Honeymoon

Thanks to Renee's hard work and amazing research, Tyler and I are going to have an amazing honeymoon. We will be staying at Koro Makawa Resort. This resort is absolutely amazing! The resort only takes one customer at a time, so we will have the entire place to ourselves! Everything I have heard about the resort makes me more and more excited for our honeymoon.

A little peak of what we have to look forward to:
· Transportation to and from the Airport by our resort boat
· Reception at the Kadavu Airport by staff with fresh fruit and beverages and refreshing lime scented towelette.
· Greeting upon arrival at the Resort by staff
· Presented with (Fijian Salu Salu) wreath of flowers

2010

Wow…I am a horrible blogger. I can never seem to sit down and write a blog. Tyler and I had a busy holiday season! We went on our “Practice Honeymoon” to Bonaire and returned with just enough time to spare to move into our new house and start the Christmas madness. We spent Christmas Eve with Ross side of the family and enjoyed a low key Christmas Eve dinner with both sets of Tyler’s Grandparents. Christmas day was spent with the Ballini’s. Wade was so excited to open all of his gifts from Santa, Frosty, Mommy, and Grandma and Grandpa. I figured that Wade would get enough toys to last him a life time, so Tyler and I gave Wade a weekend with his favorite aunt and uncle. When we are have Wade for the weekend we are going to take him to the Children’s Museum in Salem and let him go wild. I can’t wait for our weekend of fun!  The day after Christmas was spent with the Sanetel side of the family. We were able to visit with some relatives that we never get to see enough of and enjoy some scrumptious Italian food. After the Christmas madness settled down, Tyler and I retreated to amazing new home in Lebanon.

New Years was spent celebrating my Grandpa’s 89th Birthday at Olive Garden in Eugene. It was great to sit down and dine with almost the entire Jeffers clan. Grandpa looked like he was having the time of his life. After the celebration, my favorite cousin in the world and her family spent the night at our house and we rang in the New Year by play Wii.

On New Year started off on the right foot. On January 11th, Tyler and I welcomed our 2nd nephew to the family. Weston Ivan Anthony Ballini was born at 5:25 PM. We are so excited to have another nephew in our family and look forward to spend a lot of time with him in the future.

All in all…2010 is going to be a great year! I am most excited about marrying the love of my life and start our lives “officially” together. 2009 was a wild ride, but I have a feeling 2010 is only going to be wilder!
