a wee bit late, but hadn’t had the time to schedule this before the wedding mania kicked in – regardless, much has happened in the past week (not pregnant. Fret not) and I can’t wait to share…for now, Lexi’s filling in…
Oh hello friends! I’m Lexi and I blog over at Tea and Crumpets and am quited thrilled to be guest posting for the lovely Heidi for the second time! I had the honor once before, which was also my first time ever guest posting, but I am not going to dig through the archives for that post. Feel free though, if you wish 
So while our favorite pink lady is off honeymooning with her HUSBAND, you have the great fortune to spend a few quality moments with me. Aren’t you lucky!
I was thinking about what to write and realized something. Heidi was one of my first friends that I made here in DC. Yes, I am friends with her in real life! Now I’m the lucky one, because she’s a great friend to have and I am so glad that I met her. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane for a moment, shall we? I moved here five years ago for a job for a job on the Hill working for a New England Congressman. That fall, Heidi was here, also working for a New England Congressman (yeah northeast!). Our offices were both in the Rayburn HOB (House Office Building) and we sometimes attended social events there together. She soon went back to Boston for school and we kept in sporadic touch until she moved back after graduation, and the rest, as they say, was history. A friendship was born.
I don’t need to tell you how great Heidi is. You read her blog, you already know this. Since we’re on the subject of Heidi and weddings and honeymoons, let’s discuss what a beautiful bride she will be. I’ll be at her wedding, so I’ll get to see for myself. If you’re lucky, I’ll post a few pictures on my own blog (with her permission, of course!), so you should stop on by sometime and say hello.
Since you are reading this, Heidi is honeymooning in Puerto Rico. Lucky lady! As for my honeymoon (I am not engaged, for the record, just like to get ideas!), I have a few places in mind. I was thinking Greece would be nice, but I know a few people who have recently honeymooned there and I don’t want to go where everyone else does. If you read my blog, you know that I like to be a bit different, ha! (this is probably why I spent a semester studying in Luxembourg, when most friends went to London or Paris and hadn’t heard of Luxembourg!). I also think that Iceland would be amazing. I’ve wanted to go there for a long time. I do think though, that wherever I do go, it will likely be in Europe. I’m not much of a beach girl, so I have little interest in the Caribbean. I know people who adore it, and I’m sure it’s lovely, but not really for me, for now. Ask me again when I am 60 and loving it!
So, discussion question of the day. Where did you/will you honeymoon? How did you choose this place? Was there a lot of discussion/negotiation with your spouse?
