I'm back!!!



I am back, after such a long and very much needed break from it all (Christmas holidays, wedding preparations, rehearsals, wedding, honeymoon, birthday and being sick and injured) - I am back and now a MRS!!! Our wedding was the first weekend of 2008 and though it was a rainy Southern California Saturday, everything turned out so well. It’s definitely been such a surreal feeling calling Mr. Gardenia my husband but what an exciting and wonderful feeling.

We left for Maui a week after our wedding giving us an opportunity to spend some time with our OOT guests and get settled in our new home. Our honeymoon accommodations were a gift from a family friend of ours so we were able to stay at the Kaanapali Beach Club (formerly Embassy Suites) in Maui . We stayed in Maui for 7 days and enjoyed every single second of our honeymoon vacation. Mr. Gardenia and I enjoyed the sites, a wonderful luau, the Maui Ocean Center , black sand beaches, rain forests, waterfalls and even the local Maui Medical Center . Yes, the medical center.

Mr. Gardenia and I were hiking through one of the waterfalls in Hana when I slipped on one of the rocks and suffered a bad sprained ankle. We visited the Maui Medical Center and ended up leaving there with a temporary cast plus crutches. I felt really bad that incident had to happen but it truly gave us an opportunity to relax and enjoy everything at Maui . We did a lot of driving around the island that we both truly enjoyed. I celebrated my birthday (my first birthday as a Mrs.) in Maui on our last night with a delicious luau at the Hyatt Regency hotel.

There's definitely a lot of blogging that I have to catch up on with my wedding details & DIY, wedding pictures, more honeymoon pictures and my wedding lessons learned. I have missed everyone from Weddingbee and looking forward to sharing with everyone once again. Also, welcome to the new bees and I'm excited to have more bees in the family. and how exciting to hae a weddingbee shop. I can't wait to go shopping!!!!
