Well, I found out today that my car needs a new timing belt. Apparently, a car needs to have their timing belt replaced every 105,000 miles. Because I commute so much, I am already at 104, 600 miles. Hence, the need for the new belt. Alas, a timing belt will run me approximately $750. And it's not like I can just skip it and hope for the best. If a timing belt breaks, replacing it is no longer an option; instead, you have to replace the engine. So, after the holidays. I will be getting a new timing belt.
What does this have to do with the title of this blog? In order to pay for this car maintainence, I have to cancel our honeymoon. I'm sad about that. I was looking forward to Cliff and I going somewhere to relax and try out new activities and new foods. I have really only bee to Mexico on little afternoon visits (ports on a cruise), sot his was going to give us a chance to see more of the culture and natural sites. I am disappointed and I know I will always regret not taking a honeymoon, but there isn't anything to be done about it. What we will probably do is take a weekend trip after the wedding and then plan a bigger trip in a couple years.
So, that's my update. Somehow I don't think I will enjoy my car as I would have our honeymoon.

I think you can still take a very nice honeymoon, just need to plan something a lttle less expensive. Save that trip to celebrate your
5th Wedding Anniversary.
I agree with Kim. You are so creative, I am sure you can come up with something even better than what you were planning. The main thing is that you two will be married and sharing your life together and creating memories that will last you a lifetime. Where you make your memories isn't as important as is the fact that you get to make them together. Love conquers all!
