First "home"

Looking for a place to live is a big deal... and a big pain!! When we found a casita for rent we thought it would be so much fun... now it is just a bit too small!! We are hoping to move soon. But, we have had fun here and it was a good little first home!!





 This is where we eat... We feel like 3 year olds because the chairs are so low and we can barely see our food haha!

 My enormous kitchen... I feel like i can't cook anything!!! No oven, no stove top :( besides my little plug in. But we make it work!
 These are my favorite house decoration. They are the flowers from our wedding cake and I love them!!
 I didn't realize this picture was so blurry... but yes, that is pretty much the whole house!! haha. 
 And I wanted to show you this picture to remind you all again how much I love beans and chips. Yes, I still eat them all the time. YUM!

The Honeymoon

Back in January, my mom called me and Taylor to come home now. Right then. Soon. Taylor wasn't very happy. There was a Jazz game on. But we went. And guess what she tells us... that she has won a cruise from one of her business parties. And she was giving it to us for our honeymoon. WHAT?? Are you kidding me?!? We were so excited! Free cruise to Mexico! It couldn't have worked out better. BUT, better yet, we came to find out that our buddies Alex and Tori Hafen had booked the same exact cruise as us! We were so excited to  go with our friends and have us some fun!!! And boy we sure did!!

We started out in California. We all drove down together to Long Beach. We just HAD to stop at the tallest thermometer in the world. I mean, who can pass that up?? We also tried to stop at the Buffalo Bills roller coaster for me and Tori but it wasn't open yet :( :( i've always wanted to ride that dang thing!!! 

 On our way to the Cruise ship!! Someone told us to do a serious face...


Our room!!

 our deck...

Our first din din

They brought out flowers for all the women because it was Mothers Day (oops!) and at the time.... i seriously thought I was going to be a mother! haha!! Who know you could be off by a month and a half and still not be prego :)
 Our waiters brought out cake for us "honeymooners", and sang us a beautiful song to go with it. "Happy honeymoon to you, kissy kissy". To the tune of "Happy Birthday". When they said kissy kissy, they really meant kissy kissy!!! We didn't realize that, and by the time we did, we were laughing too hard to even try. It was so dang funny. Then our waiter did the most hilarious finger movement that I really wish i could explain/show. But i just can't.
Our first day at sea... we got a little bored.


The boys decided to play some basketball game


 The first elegant night
comedy show
I posted this picture because maybe Alex just looks awesome in the background

Day two in Cabo

Lovers Beach


 Divorce beach. The waves were so cool!!







dinner once again

my delicious peach soup


This is where our lovely fellow cruise mate fell and smacked her nose right on the ledge on which we are sitting now. At the time, we were sitting in those chairs to the right. She did not catch her fall at all. She had lots of people to help around her though. It was very sad/gruesome, but we ended up getting a chuckle out of it. So we took a picture to remember our event.
late night pizza run!

Day four: Peurto Villarta 



 On our way to go Zip Lining!! We had SUCH a blast! We weren't allowed to take pictures while zip lining, but it was seriously so fun. We couldn't stop laughing.






 What a feast

Predator in the background! haha
later that night...
 at the comedian
 the DELICIOUS warm chocolate melting cake me and Tori got every single night
Every night they would have animals on our bed for us!



Overall, we had a BLAST on our cruise!! Sorry this post was terribly long. I should have thought it through better! It was so nice to go on a cruise because they do everything for you. We could completely relax and do whatever we wanted. We even had room service! I mean seriously, that rocks!

This was our last night on the cruise


 this was on our bed the last night
bye bye cruise! You treated us well!
