On Vacation! :)

Wohoo! The time has come and finally it’s … relaxation time! šŸ™‚ Well, for the most part! I’ll try to keep up with my blogging this week, although it will not be consistent with timing. Better than nothing! šŸ™‚ I’ve already managed to get burned. Of course I should have figured this would happen since the only tanning I get happens during sessions. Besides that, I have also managed to forget my great eating habits that I have worked so hard on the past couple months… šŸ˜‰ With all that being said, this vacation is PERFECT! Haha! And to make this vacation even more perfect, I am here at the beach with Kyle and his family … as if I could not love my the love of my life even more so, he keeps proving me wrong. šŸ™‚ I appreciate every moment I have with him and feel absolutely BLESSED to have him by my side each and every day! <3

Before being stationed at my vacation site for majority of the week, I started my weekend off by driving up to Bethany Beach area for a lovely beach engagement session! My oh my was it a fabulous time! I will be sure to talk more about this session when I post up more photos on my blog! šŸ™‚ Here’s a sneak peek from Clint and Alexis’ session! LOVE the bike!!!

I hope everyone has a FABULOUS start to their work week! šŸ™‚
