it's good to be newlyweds

So if you haven't read the post about our stay at the hotel in Indy, read that one first...

We woke up at the proverbial crack-butt of dawn this morning only finding ourselves rushing around once more. We thought we were doing okay, but a long, cold wait in the long-term parking lot put us in a bit of a panic.

Long story short... we got the flight okay and we, along with almost our entire wardrobe, made it to Orlando safely. Seriously... we packed way too much. (If you have an itch, we have three types of cream for that.) But that's another story.

So we get to the Caribe Royale resort after a $45 taxi ride. (They were nice enough to allow us to checkin 4 hours early) We get checked in and the bellhop (Norman) showed us to our room. We mentioned that we were on our honeymoon and getting ready to leave on a cruise. When we arrived at our room, he opened our door and then quickly picked up the phone. We thought it was strange, but what do we know? So we listened as he talked to someone at the front desk. "I just showed two guests to their room. They're on their honeymoon and only with us for a night. Is there any way we can upgrade them from their double beds to a king deluxe suite?" You've got to be kidding me! This is too much fun.

It's no presidential suite, but it's not bad. Nice big room and a jacuzzi tub to boot!

We've had so much fun in the last six days. We haven't told you anything about the river house, Henry's Ark, paradise, Joseph, Morty's, and a bunch of other stuff. We'll post more when we get a chance. We miss everyone! A little. Okay not too much... Off to lunch!

Hello Brother and Sister!!
Steve, (I am singing this) forever more you'll be my brother, you'll be my brother forevermore....and I will love you like a brother, just like a brother forevermore!!

What a great time you all are having!! Thanks for giving us some of the details and photos of THE ROOM! Wow!! I was thinking about how cool it is that you gave 10% of what the Presidential Suite normally costs..($600.00 I heard.).AS if God had the room and let you have it for a 10% tithe! I think that may be a sign from Him that He is pleased with your marriage and wants to always give you back more than you can imagine.

Love you all!! Have fun on the cruise. We had a great time at KidWay tonight. The kids are loving the satellite feed from you all. Ethan was very excited to see your faces!!!

Talk with you soon.
Teresa
