Dan's getting married

I'm so proud of Dan taking this step. Yup, he finally did it. He got married. I love Allyx and she is so perfect for him. They are so cute together.

One thing that I regret is that I wasn't able to make it to his wedding. I feel so bad for not being able to share this time with family. I felt left out. I enjoyed looking at all the pictures that were taken and they were all so beautiful. I'll be able to see Dan and Allyx when they have their reception here in Idaho.

Our Cruise




Mike and I went on a cruise in April as a part of our honeymoon. We weren't able to go in December since everything happened so fast. We had two stops; one in Cozumel and the other in _______. In Cozumel we had to find a taxi to get to the mainland. The unfortunate thing is that we couldn't speak Spanish and we were lucky to meet a couple that knew the language. We went to the beach but had to pay to swim in certain parts. We refused to pay at first and they were ready to kick us off. We finally gave in since we didn't know what else we would do. The part that we paid for we had a swimming pool that wasn't full of salt water. That was better for Mike since he has such sensitive skin. After the beach we found another taxi that took us to the ruins. We thought that they would be a little different than what they were. We found some lizards along the way that frankly just scared me.

The next day a bus was provided for us to take us to the shops. We shopped around and tried to haggle everyone. There was one lady that just wouldn't budge. We asked and asked and asked. We left since we knew we wouldn't get our way. We thought that we would try one more time. Still she told us no. We thought that she was funny and had to take a picture with her. After we just walked around the city but didn't stay too long. It was way too hot and Mike was starting to get sun burnt.

Being on the ship was fun. They had a lot of activities for us to do. Our favorite part was the formal dinners. We could order anything that we wanted and however much we wanted. Our waitors made us feel like royalty. They would have us do certain things during dinner to make it more entertaining.

We joined a lot of activities like the bean bag toss, country dancing, karoke, etc. We would go the late night shows. Karoke was the funniest since everyone was drunk. There was this one gal that would get involved in everything. She was so funny and so energetic. I couldn't believe some of the things that she would do. Although, right now I can't think of any examples.
