Welcome home Zelda!


I was working on the West side of town a few months ago and came across this scraggly unkempt little animal. Upon further inspection I found a tiny little dog who wanted me to hold her. I picked her up and could barely see her face her hair was so long and matted. She was dirty and didn't have a collar. I had to take her home, but had no idea what to do with her. I immediately called the vet, Dr. B, and he told me to bring her right in. They examined her and, while really under-weight, was overall healthy. They gave her some vaccines and I swept her off to the groomer. They had to shave her, her hair was so bad, but when I picked her up I could see what she actually looked like. We determined that she was a Shi-Tzu and really underweight. I knew exactly what to do with her since I knew Alex would say no to another dog. I called my friend Sarah and told her all about her and that I was bringing her to her work so she could meet her. Reluctantly, Sarah decided to take her home and see how it went. I knew it! She loved her and decided to keep her. She has been with Sarah for the last few months and you can tell she is a very happy and healthy dog. Zelda has gained weight and you can actually see her face. I see her all of the time and she is adorable. her mommy takes wonderful care of her and they have become great friends. Here she is already for Halloween.

The Grand Mayan

The lobby was beautiful, we had never seen anything like it
This is the Pool Bar (we spent a lot of time here)

This was the view from the back patio



We had a full kitchen just in case the culinary big bit me (it didn't)



The view from the patio overlooking the pool

There were two pools

The chandeliers were amazing, these are all individual crystals from a 25 foot ceiling

We had our own pool on the patio (we called it the cuddle puddle)

Thoughts


So I have been sick since the first day of our honeymoon. I have some weird drawn out cold, but I vowed to not let it hold me back from doing anything fun. I tried my best to keep Alex going, he is not a sitter:) However, since I have been sick and just kind of sitting around lately, I have had a lot of time to think.


All of out friends said that at our wedding that they had never seen either of us happier. It's true, I have never been happier. I honestly didn't think that anything was going to change after the wedding. Our relationship has always been strong and we have lived together for four years, but something seems different. I have never felt more secure with Alex than I have the last two and a half weeks. We don't get to do the newlywed stuff like buying a house, because we already have one, or get our first pet, we already have two. We did all of this before we actually got married, but still wouldn't change a thing. We do, however, just get to sit back, relax and enjoy married life.


I think we are both so happy and lucky to have found each other. Even though Alex seems serious, no one has ever made me laugh more. He is a wonderful husband who takes care of our house, our dogs, and me. I couldn't ask for anything more and I wish the same happiness for everyone I know.


It is so exciting to look ahead into the future and see our children and imagine what they are going to be like. We aren't in any hurry to have kids, but when the time is right, it will be right. Thank you too all of our family and friends who have supported and loved us throughout these past few years, we love you all very much.

Cabo Here We Come


We are off to Cabo tomorrow for our honeymoon. Everyone has given us great restaurant suggestions and places to visit and we could not be more excited. I feel like we will finally have some much needed quality time alone together as husband and wife. Wow, that is weird. Signing Megan Ross, is even weirder, but I am getting used to it. I digress, but anyway we won't have any phone or email (hooray), so I will check in when we get back!!!

Just a Tease








So, because I am so impatient and excited to see my pictures, I email Karen Kieltyka of Kieltyka Brown Photography yesterday and asked for an ETA on pictage. They are working very hard to get the pics up, but they took over 2000, so this is a big task. She sent me a few just to tease me, but they are wonderful and I can't wait to see the rest.

Honeymoon


So A and I and are honeymooning in San Jose Del Cabo (just North of Cabo San Lucas) and we are so excited. Our friends Beth and Steve Levich offered us their timeshare at the Grand Mayan http://www.grupomayan.com/sp/the-grand-mayan/los-cabos/index.html to enjoy and we are so excited. This will be our first vacation alone together since Costa Rica in almost four years. We really want to spend some time together to just enjoying being married. Please feel free to check out the resort and send us bottles of champagne and strawberries (just kidding), but we will be celebrating our life together for the whole time and loving it. I am sure Rocks and Beans will miss us, but they are very excited that mommy and daddy are official.

It's Official


Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you: Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Ross!!!


We just got back from Boston last night and we are exhausted and looking back on the greatest week of both of our lives. The wedding was absolutely beautiful and perfect. We were a little worried on Saturday when Hurricane Hannah rolled in, but Sunday morning met us with clear skies and sunshine. The weather was incredible and the ceremony was even better. We said our vows and then partied hard. I can't believe not a single thing went awry. Alex even said that is was better than he ever could have imagined. We are so happy and cannot wait for the honeymoon in Cabo! I will post the pictage site when it becomes available, I can't wait to see it.
