Just checking in with you, our lovely readers, in between two great weeks of posts from Bucuti Beach Resort in Aruba. Last week we featured our own site visit down there. And coming up this week is the stunning, romantic, intimate destination wedding of Carla and Tad Bohlen of Oklahoma. They were kind enough to share some really beautiful photos with us.

Our weekend is coming to a lovely, lazy end with homemade pizza and catching up on the DVR. We packed in dinner with Chris and Marissa at Lighthorse Tavern here in JC, I caught a play with my awesome brother, watched some Netflix, volunteered at a free breakfast, and had an indulgent brunch at Max Brenner (check out my awesome hot chocolate above). New week, here we come!
