So, Matt and I picked up a few things while we were on our honeymoon. Above you see a glimpse of our shopping, in no particular order.
We wanted something kind of quirky from Destin, and we found the wire surfer sculptures. We decided that fit the bill, and home it came with us. :) We also got a Florida magnet for our refrigerator, 2 Florida t-shirts (can you guess who picked which one?), and two GREAT travel cups from Bass Pro Shops (I'd never been--VERY cool store).
You will also see a little red and white church--that was from the Villeroy & Boch outlet. It reminded me of all the little ceramic candle things my mom has at Christmas time, and Matt said his mom has some, too. So it's a piece of home for both of us. We picked that particular one, because the color scheme and hearts also make it appropriate for Valentine's Day. :) Next to the church, you see a spoon rest that matches our everyday dishes. Matt found that and picked it out (also from Villeroy & Boch).
We stopped for a big chocolate chip cookie at a wonderful chocolate boutique. Matt spotted that little mouse, and he REALLY liked it. :) :) It has the happiest little smile, and we thought it would be a fun Fall decoration for when we got home. He is very sweet, although he's awaiting a name. I'm so proud of my husband for picking a stuffed animal. ;) No, he's been great about my little guys. Ox and the pets.com dog get to sit on our bed all day (they are gently removed at night), and he often makes the dog talk to me (Hang on, Dino, we're coming hoooooooome!!!).
Lastly, there are some wooden carved things. My parents have this crazy wooden bird, TJ. And I think Brad and Joy got a wooden hippo or something, so we knew we HAD to find something wooden and carved. God provided!! We got this great ocean bird (an egret, maybe?), and then Matt picked the sting ray, and I picked the sand dollar. They are so pretty and EXACTLY what we were looking for. :)
We had a WONDERFUL time on our honeymoon, and we're so thankful to have these fun reminders of our vacation. :)

For the t-shirts, we're guessing Becca's is on the left and Matt's is on the right.
Well, it's a trick question... at some point, we each had picked out the red one.. then we figured out we wore the same size, so they're both both of ours! But as I recall, Brad and Joy, you are correct in the final technical analysis (Matt now renegs and says he picked the gray one, but that's not how I remember it. :) So, we say we both picked both). :)
