shaking off the sand...

its a challenge to begin putting to words my experiences these past couple of weeks. i feel like i've been living a wonderful dream...i'm now married to my dream guy! we exchanged our vows surrounded by friends and loved ones on a gorgeous day in February and started our happily ever after with a trip to mexico which i am now convinced may be heaven on earth. over our ten blissful days out of the country, we managed to completely escape reality, avoided all news media and connection with the outside world, we ate gourmet food at every meal, spent most all of our waking ours on the beach, sipped tropical drinks, managed to get a little bit tan, caught up on our rest and relished our oasis from the overall hustle and bustle of life. needless to say, as i've spent the past several days unpacking, doing laundry, trying to get the house in order and returning to work...i'm having difficulties shaking off the sand.
