and now...we decompress.

weddings take a lot out of you. 

like a whole lot.

and since mr. lesley and i had heard rumors of post wedding exhaustion, we decided to take a few days to relax before we headed out to mexico to relax some more.

we spent those couple of days...

::hanging out with family and friends at a post wedding brunch::

::meandering through south haven's harbor days with these lovelies::

::watching the sunset::

::leaving our mark on the beach::

::spending quality time with mr. gnome::

::relaxing at our little b&b::

::visiting the world renowned "wolf lake state fish hatchery" and feeding the fishies::

{mr. lesley sure does love his fish.}

::and, of course, visiting bell's::

{i couldn't get enough of the michigan mitten taster.}

relaxation in preparation for relaxation was not an easy task, but we did it.
