Of marriage! Mr. Restyle and I tied the know back in August 1991. 25 years and 3 kids later we decided to take a break from all of our renovation and home improvement projects and get a way for a while.
The original plan was to visit a place like Israel or Ireland or Alaska and then reality set in. 😦 These destinations were WAY too expensive and after all these years it didn’t seem all that important to whoop it up. We survived many trials and rough patches as have many couples who’ve been together a long time, I’m sure.
Plan B was a drive out to the Canadian east coast (we live in southern Ontario). We had arranged to take off this week actually but with out daughter still away in Vancouver and our oldest son going back to university (he lives away from home) we just couldn’t leave our youngest home alone.
On to Plan C! Although a beach vacation is not at all what we really wanted to do originally, it somehow turned out to be EXACTLY what we both needed. Sharing a few pics of our 2 weeks down in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. All of the outfits you see in the pics are put together from thrifted items (on both of us) with the exception of the white dress, which I’ve had for a few years.
I hope your summer is winding down nicely. To all those who’ve been in a relationship for as long as we have (or close to it), I congratulate you. These really could be the best years, I think. BTW, I haven’t posted a picture of myself on here in quite a while. I dyed my hair red last fall and haven’t tired of it yet.
Mr. is off on a business trip this week but I’m back at it. I’m prepping the staircase for stain and paint while he’s gone and trying to catch up reading blogs that I follow.
In front of our building. Sandals are Clark’s Artisan and they are SO comfy!
Special dinner the hotel arranged for us for our anniversary.
Peacocks, pheasants, ducks and other animals roam freely. The resort is on a nature reserve. Me wearing a wild animal print halter dress. I’m a little more daring in my outfits when I’m on vacation. Nobody knows me!
The beach is absolute perfection!
