We are in...


Minnesota!

Many of you guessed the correct state at one point or another.
1. Aunty Jodi and Uncle Steve
2. Uncle Tom
3. Tommy and Sandy
4. Aunt Addi
5. Aunty Lisa

We did not go to Canada, even though I feel like we are since their flags can be seen EVERYWHERE!

So the winner is...

AUNTY LISA with her guess, "will go with Grand Ely Lodge in Ely Minnesota."

Runner up is Tommy and Sandy because they were the first to guess the city we are honeymooning, "in Ely MN, near boundry waters."

The Grand Ely Lodge in Ely Minnesota is the perfect location for us! Beautiful sights, filled with outdoorsy activities and many awesome local shops and cafes. The resort itself is beautiful with the most amazing restaurant located inside (we've eaten there 3 times!!). We are pretty wiped out today. I think the lack of sleep we both encountered over the last two weeks has finally caught up with us. I slept for about three hours this afternoon and Ben is going on hour two. We needed to catch up on sleep and we figured our honeymoon was as good of time as any!

Keep checking the blog for updates on our honeymoon and post-wedding things, including pictures!

Thanks for playing the honeymoon game! Aunty Lisa, Tommy & Sandy - keep your eyes open for a prize being sent your way in about a week! :)

Love you all!
Mr. and Mrs. H

The LAST Clues!

We've decided we've agitated you all enough and we will be telling you where we are... tomorrow!

We will say this, someone has found us! They know EXACTLY where we are!

Here are a few more clues:
1. We were 2 feet away from 6 wolves today.
2. We are in the hometown of a famous conservationist. (one of the reasons Ben choose this place!)
3. We found our first two geocaches. Our username at geocaching.com is Journey612 but I'm not sure if that will help you find us. We are new to this after all!

Check back in tomorrow for the BIG REVEAL!!

Marriage and Honeymoon!


We are married!!

Jessica Hannink here with an update from the couple! :)

We turned in our wedding license today and it felt like a huge weight off our chests to have that turned in without a hitch. We also went through our cards last night and still can't get over how gracious everyone is and what amazing friends and family we have. We are in awe of how blessed we are!

We also had quite the fun time reading our guest book mad libs! Some were really heart warming while others had us crying with laughter!

A few pictures are showing up online and I can't wait to see the rest. From the pictures I've seen so far, this one is my favorite! :) Thanks Taj for taking such a fun picture!


We currently are sitting in our hotel room in our undisclosed location. We got quite the surprise when we found out that they upgraded our room (for free of course) and it now includes a jacuzzi in the room! They also greeted us with a sign and basket filled with goodies; etched wine glasses, local root beer, candle, and picture frame. It left us speechless and the ladies found our lack of communication quite humorous. We also have a nice porch outside our sliding door and there are picnic table located right outside along with some Adirondack chairs perfect for reading and relaxing!

Want to know where we are!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Here are a few clues!
We'll give three each day and if you think you've figured it out, let us know. :)

1. We are about 400 miles from Marquette.
2. Canoes are a very integral part of this area.
3. Moose, bears, ospreys and bald eagles can often be found roaming the land.

Come back tomorrow for more clues!

Ben picked a perfect spot for our honeymoon and I couldn't be happier. The resort is spectacular (more amazing than Ben imagined!). There are plenty of things to do if we want both indoors and outdoors! I wish we could stay longer! :)
