NEED RECOMMENDATIONS!!!!

Alright! Jer and I are really struggling with the location of our honeymoon!
If you have any recommendations, PLEASE OH PLEASE speak up!

So the situation is this.

We have been planning Greece since we began talking honeymoon. Initially we wanted a cruise but they all depart the Saturday following our wedding and I have limited vacation time. Our next options are a land/cruise tour, staying put in a hotel on the sea and exploring or a full guided land tour. Our options with these remain limited due to cost but some definitely fall within our budget.

The negatives to Greece:
*The travel time it requires to get there
*The amount of our budget which will be allocated to flights
*When will we be able to travel this far once we start having kids?

The positive to Greece:
*does not have to be explained!
*The waters are bluer than blue
*There are white and black sand beaches
*The food options will be phenomonal
*The history/mythology is endless
* Also, I have always had this feeling that I may have been Venus in a past life! ;)

Another option we have began discussing is Cabo! Who can resist an amazing, adventurous Mexican getaway.
We have run into All-Inclusives, normal hotels and Amazing Resort and Spa retreats. If we go Cabo, we must go all in to get the best quality out of this option. Plus there is always the chance that we can vacation to Cabo once we start our family, so this is definitely a possibility in the nearer future.

The negatives to Cabo:
* The limited activity provided by an all inclusive
* The limited activities for adventure and history
* The number of families that may be vacationing
* The September weather may be iffy due to hurricane season

The positives to Cabo:
* The beautiful beaches
* The endless mexican food
* The bottomless cocktails
* Returning to Milwaukee with a tan
* The short flight which will allow us more vacation time

Now that you have read the positives and negatives to both, please provide a recommendation based on your honeymoon, your past travels or your advice as a friend!

We could use a little help as we keep going back and forth!
Thanks in advance!

Houston, We have a problem!

After a fun filled, child loving, Halloween weekend in Houston, I wanted to share the great moments that we captured with Cash Heisler! Not only is this boy growing up to be so smart and ahead of his age but he is so well behaved and so funny! We spent the weekend with Cash asking "What's That" about everything that he saw and Jeremy even came home still playing the game!
We are definitely looking forward to the days when we begin our own family!

Happy Halloween!

On October 18th, 2008 Jer and I spent the evening listening to Sounds of the Season, carving pumpkins and watching Thrillers!
Happy Halloween to all and to all a goodnight!

SOME MORE MARATHON PHOTOS!!!

Chicago Marathon 4:15

I ran my first Marathon on October 12, 2008!
Thanks to the love of my life I found the inspiration to be a better me and set out to accomplish any goals or dreams that I may have. Below are a few photos surrounding the day but more will be coming!

Right around the corner!

7 Days, 6 Nights, 3 Runs, 3 Rest Days and 1 Flattop Dinner until the Chicago Marathon! It has almost been a full year since I told myself I was going to accomplish this race however it feels like yesterday. The long runs seem so far removed from my training that I am beginning to make myself nervous and wonder if I am ready!
Keep your fingers crossed because this is going to be a long run!
Please hope for chilly, rainy weather too! It would be so nice if the weather man was right this time!!!!
