Cruise

In October Bodie and I went on a cruise with his sister Alex and her husband Jeremy and their friends Josh and Crystal. It was so much fun!! We went out of Miami and we went to Cozumel, Mexico; Grand Caymans and Jamaica. It was so beautiful. We had a great time. It was fun watching Bodie experience things for the first time; like swimming with sting rays in Grand Cayman so cool! It was fun being in a group. We had so much fun on each of our stops and we partied every night. :) We sang karaoke and Bodie and Jeremy even got hypnotized-that was quite the show. I'm glad we could go with Alex and Jeremy before they have their baby-I guess they call these kinds of trips babymoons! Well we first went to Cozumel. We went to the Mayan Ruins-Tulum, it was incredible. We had a Mormon guide and he told us some really interesting things. It was so cool to see all the ruins and imagining the people that once lived there. It was so hot- we were sweating like crazy. Then beneath the ruins there is a private beach and so we took a dip in the ocean, it was so nice. It was fun to talky spanish with everyone. Next we went to Grand Caymans, that is probably one of my favorite places in the world. The water is so blue and it is such a beautiful island. We got to go swimming with Sting Rays and we even got to feed them! It was really scary at first because they are not afraid of you at all so they just get all over you. We loved it. Then we got to go snorkeling- the fish were so cool looking. We got dropped off at the beach and it was so much fun swimming in the ocean especially when the rain started coming down really hard. So fun. Our last stop was Jamaica. We went to the Dunns Falls and we hiked up a waterfall-it is so beautiful. Then we got to eat some local food-it was way good! We had a great time. It was nice to get away and just spend time together. We loved it!

Updates, updates, updates

Well it's about time...time for some updates!! And there are still more to come.

Romantic Birthday Night

So Bodie and I went and celebrated my Birthday the weekend after I got home from Atlanta. We had a plan to go to this dinner and cowboy show in Pleasant Grove so we drove all the way out there and then found out they had moved the show to Park City! We were way bummed so we went to our favorite place, Ruby River instead. Anytime we want to celebrate we go there. We also went to the batting cages, which is something we haven't ever done together. And then we went to a movie. It was the perfect night, just how I wanted to celebrate my day with my Bodie.

To celebrate my Birthday when I got home from Atlanata, I went shooting with my Mom and Bodie. We had a great time. It was so hot out there though, it felt like it was the middle of July. We saw a few jack rabbits so that was exciting. It was a good time.

My Birthday

Hooray for me I turned the big 2-5!! This year I was in Atlanta for work and so I couldn't be with my Bodie and family. It was hard, but everyone was so great to me that it turned out okay. I realized something this year, I don't always have to wear PINK on my birthday that it is okay to branch out. And this year I really did feel like the Birthday queen. I had gone shopping a few times trying to find my Birthday outfit, a few times I had gone to Target and really liked this dress but really didn't like the price. So the day before my big day I went back to Target and decided to just get it because it was my DAY!! Well I searched everywhere and couldn't find my dress but then...I found it on the sale rack and it wa 50% off! That was Birthday luck. So I wore my new dress and I felt great! Well it was really sweet, a couple of the girls made me a birthday banner and had everyone sing when I walked into our classroom. It was so nice. What's even better is that earlier that day we were told we didn't have to come to class until later because there were severe floods, awesome! Not awesome about the floods but awesome that I got to sleep in on my Birthday. Later that night the Company took us all out to dinner and it was fabulous. So all in all it was a pretty good Birthday.

It's my Birthday

Welcome to Atlanta

Shortly after I was promoted I was shipped off to Atlanta for 10 days for a job training. As you can tell from my previous posting I'm EXHAUSTED it was a pretty intense training. I learned so much. It was difficult being in a classroom all day watching Powepoint presentations but I was able to get through it. I met some great people from all over the country even my birth place New Jersey. I was able to see Atlanta a little bit and do what I love...shopping and going to the movies! It was hard being away for my birthday but it wasn't too bad.
