my my how the time goes by!

I cannot believe April is almost over! Shout out to my wonderful parents! It is their wedding anniversary today!

Well believe it or not the bridal shower, reception, and honeymoon have come and gone! (I wish I was still in sunny Florida...take a look at that beach!) We had an absolutely amazing time. I will post some separate entries with pictures from the reception when my wonderful photographer is done editing them.

We decided that we liked the idea of having this blog be where our family, friends, and other people (let us know who you are!) can find updates on our life! So...(drumroll pleaseeee) we are keeping the blog! We couldn't keep it thejoneswedding because well...that happened! We are calling this blog thisjoneslife!

We are moving out of our first apartment in a month! We are moving into an absolutely gorgeous duplex! Our pastor and his family bought the house and we are going to be the tenants on the other side. Each side is at least 2200 sq. feet! We were able to pick the paint colors and even pitch in with some of the renovations. We would like to provide this website as a contact for you to ask us for our new address when we do move, for you to follow our moving process, and to be involved in our lives even though you may be far from us.

So hang in there! More information very very soon! But for now I have to send out all the thank yous to my lovely friends and family!

Our Honeymoon is booked!

For those of you who are wondering where we are going on our honeymoon we were wondering up until this week too! We booked our trip this week though and we finally have a destination!!!
The things that Ian wanted in a honeymoon was to have fun and relax- those were top priorities of mine too but I was craving something else too.....WARMTH!
I probably picked the worst winter ever to move to Syracuse- there is still snow on the ground. Most of you that know me know that I love the beach, water, warmth, sun etc. (I mean if you got the invite you know my little nautical touches - just wait for the reception I still have some tricks up my sleeve!) so a warm location was top priority for me. The up/downside of the timeframe for our honeymoon is it is a lot of peoples spring break- Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday....guess what that means??? All the prices are extremely high and raised for the holiday. I almost gave up thinking we would just wind up somewhere cold and we would still have a great time but there would be no lounging by the pool, no soaking up the sun, no sundresses...but then I found a super great deal! We are going to FLORIDA!!!! I'm super excited (and I think Ian is too).
So now we get the chance to take a roadtrip to/from Long Island and we get to fly to Florida and enjoy some R&R in the sun. I can not wait!

Welcome!
