Christie and Luke

Keep Austin Sexy

DISCLAIMER – I am in no way biased one way or the other As most of you are painfully aware Christie went to the University of Texas at Austin for undergrad and she is a very proud alumni. I went to the University of Colorado at Boulder for my undergrad and I am a very [...]

4800 Osage Dr For Sale

Our townhouse is for sale! - Realtor Link – Trulia Link Now to the story… Luke and I decided that we should put our house on the market right around the time of our wedding/honeymoon. More specifically, we listed it the day we left for our honeymoon and two days after our wedding. My advise [...]

Cannes, France (Kahn, not Cans)

The last stop on our cruise was in Cannes, France. At this point we were kind of looking for an easy going day and after speaking to some of the crew on the ship we decided to hit up the beach. Most of you have heard of the Cannes Film Festival so you can imagine [...]

Cinque Terre

The last stop in Italy was Livorno, Italy. What’s in Livorno you ask? I don’t know, we didn’t check it out. The nice thing about Livorno is that is is a port town that has access to some really cool places so it is pretty easy to skip over the city. The three places people [...]

Eating too much – Week 2

It’s the second week since we came home from our honeymoon. We swore that we would ease into eating better (i.e. healthier) and that the second week would be the start of this healthier lifestyle. Well, a few days into week 2 we wanted another nice meal. Next up, chicken with garlic. We decided to [...]

Not in Italy anymore :(

Luke and I got home from the honeymoon last week. Thanks to Fergi we came home with several bottle of nice Italian wine and a bunch of Italian spices. Well after being spoiled for two weeks with great food and great wine, we were missing it by our first weekend back. So we cracked open [...]

Il Cucchiaio D’argento

The first time Luke met my parents was for my 29th birthday (March 2008). We spent the day skiing at Keystone and then met up with my parents for dinner at my favorite restaurant in Summit County: Ti Amo. ( Little did I know that this would be our last time at Ti Amo before [...]

We Conquered Rome In A Day

Our second stop in Italy was in Rome and wow what a day. I have never been to Rome but I know there is a lot of stuff here and I want to see it all. We only have 12 hours in port and we need to take a hour long train ride to/from from [...]

Capri

The first place we were excited to go to was Capri which is an island located a short ferry ride aware from Naples, Italy. We got into port at 8:00 AM and we made our way to the ticket counter to get tickets to Capri which was about a 5 minute walk from our boat [...]

Malta – The New “Hot”

When we booked our cruise Christie was listing off the places the ship stopped. Malta, Naples, Rome, Florence and Cannes. I had heard of all of them except for Malta so I asked where that was and Christie responded “Huh, I have no idea, part of Sicily maybe?” so we fired up Google and figured [...]
