Catch-up

Third term, most stressful term this year, is finally over! I can resume my normal life again!! Here's what happened while I was MIA.

1) Amy and Garrett tied the knot. It has been 1 month and 3 days since they got married. Time flies!! It was beautiful day filled with lots of family, smiles and laughter. Amy looked beautiful and was absolutely glowing. Garrett didn't look that bad either :) I couldn't be happier for them although it's still weird to me sometimes to think that Amy is MARRIED!! AHH!! Here's some pictures taken by my uncle (we haven't got the official ones yet)

2) Our family went on a CRUISE!! Well when I say family, I mean my mom, dad, Katie, Emily, and I. Amy and Garrett can't take off any more time from work and Thomas chose to stay behind for a school play he had a lead it (crazy right??) Here's all 5 of us on the formal night.


We were gone 8 days on the cruise, plus 2 spent in Las Vegas with the grandparents, for a 10 day vacation. It was heaven! It was warm and sunny everyday. The sun starting setting as we were leaving the port of Los Angeles was picture perfect.


We got to stop in Cabo San Lucas for two days and Puerto Vallarta for one. In Cabo we went snorkeling, enjoyed the beach, went shopping, rode in a glass bottom boat, and ate at an authentic taco stand (only my dad and I were brave enough to actually eat the tacos).






Then in Puerto Vallarta we went hiking up to a waterfall, rode the crazy busses, and visited El Eden. El Eden is where the Predator was filmed. The site was then turned into a restaurant built right into the side of a water hole. There was natural rock water slides, a rope swing, and a zip line. It was super fun!






The days we spent on the cruise ship were filled with sun bathing, swimming, going to the amazing/ hilarious shows, trivia challenges, eating a lot, playing games, and just relaxing.






It was an amazing vacation and cruising is definitely the way to travel if you like to sit back and relaxing and let everyone take care of you. It was wonderful :) Here is one last picture of our ship, the Star. She was huge!

3) Wade, my cousin, left on his mission! He is the cousin closest to my age and one of my best friends. It was hard to say goodbye but I am so excited for him. He has so much ahead of him and he's going to be a great missionary. Hopefully the two years will go by quickly.


Its been a fun and very full past month :) Just the way I like it!
