My beautiful new bride Terri!
I’ve been away from blogging for a month or so and thought I’d provide a little update on what’s been going on in my life. As you can deduce from the above photo the biggest change is that I married my sweetheart Terri. We were very busy getting ready for our special day and planning our honeymoon and even though I did get a little birding in between running around, there just never seemed to be enough time to blog.
It’s Official!
I also was spending time in the gym and managed to shed 17 lbs in the first 6 weeks of the year and was glad I did as our honeymoon was on a cruise ship and they sure do feed you on those ships!

Our wedding was held at the Green Cay Nature Center, where we had met a couple of years ago. It was so nice to have many of our friends and family there to celebrate with us. The whole wedding turned out absolutely perfectly and a big thanks goes out to the staff at Green Cay and our Caterer “D. E. lish!”
The perfect wedding cake!
One last big thank you goes out to our good friend Jamie Felton for making our wedding cake. It was soooo wonderful and was delicious too!
Did I mention that it is a behemoth of a ship!
We honeymooned on the Royal Caribbean ship the “Allure of the Sea’s”. This is the largest of all the cruise ships and we had a fabulous time. The shows were all fantastic and there is so much food available that it’s impossible to even sample everything that is available.
We stopped at three ports. Nassau in the Bahamas, St. Thomas US Virgin Islands and St Maarten. All three ports were wonderful and the people so friendly you just had to have a good time!
St John’s, which we toured. It was an amazing island.
St Maarten. I took a 3 hour hike down a mountain and through the jungle … which was way cool!
I did see a few birds on the trip and have been birding a little since coming home Sunday. I’ll post about those soon!
Thanks for visiting and I do appreciate all of your comments … I really do!!
Congratulations! That’s awesome news. You’re a wonderful couple and you both look so happy in your photos. Great wedding venue:-)
Congratulations! Had been wondering where you’d gone. … I have my own similar life change coming up in May. 😉 … All the best to you and your beautiful new bride … Be well, Dorothy 🙂
Congratulations! Wishing you both happiness, love, laughter and all the best 🙂
Congrats! What a cool place for a wedding. My goal is to hit Green Cay this spring. Looks like you guys had a great trip.
