We're Back!

So we're back and have no more trips planned except for a possible Vegas trip in 2 weeks until we move into our house which will hopefully be the last move for at least a few more years 13 times in 4 years is enough for me .

We had such a fun time on our cruise! It's a little hard to adjust back to the reality of cooking, cleaning and having any sort of responsibility but I guess we can't be on vacation forever and we were really starting to miss Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn had so much fun playing with Grandma and Grandpa Liddle, beacme very fond of Jacob, terrorized poor Penny their dog , and was spoiled with lots of new toys!

Meanwhile Dan and I had a nice relaxing week. Our first stop was in Haiti where we just lounged on the beach. Then we stopped in Jamaica where we attempted to shop for cool stuff but all we found was a statue of Bob Marley so we returned to the mostly empty ship and got pampered at the spa. Next stop was Grand Cayman and we went snorkeling at some 7 mile reef didn't really come close to the snorkeling at Molokini and then went to a stingray city where we got to swim with, feed, pet, and kiss the stingrays supposedly Dan and I will now have 7 years good luck for the kissing part. The last stop was in Cozumel and we took a ferry to the mainland and went to Xel Ha which is a really pretty, huge, Disneylandish snorkeling 'paradise'. The days we were on the boat Dan spent most of the time at the Flowrider... basically a standing wave that pushes 30,000 tons of water a minute up a foamy slope he had so much fun on it that the last night he and Rich we went with our friends Rich and Shelley on the cruise rented it out for an hour. I wish I could have done it but that's something you just can't do when you're 6 months prego :( So I'm trying to convince Dan that we should just put one in our back yard - for only about $500K and operating costs...ok maybe in our dreams but if anyone else wants to do it let us know and we'll come over and use it!

We're not very good at taking pictures of ourselves so here's what we've got. I thought it was fun to get back to our room at night and see what animal the towel was folded into...I wasn't so sure about some of them so if you have better guesses let me know.


Here's some video of Dan on the Flowrider...

High School Coolness Test...

My mom sent me this test in an email, I thought it was pretty fun...what do you think?

This test is based on how cool you were in High School--what crowd you ran with, etc., it's pretty accurate. SEE IF YOU ARE STILL A COOL PERSON: Or if you have changed. Click Here

The past 2 weeks...

We FINALLY got our cable and internet hooked up and Kaitlyn is still napping so here's a quick udpate:

1. We moved back to Provo and Kaitlyn is so sad that we can't go to the "old mall" (aka Mall of America) to ride on the bus and the choo choo. But we did have such a fun time staying at my cousin Jen's house, or as Kaitlyn says "Jack's house", for a few days Jen, Kaitlyn keeps talking about wanting to play with Jack so I think we're gonna have to get together sometime soon:) until we could move into our "temporary house" where we will stay until we can move into our "new house" We've come up with all these names because poor Kaitlyn has no stability and is so confused about where home is.
This is how I let Kaitlyn pass the time away while I unpacked some of our stuff...jumping on the bed it was an airmatress so my reasoning for allowing it was that it wasn't that high off the ground and it was keeping her out of my way and playing dress ups




2. Dan made it back to Provo just in time for us to go to the first BYU football game...very hot, but still fun...Go COUGS!



3. We went and visited our friends Matt, Jaime, and Bentley this past weekend in California so Dan and Matt could go watch the BYU vs UCLA football game while Kaitlyn and I enjoyed just hanging out with Jaime and Bentley.



We're leaving this weekend to go to Florida to drop Kaitlyn off with Grandma and Grandpa Liddle while Dan and I go on a much anticipated cruise to the Carribean!!! So don't be expecting anymore updates until we get back...and pray that are plans don't get disrupted by a hurricane!
