And then there were 6.....

I lost my first follower today! It is sort of sad when you only had 7 to begin with but I think I am going to get past it! It just baffles me that there could be someone who wouldn't want to follow this incredibly interesting, hilarious, well written, work of art! Just teasing. I am hoping that most new bloggers go through what I am going through in that they want to check their blogs all day long to see if there have been any hits on their page or comments left on their posts. I am definitely still in the "honeymoon" phase!

Speaking of honeymoons, I don't think that I have mentioned where Deaner and I are going on our honeymoon. We will be leaving Atlanta on the Monday after our wedding (I have a feeling we will be suffering from exhaustion after this party) and we are heading to Costa Rica for 8 days. I cannot wait. It has hardly been a harsh winter by any standard but I will be ready for some beach weather! It may have been 70 degrees today in Atlanta but you wouldn't have found any sunbathers anywhere in the city. Deaner and I don't tend to have the same taste is vacation destinations, which could have been a problem on our honeymoon, but I think that Costa Rica will satisfy both of our wants. Deaner wants the mountains and I want the beach with a book. I could stay put for hours just sitting on a beach reading in the sun. Not him. His mother must have let him fry in the sun when he was a kid because he is seriously anal about getting sunburned. In the 3 years that I have known him he has never been sunburned once but this is probably because he applies sunscreen every 30 minutes. He is that guy with a white face due to too many layers applied in a short amount of time. He would probably wear ZINC on his nose if I let him! :) Since we did his trip this summer, hiking in the southern Alps, I put my foot down about going to the beach. So, we will be spending the first 3 nights of our honeymoon in Arenal, the area at the foot of a volcano, at this hotel. We have the honeymoon villa here and we plan on hiking (well, I haven't agreed to this yet), taking the zip line canopy tour, and maybe white water rafting. Relaxing huh? From Arenal, we are heading to Tamarindo for the next 5 nights and staying at this hotel. This will be MY part of the vacation! I plan on taking several books and planting myself on the beach. The most active thing I plan on doing while here is taking a day of surf school. We have the honeymoon bungalow at this hotel too and I am really looking forward to it. I'm hopeful that we can keep Deaner's sunburn under control! :)

On a similar note, our wedding invitations went out yesterday and my phone has been ringing off the hook tonight with people telling me that they already received it! I am excited to start getting RSVP's but I am wondering if my mother's nerves can take it! Only 60 more days until the big day! I just said that out loud to Deaner and he sucked in his breath, made a shocked looking face, and then made a farting noise with his mouth. I think that is his way of telling me that he can't wait for me to be his wife!
