MEXICAN PHARMACIST

When we were in Mexico on our Honeymoon, we rented a scooter and drove all over the island of Cozumel. We were driving down a street and saw this little pharmacist guy in front of his pharmacy. It was so hilarious we had to stop and pull over and take a video. Too bad they dont have these here!

A WONDERFUL SURPRISE

I was at home this morning and I got a phone call from Tiffany.  She said that they were down in St George and she wanted to know if I wanted to see my little guys.  So I was so excited!  We met at a park and played on the swings and all around the park.  Apparently, Caden had been wanting to come to St George to see Aunt Kara for a couple weeks now.  He told me all about how he saw Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse at disneyland. Little Eric just smiled and grinned the whole time they were there.  What a cute little guy.  I was so glad they called me!  It made my day. Thanks Tiffany!

HELLO LAKE!

It was the first day at the lake for the summer!  We took the boat out and it did not work very well.  We still had a ton of fun.  We took along some of Davey's friends Doug and Elliot.  They all jumped in the water and I was such a wuss cuz it was SO COLD! I think I will wait til it warms up a smidge.  I am so excited for a super fun summer!

OUR HONEYMOON!

So I think we had the funnest honeymoon ever.  We were able to take a 6 day cruise to the caribbean.  Here is the map to where we cruised.

We left on a Sunday evening and flew til morning.  Our ship departed florida monday evening and we cruised until the next saturday morning.  Let me tell you, if you do not want to plan a vacation and want people to wait on you hand and foot this is the vacation to go on.  Cruises are so much fun.

The first 2 days we were at sea.  We swam, we ate, we went to shows, we were in shows, we ate some more (i think we both gained a few pounds), we explored the ship, then you guessed it...we ate some more. Here are some pictures we took on the ship.

This is me in the battle of the sexes gameshow they had one of the nights.

This is one of the pools we swam in one day.  This is my hot sexy husband!

So i guess on a cruise, every night your room cleaner people make your towels into different animals.  So I took pictures of them all.  They are very creative.

The third day we docked at Georgetown in the Grand Cayman Islands.  I really wanted to go play with the stingrays.  We had not planned any shore excursions because they were so expensive but as soon as you walk off the ship, you are bombarded by people that want to take you places for cheap, so we hopped in a van and they drove us to a ferry where we got on and ferried out to where you can play with stingrays.  It was so cool!  There were so many of them.  So we each got to hold them and play with them.  If you rub their bellies, they cuddle up to you.  They are surpisingly very calm things unless you step on their tails or something or threaten them.   These people also let us feed them.  So I got a picture of David feeding one. It sucked so hard on him that it left a little red mark.  We also went snorkeling.  I saw a big yellow eel inbetween  some rock and there were lots of colorful fish we could see. 

It was so beautiful there.  I would love to go back someday. 

The next day we docked in Cozumel, Mexico.  The water there was extremely clear. It looked like a swimming pool. It was so pretty there. We walked around and looked at all the shops and bought souveniers then we rented a scooter and drove around the island.  We wanted to see some ancient mayan ruins so we hopped on and started driving.  We sort of got lost and somehow made it to the other side of the island where we found a "naked beach."  We did not see any naked people so we weren't sure if it was a joke or for real.  We stopped to eat for some authentic mexican food and it was so worth it. It was so so good! 

We finally found the ruins and they were small yet pretty cool.

There were iguanas all over Grand Caymans and Mexico.  They were all various sizes.  It was cool to see them everywhere!

After we saw the ruins, we drove back into town and walked around the little shops again and played in the ocean for a minute before we had to return back to the ship.  The water was amazing! 

The next 2 days were at sea again on our way back to Florida.  We think we drank or ate something bad because we were sick the last day of the cruise.  We were sad to see the cruise end but glad to get back to reality.  It was so much fun and we made so many friends.  Dinners were fun because they had put all the honeymooners at one table.  There were 5 couple including us that had all gotten married on May 15.  So it was fun to learn about them and how they met and hear all about their weddings.  We were so thankful to have the opportunity to go on this fun cruise. 

JUNE 1999

So as I am sitting here at home jobless, I think back at how much I miss my awesome job at Orchard Drug. I started in June 1999 and pretty much have been there ever since. It was my home and they were my family. So sad! I was so touched that on my last day, Sherry got me some balloons and posted signs all over. I cried. I think Dale was the best boss I have ever had. He was more like my grandpa than anything.  He was always watched out for me and would do anything for me. Maybe Orchard Drug would consider relocating :)

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS

Engagement photos were so fun!  To save some money, we had Davids sisters take the pictures. HIs sister Angie was so awesome to help pose us and be our lovely photographer.  We had to try really hard to get David to smile.  He thinks he looks cheesy when he smiles when really, he looks very very good!  It was so much fun to walk around and have our pictures taken together.  Thanks to Angie for following us around all day!  They look great on the invitations that Kalina created for us.

I'M ENGAGED!!!

The day was March 14, 2010. It was a beautiful sunday morning.  The sun was out, the birds were singing and there was love in the air.  David came in to wake me up and he wanted to show me a waterfall he had found.  He was so excited for me to see it.  So we started off for the waterfall in our pajamas.  We had to take the truck because it was a little bit of a rocky road.  We got stuck half way up.  He was SO upset!  I had no idea of the events that were to transpire.  So we finally make it to the falls and they were beautiful!  We were walking around looking at them when I turned around and David was on one knee.  I was thinking to myself "what is he doing? is he tying his shoe?"  So then I looked and in his other hand was the ring!  The beautiful sparkle that would lay upon my finger.  He then said those blessed amazing 4 words every girl dreams of. "Will you marry me?"  After what seemed like a year of just staring at him with my jaw dropped to the ground, I said "YES!!!"  Then like a true girl, I cried.  It was the absolute most cutest most romantic moment in my life.  I am so excited to share the rest of my life with my best friend and true love. :)
