When Life Gives You Rotten Lemons

Sometimes things happen in life that make you appreciate the small things...

And other times you just start to wonder, "What the hell did we do to deserve this?!?"

When Josh hurt his knee a MONTH before our wedding and we had to cancel our honeymoon, we slowly came to realize cancelling was a blessing in disguise because this way we'd get to look forward to our trip. We rescheduled our fabulous Mexican getaway for May 1 -- today-- which is also our 6 month Anniversary. However, today - I'm at work instead :-(

Early last week the SWINE FLU took over the world and we were forced to cancel our honeymoon - AGAIN! We have some seriously bad luck. I mean, really? PIGS ruined our trip??

We spent the entire day yesterday frantically trying to book our (third) honeymoon. And alas, late last night, we booked a week long trip to Jamaica!!!!!!! Everyone please keep your fingers crossed and prayers said that we get to go this time.

So we've learned from all this is to laugh about things that sometimes seem overwhelming, and be thankful for what we DO have.

And we've also learned that sometimes life just gives you rotten lemons, so pour yourself a nice big glass of bitterness and enjoy!!

In conclusion...very, very soon, we will be here...

Chad and I planned our honeymoon for Mexico and then surprise! a tornado! so I think they lesson learned may be to stay away from mexican vacations because they find a way to ruin your plans. Jamaica sounds even more amazing anyway!
