If you've never been on a cruise, then know they are never boring! They always have activities going on, especially on days we are out at sea. One thing we frequently visited was karaoke night because Grey and Will turned out to be microphone hogs :)...sadly Will made me promise not to post any videos or pictures....Tea time (with awesome desserts) also became a favorite as well as the musicals and stand up comedy shows they put on. Will and I went to an art show and bought our first piece of art together. They also had fun classes such as learning how to fold the towel animals that are put in your room every night. And of course we can't forget the pool or the awesome water slides that this cruise had :)
Last week Will and I went on a cruise for our vacation! Will and I had been in cahoots with Becky and Grey to do a big friends vacation before we all settle down and start having kids (no we don't have one on the way but they do!) and also in an effort to keep long distance friendships going. It was so much fun and I hope we can do more in the future. I will try not to overwhelm this post with pics but its hard to describe how beautiful everything is without them.

The first one stopped at Nassau. Will's company got us free tickets to Atlantis (very thankful for that because that excursion cost almost $200 a person). Atlantis is an extravagant tourist trap at Nassau that includes beaches, a water park, an aquarium and the hotels and casinos that surround them. We spent most of our time at the water park and caught some sun :) The other port was a tiny private island called Little Stirrup Cay or Coco Cay depending on who you ask. Sadly the coffee on the cruise is horrible so by the time this day rolled around, the lack of caffeine and the heat gave me an awful headache so we didn't stay on the Island long but it was gorgeous! The only sad thing is that the week flew by too quickly! Anyways, that was our cruise in a nutshell!

I know, I know its been awhile since I have updated anything...oh well I'm doing it now. Better late than never, right? One of the more fun updates that we have is that Will and I have joined a dance studio! We have been going for a few months and we are working on our tango, waltz and cha-cha. Its been a fun way for us to spend time together. With all three we are going through a bronze program, which means that we are past the basics but if we were to enter into a competition, we would be in the bottom rung of competitors. A fun thing about our studio is that occasionally they will do themed parties that we can get dressed up for. They recently had a Great Gatsby themed party and our costumes won first prize! I'm proud of that one because I didn't buy a single thing for either of our costumes, I just rummaged in our closet until I found stuff to use. One of the interesting things about Will's job is that he has to travel for conferences occasionally. If he flies, then it's usually cost prohibitive for me to go because we can't reimburse a plane ticket for me. However, if he is driving I generally get to tag along with him. So far this year we both got to go to AZ (I bought a plane ticket on that one so I could see family) and later on in April we got to go down to Florida. Both conferences were at 5 diamond resorts...crazy huh? Never thought I would stay in one of those. For the first one, I was severely under dressed because I mostly brought tshirts and jeans....but I learned my lesson and I will be packing at least nicer casual outfits for future conferences, just in case. How's the job hunt for me? I'm glad you asked...It stinks. I had a couple of interviews but they didn't go anywhere. Now there aren't even any interesting job listings. I'm revisiting the idea of starting an online graphic design type company and selling products on etsy...we shall see :) Our garden is still growing! We now have 8 bell peppers that are at least an inch wide, our kale plant is large enough for one salad, our tomato plant is about a foot and a half tall, and our avacado seed finally has roots(it was the first thing I planted but didn't do anything for months)!!! Since I have time at home, I've spent a lot of time crafting. Right now I am currently trying to sew a cute but modest bathing suit. If its not a fail, I'll post pictures when I'm done. Today I also saved a thrifted bubble dress and turned it into a slightly more elegant a-line. I don't know what body type bubble dresses are supposed to flatter but I know they do not flatter my type. Another recent project has been to make my own laundry detergent...saw this project on pinterest and it's awesome! I probably have a years supply, it did not cost much to make and it cleans clothes really well. I've also been working really hard to lose weight and its paying off! I've lost about 12 pounds this summer....go me! We also had the joy of spending the 4th of July weekend with Will's brother and his family...sadly the rain kept us from doing too much but we did get to go to 6 flags with them. I'm starting to feel a little to old to get on roller coasters, but we still had fun and it was good to spend time with some familiar faces. There's a lot to tell since it's been awhile since I've updated this thing but I will bore you (if I haven't already) if I keep going on....so until next time :)
