Well we are back to the awesome thing called life! I will just give you a summary of the last couple months! We got married November 6th, so we have been married for almost 2 months. It was been a great couple of months. We have been on many trips since then. For our LOVERMOON {honeymoon} we started out in Payson, YES our wedding night we drove to Payson. It was so fun! We stayed at the Majestic and just relaxed and ate at Denny's and MY favorite and the only chinese buffet I will eat at {China Buffet}! If you have never been go, you will not be disappointed! That Monday we woke up at the butt crack of dawn to drive back to Mesa so we could catch our flight to HAWAII! The flight was way long! Longest flight I have ever been on in my life! We started out on Oahu and had all the experience that come with that island. We went to the Polynessian Cultural Center, Pineapple Plantation, different beaches, walk through the temple {it wasn't open for sessions}, shopping, and lastly yes we did snorkle. And now the story about that. Lets say I'm a very stubborn soul. I am not really a water person, yes I'll try something but I am really hesitant about water, Im afraid of drowning and getting eaten by sharks and all that comes with that. On that note my {husband} not anything like me! He loves loves loves the water! He would be a dolphin if he could! He is fearless and I look up to him for it! He took me snorkling and I was a total butt the whole which made it a horrible experience. When he told me to get in the water I really just put my feet in the water and bent over so the only part of me that was in the water was my legs and my goggles... I know butt right?!?! Well he told me to follow him to the {deep water} you could only imagine how I was acting by that point... I followed and I quote "ok, the trick to this is to let the water take you in" thats what he said! Well I didn't want the water to take me in... I didn't even want to go! Well then comes a wave {huge wave} that takes me out and throws me into a HUGE rock! At this point I was bawling my eyes out! I was trying to pull myself up and get back on a rock and here comes another wave and throws me into a couple more huge rocks! I was so finished after that! Gentry came swimming my way worried as could be and said ok we're done! haha Well while we are walking back he tells me to be careful the rocks are slippery, what happens... I slip! The point Im trying to make here is don't follow in my foot steps when it comes to this particular activity! But on a better note our last day there we were at a beach and I totally body surfed for the 1st time!!! woooo hoooo! That next day we were off to Kauai!!! Oh how I loved Kauai! It was so nice and relaxing! Our hotel/resort was gorgeous! The drive up looked like the scene in The Last Song when they are driving up to his house with the tree canopy! This island we went zip lining and kayaking! What a blast right!?!?! I loved it! Thats about it for the lovermoon! It was really enjoyable and I loved spending the week and a half away from reality so I could relax and enjoy my time with the new hubster!
Our next trip my parents surprised us with a family trip for christmas! We all headed up to the mountains {Pinetop} for a nice relaxing Christmas, so we could focus on the real meaning of Christmas. I really loved spending time with my family without the distractions of electronics, gifts, work, and nonsense! I was able to bond with my sisters the way we use to, spend time with my parents, and spend time with my niece and nephew. Ya I do those things on a daily basis but this time was different. It was like old times! We giggled, laughed, joked, wrestled, and bonded! We completed 2 puzzles, rode quads, played I spy with my little eye, 20 questions, I've never, Catch phrase, cards, and Scene it games! We haven't done that in such a long time and made me realize again how much I love spending time with my family!
This Christmas season has been so awesome! I have loved spending it with Gentry! He has been such a good sport with my holiday decorations/parties! I have the best 2nd family! They moved their Christmas so we could spend Christmas weekend with mine. I loved the Shumway dinner, story, and gift exchange. I love just sitting and talking to them. I am very grateful for the 2 families I have in my life and the great support that they are to me and Gentry! Now for the picture over load... Wedding and Hawaii, we don't have any from christmas but thats ok! {enjoy}
