Honeymoon

David and I flew into San Jose, Costa Rica on March 12.  We spent the night at a Hampton Inn near the airport since we got in around 9.  The next morning a shuttle picked us up to take us to our resort.  The shuttle took about 4 hours, but we were able to see a lot of the country.  Check-in at the resort wasn't until 3 and we got there at 11 so we had to wait awhile before going to our room.  We sat at a lot of bars and ate snacks until we finally got to go in our suite at 2 pm.  The suite is awesome.  It has a big patio where we can sit outside, free internet  (clearly), a rain shower, jacuzzi tub, a tiny living room area and a huge bed.  We received complimentary champagne and fruit to enjoy.  The beach is not exactly how David pictured it would be, but it is a beach so we are not complaining.  I will try to take some picture of the view from our resort to the ocean, and then of the beach itself.  I'll also snap a picture of the pool area too since it is rockin'.  We didn't realize our resort has this schedule of activities that anyone can participate in such as archery and rifle shooting, kayaking or snorkeling tour, sunset walks, sushi and cocktail workshops, yoga, and much more. We plan on doing nothing today except relaxing on the beach and near the pool.  Don't worry,  we will wear tons of sunscreen.  There are animals, birds, and lizards wandering all around the resort's grounds.  One type of animal looks kind of like a big possum, but they remind us of Puddles with a long tail so we have named them Puddles 2 in her honor. Tomorrow or Wednesday we will be taking an excursion to the rainforest to hike and take a lot of pictures!  I'll keep you posted....

Cruisin'

Well I've been a bit out of touch for the last several days, but the cruise has been fun!  The first 2 days were pretty cold and windy.  Since they were just days at sea, we found ourselves pretty sleepy and looking for more to do.  Yesterday we got to go to Montego Bay, Jamaica.  It was pretty rundown, but our zip lining excursion was a lot of fun!  We got to see beautiful trees, bamboo, fruits, rivers, and kitty cats.  We all just wish it lasted longer.  After the zip lining, we all enjoyed a Red Stripe and laughed at the funny pictures that were taken along the way.

 

Today, we went to Grand Cayman.  Wow, I have never seen water so blue.  After a bus ride and a couple of boat rides, we all got to swim with sting rays.  Each of us held and got a kiss from the huge rays.  After the sting rays, we were able to relax on Rum Point Beach (with some excellent rum drinks I might add...) and enjoy some lunch.  David and I had just enough time to buy a shot glass and a keychain before boarding the bus/boats to take us back to the ship.  We relaxed in the sun for a while until the ship launched. 

 

Tomorrow we are going to Cozumel.  David and Bret will be golfing, while the ladies relax on some beach. 

 

The food has been pretty good, but I'm sure we have all eaten way more than our share.  Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the break for the holidays.  How's Puddles doing????

Yay for break!

Today was my last day of school before winter break. I have been looking forward to this day for the past month. I've been completely stressed this year and I never feel like I catch up. Plus, I'm planning a wedding on top of all that. This break will be a blessing. We are going to go to Plano and hang out there for a week, and then it's CRUISE TIME! David's family and I are going on a cruise to Montego Bay, Jamaica, Grand Cayman Islands, and Cozumel, Mexico. The boat leaves from Galveston the day after Christmas and doesn't return until a week later! It's gonna be one fun break!!

It's been a loooooong time!

I finally made a wedding website! I hope most of you have already seen it, but if not here's the site... Don't forget to sign the guestbook!

Prayer Request

For those of you who don't know, David's father passed away last Thursday. It has been one of the most emotional weeks of our lives. His family is doing amazingly well, but please keep them in your prayers! Thank you for your support and love.

Wall cloud?

This is one of the views David and I saw when we were driving home from Plano to Austin on Sunday. Literally a wall cloud separating dark from light. Creepy, but cool....

Congratulations are in order...

Yay! Zeb graduated! You think we would have remembered to make a sign so it would be easier for Zeb to find us in the stands, but we didn't. After 6 graduations, we STILL did not remember to make one. Luckily, Zeb was the smart one because she decorated her graduation cap with the name of the school where she got a job for next year. It was super cute and in UNT colors. She was always the creative one!!
