travel

so we've started talking about possible honeymoon destinations. so far we've "narrowed it down" to any country bordering the Mediterranean (top contenders being Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Greece & Croatia), in the Americas we're looking at Belize & Brazil... and if our travel budget sucks, maybe one of the southern states with nice beaches... we're also looking at Japan, Australia, India, and Thailand. so yeah... we use the term "narrowed it down" very loosely. Our final choice will depend on August weather, and our final budget after all of the other wedding expenses. We nixed the idea of a cruise. We both think it would be cool to do a cruise of the Florida Keys, or an Alaska cruise... but not for the honeymoon. We're more interested in hitting a beach to relax and spend copious amounts of time just enjoying being together (and for me, at least one day to see the art, UNLESS we end up in Spain ~ because Spain is so super cool, i know we'll be back time and again... so I told Mike that my only request in Spain is that he goes with me to see the Alhambra. I know he would love to see it - because it's the coolest building on the planet!)

The wedding budget just got a little sweeter today, too. On my way out of work today, I ran into my principal, and she asked me if I would be interested in working on the yearbook (which she emphasized would be "extra work for extra pay") ~ I've always thought that working on a yearbook would be fun, and she thought the layout stuff would be a natural fit for their art person... so I told her I'm totally on board with that as long as I can work with someone who has done it before, since I don't have prior experience doing it. So my paycheck just got a little bigger today... and therefore my wedding budget just got a little bigger today. ;)
