It's been a long time!

I wish I had some fun pictures to put up with this post, but I don't :( It has been so long since I've posted anything. Things have been a little busy around here! I started a new job about a month ago and am still trying to get into some kind of routine! I have decided that working out on Friday and Saturday only is NOT cutting it! Everyone knows how much I like to work out and be active, and unfortunately I have to say that I have been a big slacker in that department as of late :( I am starting over this Monday. I am really going to try to get though this P90X business! The guy is so annoying tho! lol! My goal for now is to get through one week. I haven't even done that yet! So, starting Monday I will be waking up at 6:00 or 6:30AM to work out. I have decided that I don't like working out at night because I don't like not washing my hair at night and in the morning. It is just too much, so morning it is! I woke up at 6:30 every day on the mission, I can do it now too!

On another note.. Poor Eric has had quite the week! He's had this cough for about 3 weeks now. The stubborn little bugger won't go away! Also, He had to go to the Dr. yesterday for his immunization stuff for school. He got a tetnis shot, TB test, Blood work and some other shot, so today his arms are REALLY sore AND he doesn't feel good :( He is actually napping at this very moment, which is UNHEARD of! He also has two canker sores, one of which is really big and painful:( And to top everything off he has a hang nail on his finger that is all swollen and irritated. Poor thing! lol! It is kind of funny tho, because it's such a small thing but they hurt so much! To hear him complain about it is a little amusing. This tough guy taken down by the hangnail! lol!

In light of the rain I've decided to make a list of my favorite things (thank you Julie Andrews!)(these are in no specific order)

1. My husband. (Even when he drives me crazy. Lol! Not that it's often :) )
2. Really nice paper. Whether it's drawing paper or patterned it doesn't matter, as long as it has a nice feel, and quality!
3. Pens. But not just any pen! Ones that have a fine tip and good ink flow. Not just the liquid ink, because I like a good ole ball point too :)
4. Snuggling and cuddling
5. Sitting at the beach and watching/ listening to the waves.
6. Sunsets.
7. The Sky.
8. Stars (as in the ones that twinkle at night!)
9. My camera/taking pictures.
10. Painting/ drawing. Whether it's me painting or I'm looking at paintings.
11. Driving down PCH on a nice day with the windows down, sunroof open, blasting some sweet tunes and singing along of course!
12. Hanging out with friends.
13. A good adventure! They are EVERYWHERE! You just have to look for them!
14. Dogs :)
15. Soccer. Watching or Playing.
16. Doing active stuff. Sports, outdoorsy stuff.
17. My Family and memories of my family. Fishing with Steve, Sitting with dad in his music room listening to Phantom or Enya, Baking with mom or singing in the tub, Mike farting in my face... (Steve did too).
18. Stationary stores in Hong Kong
19. The temple.
20. Spiritual moments where Heavenly Father seems to wrap his arms around, or when you just feel the spirit so strongly that you want to jump and dance around like you were Gene Kelly in "Singin' in the Rain".
21. The rain. And singing and dancing in it! Lol
22. Watching a good movie when it's cold outside and you're all cozy and snuggled up in a blanket with the one you love. Or Suggled up in a blanket and WITH those you love!

And of course, I will end there on the best number ever! lol! I was only going to do 20 but I was on a roll! This post is far too long now, so I will leave you with this... What do you love? What makes you happy? Thinking about the things that fill your heart with joy and make your life full will help you remember who you are and how it's the simple things in life that really matter. It keeps you young too! ;) So make a list and post it so we all can see what eachother love!

Pictures

My pictures got cut off :( I'm still trying to figure this thing out!

Caribbean Honeymoon

We just got back from our honeymoon in the Caribbean! It was a week long cruise that stopped in the Grand Cayman Islands, Rotan Honduras, Cozumel Mexico, and Princess Cays (Bahamas). Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate with us, but never the less we had a good time! After all, not having to work, cook, or clean for a week is always great! :) Here are some pictures from our trip.


Here is how it started! LOL! We took a red-eye flight to Fort Lauderdale, FL. We arrived at 5am and didn't get on the ship until 1 or so...

This is how tired we were! But that's ok, because we were on vacation!



The first thing we ate. It quickly became Eric's favorite!

Lucky Lucky! At the "Send off" party they had a raffle, and I won a $25 gift certificate for the flower shop on the boat! I always win ;)

Grand Cayman. Probably one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and it was too cold to get in :( This is also the beach that the Corona commercials are filmed.

On our Grand Cayman tour we went to a turtle farm and were able to hold the turtles!!

This is Hell, both literally and figuratively! Lol! Our Grand Cayman tour stopped at some pretty silly places, this being one of them. This is a town called Hell that is literally a shop and post office, and that's it! I couldn't stop laughing because the tour was so ridiculous.

Rotan. We did a zip-line tour!! It was WAY fun! I highly recommend it to anyone!

We also went snorkeling in Rotan!! It looks cold, but it was surprisingly warm! There were lots of fishies too!!

This is Cozumel! SOOOOO Beautiful! We went on a tour of Maya ruins!!! So up my alley! Eric liked it too! We had an amazing tour guide AND the beach was the MOST beautiful beach I've EVER seen!

Aww :)

Our ship, a Maya mask and La Playa de Carmen! (Mexico)

This is a Jaguar statue made of Onyx. Did you know that Onyx changes color in the light?! It turns gold! The center is the Maya Calender, often confused with the Aztec calendar... The movie "2012" says that the world will end in 12-12-2012 because that's when the Maya calendar ends, but film shows the Aztec calendar! LOL! AND The Maya calendar doesn't end in Dec, it ends in the Spring (I think)... Oh Hollywood!

The first picture is of the Maya ruins. I think the complex is called Tuclum, but I'm not sure. I can't remember :(

Princess Cays

These photos were taken by Eric... Can you guess why?!

We are now, as we are brought to the end of our trip, we find ourselves back where we began!

Pictures from Frisbee Golf

Birthday celebrations!

Last Saturday was my birthday, and Eric and I had a day filled with fun activities! We started the day off with a nice bike ride down to the beach, after which we came home and relaxed for an hour or so. Then we went to El Dorado park and played Frisbee golf (courtesy of Ryan Wilson). Then we went to dinner at Chilli's where I had my favorite tortilla soup and a chocolate volcano mountain with ice cream (which we shared :) )! I took some pictures of us frisbee golfing, but I am too lazy to put them on the computer right now! lol! I will later :)

Well, I have to get my day going! I had to wait for the repair guy to come this morning and do something about the mold that has decided to make a home around ALL of our windows! The windows in our apartment are so crappy and gather so much condensation that water drips off of them and mold starts to grow... I've already cleaned it once, so this time I had them do it! If they're not going to replace my windows then they can come and clean it every time! HA!

So I've decided to cave and make a Blog for Eric and me. Hope my life proves as interesting as all of yours!
