Start of the Honeymoon

Since I promised I would post pictures in a few days, a while back, I figured I would go ahead and get started on the honeymoon. Although I am at work right now. I will start the honeymoon from the day it started, August 2nd, and then continue until I am finished and post pictures along the way.

I would say the honeymoon started immediately following the reception. Since everyone traveled such a long distance, Lamar and I decided to hang out with our guests at the after party. We went to the bar at the Lodge and continued to mingle and chat with our friends and family until around 1:00am. (The after party continued til around 4:00am for some.)

The next morning we woke up and finished packing our bags and said goodbye to all of our friends and family and headed to the airport. After arriving at the airport, American Airlines proceeded to call me and tell me that 3 of our groomsmens flights had been cancelled and were rescheduled for the next morning. After talking with them for about 45 minutes we finally cleared up the situation and they were able to make it back home that night. (Sidenote: I will never fly American Airlines again!!) From Denver we proceeded to Dallas-Fort Worth where we had a short lay-over then headed to JFK for the night. WE spent the night in New York City. This was the first time to New York City for both of us, but yet didn't have enough time to even explore the city. So we will definitely be back. We were back at the airport around 9:00 and were heading to St. Lucia for 6 nights. After a 4 1/2 hour flight we finally made it and couldn't get over how green, mountainous, and beautiful St. Lucia was.

In my next post, I will write about our stay at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian.

Bad Blogger

Well we have been back from our honeymoon for almost two weeks and I still have not posted any pictures. I am such a bad blogger. I promise that within the next couple of days I will sit down at home and force myself to post some pictures of our wonderful time in St. Lucia.

Until then, please keep Adyson Palmer in your prayers. She is the beautiful little girl of our great friends Scott and Jan Palmer and has been in the hospital since Monday due to periods of apnea. They are still awaiting news from test results to determine the cause of the apnea.

More Pictures

Well here are some more pictures courtesy of Lamar's mom. I am so please with how everything turned out. It honestly couldn't of been any more perfect. Everything went so well and we all truly enjoyed ourselves.

Hope you enjoy!

Mr. & Mrs. Rutland

Well it is official and has been since August 2nd, 2008. I know I am a bit behind, but what can I say, I 've been a little preoccupied, with the wedding and then the honeymoon.

I want to say thank you to everyone who came to Colorado to share in our special day. It meant the world to both Lamar and myself. We are so grateful that everyone made it safe and were ecstatic to have everyone we love so much surround us on such a special day.

Well, I am sure you have been waiting for pictures so here you go.

We don't have many pictures of the two of us together yet. So when I get those I will get those posted. Hope you enjoy the little teaser at least. Can't wait to see everyone!

We love you all!
