Cruise Part 1

My parents planned this cruise for our entire family months ago. We all anxiously waited this vacation… so you can imagine the excitement we had when it was finally time to go! We flew to Florida, stayed the night, then got on the ship the next morning. This was my second time being on a cruse, but a first for a lot of the family, so we had a lot of fun exploring the ship! Every night was usually the same… delightful dinner and dessert, an entertaining show, late night snack and talks, then bed. This trip was seriously amazing.

Traveling with your best friend is the greatest 

Waiting in line to get on the ship… Ky loves her uncle Jesse :) 

 My favorite people. Hands down. 

The first of many wonderful breakfasts :) 

 We had so much fun watching Brent and Jess play dodgeball with all these random strangers. 

Fancy night part 1

You could say he makes me happy...

This night was extra special for two reasons. 1. It was Ryan's birthday and 2. He proposed to Miranda!! Karrissa and I got to see the proposal and it was so great. I am so happy for them and glad I am getting another awesome sister-in-law :)

That night we went to a comedy show… turned out to be a little to inappropriate for our taste, but it was fun while it lasted. We loved knowing that now with them engaged, we had our whole family! 

 Everyone around us had all these crazy alcoholic drinks and we were just enjoying our starbursts out of a ziploc baggie and water… hahaha. 

Our first stop was in Cozumel. We took a bus to a resort for the day. Beach toys, awesome pool, restaurant… that's all we needed for a good day. Plus, a pouring rain storm! It was fun to play in the pool with the crazy rain. This day was one of my favorites. 

 It finally cleared up after lunch and we got to enjoy the beach for a few more hours. I found Jesse just relaxing in this hammock by himself. He LOVES hammocks. We snuggled up and laid there for a while… just looking at the beautiful ocean… ah. Great moments. 

 Perfection, right?
