Happy Birthday Lover

Yesterday was Jared's birthday, he turned 28...we're getting so old. He really didn't get the best birthday this year, since we just got back from our cruise two days before. But, we did get to celebrate with the McIntyres, they came over for a BBQ and cake and ice cream before he had to go to work, exciting huh! His birthday was his first day back to work after the cruise, so that just topped it off. Anyways, just wanted to say that I love you, lover, and I hope you had a good day anyways. And thanks for spending the last week with me, I had the best time of my life. I love you!!

Back to Reality

We're back!! We had the best time ever on our cruise! I would highly recommend cruising to anyone. Every day you have new stuff to see and do, you never have to decide where you're gonna eat, and how you're going to get to the things that you want to do.....we had a really great time. We had 3 days at sea and 4 days at different ports. We went to Grand Cayman first, and we snorkeled and swam with the sting rays, Jared loved it, but I wasn't too sure about the whole thing. They were huge and they would just swim all around you and come up to you, it was really creepy. Then we went to the Roatan islands, which are part of Honduras. We went to a nature park, and held monkeys and birds, it was really fun. Then, we went out on a catamaran and snorkeled over the reef, that was really neat. Then we went to Belize, and we took and hour and a half bus ride out to the jungle where they have zip lines and rapelling set up. That was really fun. After visiting roatan and belize, I would never want to send my boys on a mission to these third world countries, it made me so sad to see how they lived, and so thankful for what I have and can do. Our last stop was in Cozumel, which has become very americanized. We went on a 4 wheeler ride out into the jungle, they took us to see some mayan caves, that was cool. We were so busy the whole time that only once did we get to go to a beach, and just hang out for a few hours, but it was worth it. Thanks so much to Grandma and Cristi for coming out and tending, it would've never happened without you guys!! Kyla and Haley had so much fun playing and playing.
