At long last, our honey moon!

I'm finally getting some time (or making some time. I've been catching up on lost season 5 online) to tell you about our honey moon.  It was a great time.  We went to North Carolina the day after the wedding.  We flew on Southwest.  Our lay over was in Phoenix, which went fine.  But we were the very last 2 people to get on the plane in Phoenix heading to Raleigh.  So there were no seats next to each other.  Well I asked a guy who had an empty seat next to him if he wouldn't mind going to another seat, thus freeing up two seats next to each other.  His reply was "You have your entire lives to sit next to each other."  I wanted to punch him in the face!  He and his wife had a seat between them, so apparently things weren't going well in his marriage, but that didn't give him the right to be a jerk.  So I went and asked the steward if he would make an announcement.  He announced that we were on our honeymoon and asked if anybody would move seats so we could sit together.  Everyone clapped, but nobody offered to move.  So eventually we sat down in separate parts of the plane.  I was pretty mad and Amanda was getting upset.  So then the steward got back on the intercom and said "The happy couple has just offered to buy drinks the whole flight to whoever will move (which we didn't)." Then eventually two women volunteered, and said they didn't drink.  So we did  get to sit next to each other. What a relief.  They kept saying things about us being on a honeymoon the entire flight. Ha Ha.

One of the Stewardess's was curious and started talking to us when the lady next to me went to the bathroom.  We told her we were married in the temple in utah, etc.  turns out she was a member from Mesa and was in Stephanie Meyer's ward.  She was way nice and very talkative.  Then near the end of the flight she made an announcement that she had made us a "cake" and presented us with this roll of toilet paper she made.  She told us she is very into scrap booking and had a lot of fun making it for us.  They also gave us 3 big bulk bags of peanuts which we ended up serving at our reception in Wake Forest.  Thanks SouthWest.  
For our actual honey moon we stayed at a B&B in Pilot Mountain, NC.  It was about an hour and a half west of Raleigh.  It was neat.  We were in a cabin in the woods.  Our cabin was the Penthouse sweet, and very nice.  We even had our own personal hot tub in the living room.

(The bed is all messed up because it was the end of the week and we were checking out and took the sheets off, I promise.)
And that is our honeymoon in a nutshell.  My 2nd favorite part was spending every minute with Amanda and not having a care in the world.  For that week we didn't have to worry about school, work, homework, money, anything.  It was so relaxing and such a great week.
