Only ONE WEEK to go!!!

[Clarity]

I just realized that it’s exactly one week before we celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in Negril!

When I reflect back to how we started and how far we’ve come it really amazes me.

Markus and I married right after graduating college. We were very young and very broke, literally living month to month to pay the rent. We were both working as a mural artists, Markus was also working as a waiter on the weekends. We lived in a house in Florida with two other college roommates.

We managed to pull together an entire wedding with 40+ people on a budget of $500. (everyone thought we were crazy)

I posted our wedding story here in the blog section:

We didn’t have a honeymoon and it was eight years before we could afford our first real vacation. The fact that we’re taking this trip next week and for the length of time that we’re traveling is a major milestone in our life. It’s truly a dream come true!

I wanted to share our story to give you a more intimate glimpse of who we are and how much this means to us. I don’t know if we could have pulled this off without all of your amazing advice, suggestions, encouragement, and support

THANK YOU everyone for your help in planning this anniversary trip!


That’s us, 10 years ago after our wedding. The suitcases were wedding gifts. Markus had just accepted a job in Germany and we were planning to move there in a month. (and of course, I didn’t know a word of German) That was the beginning of our life adventure together and I never looked back.
10 best years of my life.


We'll see you all soon...
...In Negril!!

All you need is love......
That is what comes to mind when I read your wedding story. It's true, isn't it? All you really need is love. And anyone can see that is exactly what you two have. And people enjoy being in the presence of true and great love. You two put out so much joy and love in the world and that is why you get it back from so many, including all of us. Your wedding day sounds amazing and I can't wait to hear how amazing the anniversary is as well.
I am so glad I get to share a little bit of the joy and celebration too!
Group toast to the bride and groom! Cheers!

Nice story Clarity, did you ever find your wedding band? Congratulations on 10 years and spending the time in Jamaica. 12 days is nice. Enjoy!

Thank you so much SuzieQ, Patty Sather, BreanaAshlee, Marley, Sweetness, Pretty40, Gerryg123, Angel for your kind comments and well wishes!! We can't wait to meet you guys! Soon come!

BreanAshlee – I wish we could meet you in person next week too, but I have a feeling we will cross paths some time in the future! Have fun during ATI! I know you're going to have an amazing time!

Angel – No, we never found that wedding ring, but Markus bought me a new one and I still have it to this day. (although it dropped to the bottom of the ocean once during a snorkeling trip...he did dive down & retrieve it!)
We're looking forward to 12 days, I still can't imagine what it's going to be like to be in Jamaica for that many days! so excited!
When are you going back to Negril?
