To Do List

December is approaching very fast, where did the year go by? It's overwhelmingly exciting how much change will happen in my life in a span of one month! Goodbye NYU, ta-tah singlehood, hello Mrs. you-know-who and Aloha! To give you an idea, this is how my to-do list looks like right now.

1. Graduate (again)
2. Get a job
3. Get married
4. Go on a honeymoon
5. Start a new life as an "adult"

Please allow me to pat myself on the back ;-) At 25, this should be fabulous news. But this is just the beginning obviously. There will be more humps and challenges along the way. But I am very happy, I really am.

I do have so many people to thank for. You know who you are. Without you, I wouldn't have made good choices. I wouldn't be right here. I love you.

The Rockefeller Tree Has Arrived!

Walking to work yeasterday, I chanced upon a pretty sight! The Rockefeller Christmas tree was being put up :) It was gigantic.

Christmastime is coming, I can hear the bells ringing and the angels sing... as I put on my wedding ring. Corny.

Read all about where the tree came from.

Honeymoon!

One of the many things David and I have in common is our passion for traveling. Why wait until retirement to travel the world, when you can do it while you're young and looking great in photos? Hehe.

You can suspect that planning our honeymoon getaway is a fun experience we are delighted to go through! And since we are having two weddings, there are 2 trips to plan!

But let's take it one honeymoon at a time. Because of the visa sh*t, we were left with no choice but to go local. It's not that bad. The US is such a huge country, that each corner is its own beautiful vacation spot.

We thought... warm weather or cold weather? Hmmm...

If it's in cold weather, Utah was on top of the list! It will be a skiing honeymoon in Park City. There are plenty of beautiful ski resorts in Utah, and what better way to cozy up as newly weds than being in front of a fireplace in a nice, warm (and romantic) winter cabin.

If it's in warmer weather, we thought about Hawaii. Aloha! :) White, brown and black sand beaches, surfing, scuba diving, massages. An endless view of the ocean. Aaahh, total relaxation.

Pros and cons. Cons and pros. Thinking. Googling. Checking our bank accounts. Our miles accrued. Coordinating flight schedules. Googling some more. Checking our banks again. Clicking. Calling. Reserving. BAM! And the verdict is out.

Hawaii it is!!! Woohoo! I can already hear the sea calling me and taste the lobster dinner served to us by the beach.

We've booked our hotel and our flights already and I am counting the days...

I am soooo excited. The kind of excitement that only a bride-to-be and a newly-wed can understand and feel.
