Traveling + First Thoughts of Puerto Rico | Day 1

We left for Chicago Saturday evening, it had not started snowing in Fort Wayne yet but the closer we got to Chicago the worse the roads were. It was so bad that our 4-hour drive turned into 6 because of how slow we all had to drive. We passed 4 wrecks and it was a great reminder to take it slow and just get to the airport safe! We arrived and then waited for our JetBlue counter to open to check our bag for the flight! 

We didn't really sleep so once 5:00am hit we were just in a daze of sleepy excitement. Ready to be on the plane and sleep but sadly it took almost 1 hour for us to take off once on the plame, because they had to clear off so much snow/ice (we found out today that there were a ton of flights canceled Sunday night, thank goodness we flew out early!) 

It was a very long flight, on and off sleep, hungry, ready to be on the ground and get some food in us!

Once we landed and had our bags and then the long wait for the rental car we were on our way to Moca, PR where Cain's buddy lives. It was great to see a friend after that long day of traveling! The last time we had seen Herandez was on our wedding day! So there were lots to catch up on. His wife, Manely made us amazing Puerto Rican supper. We made it to our amazing hotel late Sunday night and we were greeted by the nicest staff I have ever meet in a hotel. I think they could tell we were tired yet excited to be there finally! Thank you Marriott for being so amazing to us! 

The room is amazing and we feel so blessed to be here staying for free!!! More to come on our second day in Puerto Rico! 

NOVEMBER 2016 | VLOG

It was the BEST of months. I will never forget my time in Texas with Cain, the moment he found out he past his Paramedic test and the face of Emma when she realized Cain had made it home. Those things will only get sweeter with time.

Our Next Adventure | Puerto Rico

When Cain was away for Paramedic school we started planning a vacation for when he was back home, just a little get away for us to take, seeing how we were apart for so long. We started to plan it and things really started to get exciting! We found out that Cain would have lots of points for free hotel nights after staying in a hotel for 4 months in Texas, we found great plane tickets and everything fell into place with dates. We booked our trip to Puerto Rico! We were excited about it when we booked it but Cain was still in Paramedic school and we were just focusing on him getting through and put the trip in the back of our heads, because we had lots of other things going on at the time. 

Bluffton, Indiana One Year Anniversary Session | Jay + Chelsea

I loved this session because Cain was home and we were able to catch up with Chelsea! Cain and Chelsea graduated high school together and we had not seen her for a couple years so it was nice seeing her and also getting to know Jay better!! They were celebrating their first year of marriage and it was a great session, they braved the cold weather and had lots of smiles!
