HONEYMOON - 2 Weeks in Hawaii!!

As a surprise from my parents, we went to Hawaii for two weeks right after the wedding and had the most amazing time. We stayed on the Big Island at Waikoloa Resort. The weather was perfect EVERY day, the views were beautiful, and the experience was one we will never forget. We actually went to Oahu for a day to visit Pearl Harbor. There are no words to describe how you feel when you actually see the USS Arizona at the botton of the Harbor. It's definitely something that changes your views on life. We also took a day trip to drive around the island to visit various waterfalls, blacksand beaches and the only active volcano on any of the Hawaiian Islands. And of course, we did experience an authentic Hawaiian Luau! We truly appreciate the surprise Mom and Dad and love you for everything you did to make our wedding and honeymoon the most wonderful time of our lives!

So, I'm really far behind posting a lot of the pics from OUR LIFE! I'm trying to catch up.

Needless to say, the order these come in probably won't be too accurate. We hope everyone had a great holiday and happy 2009!

The Koenemann Wedding in Arizona

On October 12th Cory and Sarah were married in Scottsdale, AZ. It was absolutely beautiful. They had the ceremony at the top of a mountain, at Desert Mountain Resort, followed by an awesome ceremony down the mountain! We stayed at Carefree Resorts with everyone, which was a blast! Before you wonder, you will see a teddy bear, who is Rex the Bear, and a cane, who is Ted the Duck! They both attended the wedding as well and traveled all the way from STL! Congrats to you both! We love you!
