarten that "we just HAD to check out". We aren't "airplane watchers" or enthusiasts by any means, but this was plane watcher paradise. The planes land RIGHT over the beach... it seems like 20-30 feet above people's heads. Some of the planes also take off right there, and the jets are so strong they blow people on the beach into the water!

We took a short video of a plane coming in so you can really see how crazy it was!

Wedding pic's

We just got our first sneak peek of wedding pic's from our photographer. Gabe & Boone (of Gabriel Boone Photography) did our wedding and they were just fantastic! I was friends with Boone from high school up in Marysville, and it was great to have him and his brother do the wedding. They were so fun to work with and kept everyone relaxed and having fun throughout the photos. We can't wait to see the rest of them and to order our album!

Here is a link to more of the photos on their website:

The Honeymoon

We just got back from the Honeymoon and I thought I'd share a few photos. We had a fantastic time in St. Maarten! It is such a small island and since July is the low season there, it really wasn't crowded anywhere at all. It was scorching hot some days, but the ocean was cool and so were the drinks... so we were quite content. =)

Matt was pretty stoked about our tiny rental car. It was pretty fun driving it around the island though checking out the various small town... and it was super easy to park!

I loved this sun-dress I got for the honeymoon, so I made Matt take a picture of me in it once I finally got to wear it. =)

We went on a sailboat one day to a few different islands, and at one island there were mineral mudbaths... so this is us covered in mud.

Way too long...

It's been way too long since we've last updated our blog... and a lot has happened! So to start, here are a few of the latest updates to our house (these were all projects we completed before the wedding which was July 18th).

We managed to almost completely finish the fence, we just need to put in a couple gates still, but it is looking great and we are feeling really good that we were able to do it all on our own (with some help from friends and family of course).

I also decided before the wedding I really wanted to re-paint the green trim on the outside of our house of course =). This may seem really odd but the paint was peeling pretty bad in some places and I wanted everything to look great before friends and family from out of town came and saw our house for the first time. So Matt patiently set up the ladder for me and helped me with the electric sander.... we got all the wood trim on the front of the house sanded and then I re-painted it the same matching green color. I also touched up the back of the house (since I was already up on the roof!). If really does look 20x better though!

That's me on the roof painting some trim on the back of the house. =)
