Happy anniversary Sentimental Suitcase!

Way to go Suitcase! You are two years old!!!!! And I love you!

Since my first post I have gained 23 followers! Most of my readers come out around Christmas time with my 3 most famous posts found here and here and here! Funny eh?

This blog has seen me move 4 times, adopt a doggie, get engaged, get married, get pregnant, have a miscarriage, follow my path to peace and happiness and finally stay in touch with you! The most important people in the world! My family and friends!

Thanks for reading guys! I hope I can keep you entertained as we move along

Love and Hugs

The Treasure Hunt is back on!

That old MonkaMonk is gonna make it! She laid around all day yesterday looking sick and sad but thanks to all your emails, letters, good wishes, comments and suggestions she is back up this morning with a spring in her step! She's even more intent on finding that perfect treasure out there on the streets and we are equally determined to make sure she never does!

Thanks so much you guys!

Love and Hugs

The Monk has a tummy ache

Our little Strawberry is not feeling well today. She woke up with bad poops and pukes and now won't eat anything! I managed to get her to drink a little water but it looks like all the 'treasure hunting' she does on the streets of Paris is upsetting her stomach.
I wonder what she ate?
We hope she'll be better tomorrow or it's off to the vet we go!

Love and Hugs

P.S. Thanks to Ryan for taking this modern family portrait for us in the Buttes aux Cailles and to Mom for applying my hat in such a interesting way. ;)

Mrs. Klein needs a new pair of shoes

Like a hole in my head! HA! But I think these pretty little babies are just the thing a new sexy wife should be walking around in, don't you?

Thanks to Caroline at Greedy Girl for finding them by Jeffrey Campbell.

Becoming Samantha Klein

Good morning everybody! Me and Sunny are sitting here on the couch patiently waiting for the official wedding portraits to arrive in the mail from Malta and I was just thinking.......how do I change my name?
I guess I need to change it in:
my passport?
my SIN card?
my email?

hmmmmmmm and where else? It's kinda fun to think about and also daunting. Do I have to let anyone know like the government or do I just decide?

Happy Friday everyone! Just wanted to give you a few more pictures from our amazing honeymoon. We can't thank you enough for making it all possible. It was truly the best trip we have ever been on!

Love and Hugs

We're back from our honeymoon!

We got in at midnight last night and set our alarm for 7am to go pick up the missing member of our pack; our little Sunny Monkey! She's back home where she belongs and we are all loved up staying in for the next few days.

Honeymoon was magical! Will update soon!

Thank you so much my amazing family and friends for making our Honeymoon unforgettable!

Love and Hugs

If you miss us?

.........You can have a look at Ashley and Aron's travelogue for Sardinia. It's beautiful. They are a talented couple from New York (He's a Doctor and She's a writer/editor) and they love to travel! You can get lost for months and months on their blog looking at all the travelogues and even just everyday photos from their life. Their blog is called Hither and Thither and Ashley started a baby blog called Baby Mine when she found out she was pregnant almost 38 weeks ago!
Oh man I was just looking at their photos from a recent trip to Cape Cod and they're sooooo good!

Have fun looking around and we'll be back from our very own trip to Sardinia soon!

Love and Hugs

Honeymoon! Oh yeah baby!

We're on our way to Sardinia for our 12 day honeymoon! Thanks to all your generous gifts we will be lounging by the beach, snorkeling, renting boats, having sea side dinners and sleeping in at the most gorgeous suites on the island!
Thank you our beauitful guests! We love you so much!

See you back here in a bit!
