My wife and I were talking about our honeymoon this morning.
It left me feeling melancholy. Our honeymoon was in November of 2011 and I haven't had a proper vacation since then. I haven't taken any time off of work and I attended school for 2.5 years solid starting in May of 2012. Yeah, it's kind of sad when you think about it.
We were talking about where we went and the things we did on our honeymoon. We went to Tybee Island, Georgia and stayed at a bed and breakfast almost right on the beach. We did all of the things dastardly tourists do there. We went on a dolphin tour, visited a Civil War era Confederate fort, ate fresh seafood, and went on a guided tour of nearby Savannah. We also shopped, of course. The Occupy movement was going strong at the time and Savannah had a local movement.
We were very happy and completely unaware of the challenges that were coming. Indeed, the past three years have been some of the most challenging times of my life. They have also been the happiest...by far.
The highlight of our honeymoon for me was staying up at night and going to the beach. We were blessed with a full moon and clear weather and the moon would light up the night so bright that it would cast a shadow. There was a swing on the beach and we would sit there and talk under the moonlight, listening to the waves come in.
I love my wife so much.
I vow that this year we are going to make it back to Tybee Island and have a proper vacation. That's my New Year's resolution.

You're lucky to have her and vice versa. And I bet you do make it back to Tybee.
Sounds like you two have a great relationship. Hang on to that resolution and make it come true.
Yes, you will do that, and it'll be great!
What a wonderful resolution...
Happy New Year to you both!
do have the resolve to make this happen.
Happy new year to you and Ms. Tobin S.
Raine.
(PS: I Loved Tybee Island. WE went there over labor day weekend a few years ago. )
