Costa Rica. Amazing Place.

It’s been just under three weeks since the husband and I got back from our incredible honeymoon overseas in Mexico and Costa Rica. Now, Costa Rica. Let me tell you. It is the most beautiful, green place, filled with wildlife and friendly people. I highly recommend you add it to the Bucket List.

The best thing of all? IT HAS SLOTHS. LOTS OF SLOTHS. I got to see wild sloths. Baby sloths. Sloths eating. Sloths sleeping. Sloths climbing. Three-toed sloths. Two-toed sloths. I am so, so happy. Talk about dreams coming true.

This little coconut was poking its head up at us when we visited The Toucan Rescue Ranch in Heredia. I cried. I’m not ashamed to admit it.

Husband and Sloth

Yesterday the boy and I got MARRIED. Yikes! It was the most incredible day. And our cake topper was sloths.

Now on to the honeymoon… in Costa Rica. This is going to be epic.

Here comes the sloth

This weekend I had my hen’s night and bridal shower! Beautiful days organised by beautiful ladies. Feel very lucky and very special. My bridesmaid organised personalised tattoos for the girls on the hen’s night, including sloth tats! And my Mum dressed up my Otaku Mode sloths as a bride and groom! Wonderful weekend. Screen Shot 2017-04-02 at 7.52.15 PM Screen Shot 2017-04-02 at 7.53.03 PM

4 weeks to go…!

So, the other thing that has kept me busy this last year, is that I am GETTING MARRIED. Last year, the Boy proposed, and we have been planning our wedding for in just under a month!!

It’s very exciting, and nerve-wracking, and a little stressful, but I just can’t wait! This little loved-up sloth is getting hitched!

Back to work…

I spent the last 4 days at a conference. Work, yes, but in a beautiful coastal town in country Victoria, Australia. Did manage to fit in a little beach time! Back to work today AND… it was tough.

A (brief) hiatus

I’mmmm baaaaack!

After a brief hiatus (okay, maybe 9 months isn’t THAT brief) I’m back and ready to sloth blog my way to the rainforest.

Gah, sorry all.

I began post-doctoral work back in August 2015 and I just got busier, and busier, and the posts started slowing down, and eventually it got to a point where it was hard to come back. But the last couple of months I’ve seen a little explosion of sloth love in social media etc and realised how much I missed this!

No promises, but I am gunna try REAL HARD to be more prolific here!

Thanks for keeping with me :)aamilnesloth
