Our Honeymoon in St. Lucia

So I'm trying to update everyone on the first few years of our lives together as husband and wife and so far in my first post alone, I've only covered our wedding. YIKES! And in this current post, I'll only be covering our first week of marriage. I promise the rest of our posts will cover more time in our lives. It's just hard to sum up the past few years of your life!!

So after our amazing wedding, we spent a week in St. Lucia for our honeymoon...

It was a 1.5 hour drive from the airport to our resort, so we stopped a few times to take some pictures & look at the gorgeous scenery...

When we arrived at our resort (Sandals Grande), we were greeted by our butler. Yes, that's right, our butler. Sweet precious Brian surprised me and got us our own butler for the entire week! Keisha (our butler) escorted us to our rondoval, which we had been upgraded to. Keisha popped a bottle of champagne for us to sip on as she gave us a tour of our rondoval.
We were on Cloud 9 for the rest of the trip!

Our rondoval was super swanky! We had our own private pool and hot tub in our backyard. There was an outdoor shower, a hammock to relax in, and a breakfast table. It was truly paradise!

Keisha did everything for us. She unpacked our bags, escorted us to dinners, brought us drinks on the beach, and drew bubble baths for us.

Keisha served us a special dinner in our room. She served us our favorite appetizers and entrees from all the restaurants on the resort. She lit candles and even put on a romantic CD (it was Jamaican music of course, but still so sweet).

Here we are at our reserved spot on the beach. Keisha brought us drinks and fresh fruit. I tell you it was TRULY paradise!

There were so many delicious restaurant choices on the resort. Keisha would escort us to dinner every night and when we returned to our rondoval, she always had a special surprise waiting for us... she would sprinkle roses all over the floor leading out to our hot tub (or jacuzzi in the room or on the bed, etc.)... complete with champagne, desserts, candles, and cigars. So romantic!

One night we went on the "Evening Party Cruise." There were only 15 other couples on the boat with us - it was wonderful. We were served appetizers and drinks. We were able to see the most beautiful sunset we had ever seen!

All of our bags are packed and we are NOT ready to go!

Our honeymoon in St. Lucia was nothing short of fabulous. St. Lucia was beautiful and we were truly blessed to have such a wonderful experience. We hope that we can go back to Sandals Grande for our 10-year anniversary (although I'm trying to convince Brian to make it 5-year!).

After we returned from a week in paradise, it was back to "reality" and "real life" set in. We both had to go back to work... Brian went back to Prudential and I went back to nannying Lydie. It was hard getting back into the groove of work and the real world, but being together made it all worthwhile!!
