Wedding Gifts Galore!!!

After our wedding we spent a few days, well more like weeks, opening all of our wedding gifts! We were so grateful to receive so many wonderful gifts! I thought I would share one of our recent purchases that we got with our Crate & Barrel gift cards!! We have part of the furniture set, but not all; it should be in around the middle of May and I am actually awaiting the arrival and hope Kyle is still her to set it up! :)
The set is the Sloane Bar from Crate & Barrel. It's great because you can keep all three pieces together or seperate them. In our current place, we plan on putting the bar and one bookshelf together and then using the remaining bookshelf in the guest bedroom! It's such a cute set and I can't wait to find things to put on all the shelves!

I'll be heading to Jax this weekend to see the hubby and I am counting the minutes! Macey will be staying with her grandpa & grandma Chance, but hopefully she will make the trip up with me next weekend!

Have a great weekend!

Trip to the Beach!

We were fortunate enough to be able to take a little honeymoon to the beach! Thanks to our friends Chris & Shannon Carlyle for letting us stay at your condo!

We drove over on Sunday and had a great lunch on the beach! We came back, laid out in the sun and then got ready to go to my FAVORITE restaurant, The Garlic in New Smyrna Be
ach! Kyle got his usual favorite, Chicken Marsala, andI ordered one of the specials! Our favorite part of dinner was the roasted garlic with balsamic vinegar and olive oil!!! So yummy!!
On Monday, we took Macey Jane to the dog beach in New Smyrna Beach. It was her very first time at the beach and she wasn't so sure of the waves! Kyle tried his best to get her to swim and I was a very sad mommy as all of the other retrievers and labs w
ere galloping through the water and my baby wouldn't even go near!
On Tuesday, we woke up and went to breakfast and then took a nice long walk on the beach! We decided we would begin to pack up and head home since we had lots of unpacking and organizing to do back at home with all of our weddings gifts and Kyle's Navy stuff!

Right now, Kyle is up in Mayport and will check in tomorrow with his ship! Macey and I can't wait to have him back for Easter!!!

Have a great weekend!

It's Official!!!

Well, April 2nd has come and gone and we are officially Mr. & Mrs. Kyle Chance! :) I can't even begin to describe how amazing our wedding day was!!! I wouldn't change a thing and I am so anxious to get the pictures and see the video!!!

Kyle flew in Thursday night and his flight was unfortunately delayed until after midnight!! On Friday morning it was off to see the reception site and do some setup to make everything perfect! :) Kyle played golf with his groomsmen
and enjoyed the Florida sunshine!

Friday night we had a beautiful rehearsal dinner at Enzo's on theLake in Longwood. The Chance's did an amazing job putting it together and everything was just perfect!
Saturday morning we were up early to start getting ready! We had 8 girls getting their hair and makeup done, so we needed lots of time! :) The day went by fairly quick and the next thing I knew I was walking down the aisle to my groom!
The next day was bittersweet as we had to send Kyle back to Newport, RI for 4 more days of Surface Warfare School. We came home, unpacked, opened a few gifts and then it was back to the airport! I feel so bad, Kyle practically lives there now! :(

The following week went by quickly and Kyle flew back into Orlando on Friday(his flight was delayed, again) We were able to take a mini honeymoon at our friends' condo in Daytona Beach Shores, which was so awesome! More photos to come soon!! :)

Have a great weekend! :)
