I assume you were there because of your then-husband's job.We've had it done a few times here and there. It's pretty common in the former USSR countries I remember. Having said that, it's NOT okay. Passports are needed to do so much including for emergencies... just in case.
My brother-in-law had jobs in Singapore and Tokyo. He never attempted to adjust back to our time zone when they return for a visit. It is a really hard adjustment.All told, I don’t think I really got over the jet lag/time difference issue until well into the 2nd week of this trip. From N. America to East Asia is no joke in this department!
That is an absolutely gorgeous suite.Our room was amazing!!! We ended up in a 2-bedroom suite with a huge shower/bath.
Wow! That is a huge transformation. It is stunning!Suffice to say, it was almost mind-blowing the transformation and effort that went into the ceremony and reception areas! I wandered off several times to look over and see the progress. WOWZA!
That is a nice picture of you. And your hair and makeup look extremely natural and becoming. Hairdressers and makeup people want to go a little elaborate sometimes.All gussied up, I asked one of the other guests (no idea who it was) to take a few photos of just me by the pool.
She is beautiful and it was a lovely wedding.I was happy that she did choose to have her dad and I both walk her down the aisle. I felt honored and touched. Mikki, I think was totally overwhelmed at the moment and cried all the way down the aisle. But she was an incredibly beautiful bride.
Wow is all I can say - again and again.The reception ended with fireworks! I NEVER would have guessed that was going to part of this spectacular gala Michaela had planned.
I’ve heard that when virtual working was at its height, “gentle reminders” had to be sent to you k ow… have clothes on.Heh. More weird if they were video calls.
….loke a lot of weddings.That's good. And impressive, actually. It could've easily have been a madhouse.
Definitely a possibility!Maybe she couldn't go, so she wasn't asked?
Admittedly it was a good reason to travel!But you were invited instead to the big bash. I know which one I'd pick.
Lol!!You're lucky they didn't eat you at the reception, then!
Exactly!The money would've concerned me too. I always want to pay my share.
It really was like a movie scene! Just so lovely!Looks like a scene from a movie!! Everything looked just incredible, and I am blown away by all of the flowers. Just wow!!
Thanks, Jackie! I love opportunities to dress up and be fancy!I remember when you posted this one on FB. You look like a celebrity!! Even if it isn't a perfect crisp image, it's definitely beautiful!
They looked so great together! Funny story though… Anara bought hers MONTHS before the wedding and posted it to their group to show the others. Then a few weeks before the wedding, one of the other bridesmaids bought the same one which royally irritated Anara. They still looked lovely but… jeez. Especially when the others knew way beforehand.Such a beautiful wedding! Not going to repeat everyone else's comments, but I loved the different shades of green for the bridesmaid dresses. They coordinated so well!
Wow! I’d live to stay there someday! And back-to-back with a wedding in the other coast! That’s lots!! Sounds like a special kind of busy.I'm sorry that I have been MIA. We had a non-refundable DVC reservation at the BCV Apr 7-12 followed by our niece's wedding in California Apr 13-18. It has been a very crazy two-week period. It is fun to compare the niece's wedding in Thousand Oaks to your daughter's wedding, although there is really no comparison.
Mostly but I also found plenty to do with teaching English, quilting, cooking, homeschooling….I assume you were there because of your then-husband's job.
It’s a tough stretch for sure! It took me better than a week to get even close.My brother-in-law had jobs in Singapore and Tokyo. He never attempted to adjust back to our time zone when they return for a visit. It is a really hard adjustment.
So spacious!!!That is an absolutely gorgeous suite.
The difference from naked beach to a full-blown wedding venue with tables, lights, dance floor… amazing!Wow! That is a huge transformation. It is stunning!
They often do, yes. I told him right off the hop that I wanted it very natural and subdued. I think he did pretty well.That is a nice picture of you. And your hair and makeup look extremely natural and becoming. Hairdressers and makeup people want to go a little elaborate sometimes.
Where’s the fun in that?I’ve heard that when virtual working was at its height, “gentle reminders” had to be sent to you k ow… have clothes on.
Admittedly it was a good reason to travel!
FUN! We watched the Derby yesterday. If I'd put money down, I'd have gotten a 9-2 payout. Poop!Heading out to watch the Belfast marathon runners but I had to nip in here for a quick comment first. Laughing at “The throne of stone” tagline. Now you have definitely become royalty
The treehouse is fabulous and your hosts sound wonderful. Swisskapolka has to happen when your living like the Swiss Family Robinson and my oh my you really are living it up with your own pool!!!
One final comment before I go, you know I love all your photos ( if you didn’t you do now) but the sunset photos are absolutely stunning. I know you said they don’t do the scene justice but they blew me away. Simply beautiful
Welcome... back?I'm back... well, at least I'm back to the Kentucky home and trying to settle in and make a new routine for myself.
That's good.I've started my Clinical Rotation #1/3 and so far, it's been far less stressful than I'd thought it might be or could be.
Whoa! You're gonna be one busy sister!I've also landed a job at a Skilled Rehab facility for my weekends that will start June 3rd.
Trust me... don't ask.How have you all been doing the last few weeks? Any fun news? Life happenings? Travel plans? Talk to me!
And apparently, you did!I'm really hoping that I can get an update posted by the weekend's finish.
