Cruise Day 5

On day 5 we landed in St. Martin on a gorgeous day! We started by shopping at the local stores to see if we could get any goodies. This was our only day that we actually had time to souvenir shop, so we took full advantage of it! In order to get into town we had to take a water taxi:



After shopping we went back to the ship to grab our suits! We then headed to the French side of the island to visit Orient beach. We had heard many stories about this beach...if you don't know, you need to look it up! Surprisingly at first we were pleasantly surprised because everyone had suits on! Below is a picture of where we had lunch:


Then we tried to go snorkeling because there was supposed to be a lot of fish here....but no fishies! We looked for a while but we only spotted a few zebra fish. When we moved to a 'better' snorkeling spot we COMPLETELY understood the stories about this beach then! OH MY! We quickly walked out of there and went to the beach closer to the ship. I must say...one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Turquoise water, sunny days, and tropical fish made the island hopping so fun!



We were a little sad to leave because this was our last stop on our vacation, the next two days were spent on the boat coming home. More to come soon! :)

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I  am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...

Early Christmas

  My family celebrated Christmas a little early this year. Because of Katie's chemo schedule her white blood cell levels would be too low on Christmas week, so we celebrated the weekend before. We first went to a restaurant named Gravy in downtown Raleigh.     We got some delicious Italian food!   Unfortunately Hunter couldn't join us for dinner because he had to work that night...so we went to visit him! When we got home the sisters went to the best decorated house in Cary for our annual 'light show'.   Next came the annual tradition of Christmas pjs.             We then opened presents from Katie, Wil, and my parents.       We finished off our Christmas celebration with some lunch that my dad made.     I especially love this time of year because of the wonderful time we get to spend with family celebrating the birth of ou...

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....
