Whats New?
First off, I was reading through my blog and noticed that the last time I told you my major and minor and said I would never change it, I changed it. Thats probably not news to you since I never can make decisions, but My major is English Ed. and my minor is biology so it didn't change too much!
Second, Summer is at BYU-I with me :). It has really been so good to have her here with me. I think that maybe its a little TOO good since we never seem to get anything done and just watch LA ink or Once Upon a Time. Her roommates are all a little closer to my age, but they have really become attached to her haha. They won't even let her leave the apartment anymore because they want to spend more time with her.
Third, I quit my job! I love Chick-fil-A, but it was time to take a break and really focus on graduating from college. I have been in Rexburg since 2008 so I am MORE than ready to get out of here and poor Andy is ready too. He only has one more semester left and I have 2 .
Fourth, Andy bought us a kitty!! For our one year anniversary he surprised me with a super cute calico tabby. She is six months old and we named her Luca, after my favorite song from Brand New. She has so many weird little quirks,but it just makes her that much more awesome.
An Adventure Waiting to Happen...
Andy and I have decided to move into Stonebrook in the winter (january) with the great and marvelous Joe Allen. He has been a really good friend to us for a while now and in order to save money for the both of us we are getting a 3 bedroom apt. and Joe will be living in one of those 3 rooms. I have to say that at first I felt kind of weird about it.... But now I think that it really is going to be really awesome. I can't wait for the adventure of winter semester to start! He better love Luca by then.
Still Happily Ever...
I hope that you will be pleased to hear that Andy and I are still doing so awesome! We are just as in-love as the day we got married, and our family is starting to grow just a little bit more with Luca here. We are still not planning on any kids for a couple of years, but I will keep you updated if anything unplanned happen... Heavens knows I don't need any surprise children coming sooner than I can handle them. Recently to celebrate our first year together we went on a cruise with my family on the Carnival Magic out of Galveston to Honduras, Belize, and Cozumel.
Honduras
In Honduras we went zip lining through the jungle! It took us 30 minutes to get all the way down the jungle. I may have been a little more than terrified, but I'm glad we did it! Most of the mexicans there either tried to talk to me in spanish or would flirt with me in broken english. Umm no thanks, even if I wasn't married I would prefer to be able to have a conversation with my husband without having to look a spanish english dictionary. We landed in a Pirate themed park and got to hold giant parrot looking things and monkeys!! I wore my hair in a side ponytail that day and it was quite curly in all the humidity so the monkeys were fascinated with it. They kept sticking their heads through it to see if there was anything inside. They stole poor keeka's headband and broke in on a tree branch.
Belize
Belize was a little crazy I guess and not safe for americans so we had to dock in the middle of the ocean! But it was still awesome because we went snorkling on the second largest reef in the world. I'll be honest it was a really cool experience, but we never saw any exoctic fish or sea creatures so it was a little sub par for an experienced snorkler like me ;) haha jk. It really was awesome but if you are going to snorkel you should do it in Cozumel or Hawaii.
Cozumel, Mexico
This was my third time being in Cozumel, but I always love it just as much as every other time. This time though was especially awesome because we got to swim inside a cave in an underground river.
It was pretty fascinating to be inside the earth like this and it was a really spiritual experience for the Mayans. Before we walked in we got a blessing from this medicine man and then when we came out at the other end we had a "rebirth" from being in the underworld and rising back up onto the earth.
Over all this trip was pretty epic! We learned how to play black jack like the pros, had lots of non-alcoholic margarita's and fuzzy navals, karaoked, ziplined, snorkled, swam underground, and became even closer as a family.
For now Andy still works at Olive Garden, and is going to school. I am just trying to catch up on school so we can finally get out of here. Luca is adjusting to her new home quite nicely :). Catch y'all later!!
