Boats in a Line

In all the chaos of planning for a wedding, trying to please everyone, and getting everything else done, sometimes a moment of silence is needed. A moment where one can walk along a sandy beach, ignoring the sounds of the volleyball game going on not too far away, and just take a few deep breaths. I had such a moment this past weekend. After going to the park to celebrate a future relatives birthday I took a few moments to step away from the hubbub and have a few minutes of peace to myself. I don’t know what it is about boats in a straight line on the sandy shore, but it was very peaceful and relaxing seeing them. And when the sun was setting and the gold reflected off the minuscule ripples, it was inexplicably satisfying.

New Roommate

We have an official new roommate.

In preparation for my wedding on July 16th my fiance’s 4-month kitten has officially moved in. We are working on getting her comfortable with Prince the Proposal Kitty who is fighting to establish who’s the real ‘king’ of the apartment. I will admit, a 4-month-old kitten has ALOT more energy than I do.

22 Days

Until the wedding.

23 Days

Until the honeymoon. And lots of pictures to come in the near future.

Elizabethan Gardens and the Beach

April 24, 2016 Deby Ciui (Chewy)Leave a comment

This Saturday was an interesting adventure.

Spontaneous.

It was a beautiful day out so we wanted to go to the aquarium. Well, half-way towards the the aquarium we realized how ill-prepared we were. Our phones were both dying (aka GPS was becoming unavailable). It took 3 hours to get to this aquarium only to discover that…

Aquarium is closed for renovations.

So there we were, stranded in the Outerbanks with no phones, no aquarium. Only ourselves and my camera. So we explored. We found the Elizabethan Gardens near the Lost Colony theater (no shows were playing but the gardens were still open) the scenery was beautiful and we got a good walk out of it. It was interesting.

$50 later…

We had to stop at an auto-zone to buy car chargers for our phones. We had dinner on a water-front restaurant and walked on Jennettes Pier all the way to the very end. It was very windy but I loved it. I’ve always loved the ocean. Some people find it slightly depressing. No idea why. But I loved it. I could sit there and listen to the sound of those waves forever. But alas we couldn’t stay there forever. We had a wonderful adventure and lots of great memories. But in the end here is what happens when a girl and a guy have nothing but a camera and a remote.

We are dorks.
