Beach Days


Don't grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.

Wednesday Mind Musings

* I can't believe I haven't blogged since January! Terrible of me. Lack of accessible internet has been an issue, but that will change very soon!

* I've been on a great reading streak lately! The last few books that I've found have been wonderful! I just finished Pray For Silence by Linda Castillo which is about a murder in Amish country. I happened upon it randomly, but it was such a good book! I recommend it if anyone is looking for an interesting thriller. I also just started reading Before I Go to Sleep by SJ Watson. It's about a woman who loses her memory every night when she goes to sleep. I'm only a few chapters in but I love it! It's another book I would recommend!

* Sky and I are moving to a new apartment this weekend! 1 bed/1 bath, WIFI, cable, great cell signal (it's a big deal on this island to find an apartment where your cell works) and it has all its walls and doors lol. It's a short term rental until we leave, but I'm excited to move into a nicer place! I do hate the packing and moving part though...

* My current favorite iPhone games are Draw Something and Words with Friends. I think I'm behind on finding them, but whatever! They're fun and addictive, like everything else on my iPhone.

* So far married life is lovely! Sadly neither of our jobs would let us have more than a few days off, so we stuck around St John after we got married. I am very much looking forward to taking a mini vacation with my husband soon! We won't be taking our official honeymoon until later this year, but we're planning a couple of long weekends between now and then to tide us over. I'm looking forward to it!

* Our move to Colorado has been pushed back a couple of months. We decided to stick around St John for the summer. We're taking the extra time to enjoy the island (something we haven't been able to do much of lately) and spend time with friends before we pack up and go. And we'll be here for Carnival, one of my absolute favorite times on St John! I'm excited for an awesome summer!

* I'm looking forward to a surprise day off tomorrow! I'm thinking sleeping in, then the beach:) Sounds like a wonderful plan to me!

Happy Hump Day friends:)

Mr & Mrs Smyth


We said "I do"! Sky and I are officially man and wife! We said our vows, just the two of us, on Hawsknest Beach on March 23, 2012. Our friend Dru preformed the ceremony on that beautiful afternoon. Our friend Yelena Rogers did a wonderful job capturing our special day with gorgeous photographs! We spent the weekend relaxing and enjoying the beauty of our St John. We are currently finalizing our honeymoon plans, to be taken later this year! 

Since we eloped and couldn't have our family and friends join us, we are in the process of planning a huge celebration! We will have a vow renewal and reception next year on our 1st anniversary and we look forward to celebrating with everyone!!! Invites will be sent out in the next couple of months.

Thank you friends and family for all of the love, support, congratulations, and well wishes! We are so happy, so in love, and looking forward to a life full of adventures and joy!

xoxo,
Mr & Mrs Smyth
