Our Cruise!

Okay guys...most of you have seen my album from our cruise...so I will just go through our itinerary for the week and go day by day. So we left Friday morning, found a hotel about 2 hours away from Ft. Lauderdale to crash for the night. Woke up Saturday, got breakfast, drove to Ft. Lauderdale, got through security no problems and boarded the boat. Independence of the Seas was very nice and Royal Carribean had some of the greatest staff I have ever met!! We had such a fabulous time. We got aquainted with the boat, ate some dinner, and just walked around. The first 2 days were on the seas so we swam, ate, rock climbed, and just hung out and found activities to participate in on the boat. We participated in 70s trivia and went to a disco party they had at the Promenade which is where all the shops are located. First port of call was St. Maarten. It was nice and we did shopping for a bit and then decided to walk where we found this guy who hooked us up with a taxi ride to view the whole island and the best food I have ate in a while!!! Only downfall no sweet tea on our trip :( But thankfully we had Diet Coke and Coke products. So the next port of call was St. Kitts. It was beautiful!! We did a tour around the island and shopped..not much to do there....I did get my ring fixed! They replaced the diamonds for me, but last night one of them fell out again....oh well! We will eventually get me another set! Anyways, next port of call was our shortest in Puerto Rico. We went to the fort they have there where war took place and walked through the city. Not really much there either. Last port of call was Haiti! It was the most beautiful beach and thats what we did all day was lay on the beach, eat, and nap! I felt bad for the Haitian people because they really are poor and try there best to sell their goods just to feed their families at night. We bought some beautiful things and had an overall wonderful experience. Tim's brother Brian proposed on our first formal night which was Monday I believe and it was soo sweet so I wont be the only girl in the family anymore :) I loved formal nights and getting dressed up! The best part was being on the ship with the greatest people besides my family!!! I enjoyed every moment!! We went to the ice show which was awesome, we participated in karaoke(okay well Tim did anyways), we participated in The Quest (just had to have been there) which was a scavenger hunt for adults inside the theater!! I had an awesome trip and glad to be back to my pups Rudy! Best part is Tim won a poker tournament on the boat and we got a free cruise in December!!!!! YAY!!! Thanks for reading....hopefully things will go good this summer for us...and I will be an aunt soon!!

2013 is here!!

Hey guys! I haven't written at all in a long time for the new year. 2013 has been great so far! I have been booked solid for subbing and for new schools too!! I have been added at Attalla Elementary and West End Elementary so it is going great...and of course I am still with Gadsden City that I love!! Well, Tim has officially started his morning show as of today!! So listen to 99.3 for Gadsden or 92.7 for Oxford...him and Scott do such a great job and I am happy for them!! I am patiently waiting and supporting him like any good wife would do. I have decided that I am just going to have to bite the bullet and go back and take classes to renew my certification but it will be okay because eventually it will pay off! I just hope I have the money to go back somehow!! That is the only thing that worries me! We set sail next Friday for our cruise!!! We were given a cruise for Christmas as a present from Tim's family!! I am excited...we will be visiting St. Maarten, St. Kitts, Puerto Rico, and Haiti for 8 days!! Cannot believe Spring Break is almost here!!! And my nephew is almost here!! I am SOOOO EXCITED to be an aunt in my family!!! Dallas is such a blessing to us and I hope that eventually I can get a job and become a mom too!! Kinda a scary thought though!!! Anyways....my sister has moved back from Mobile and everything seems like it is falling into place!! Life is going great right now...no complaints!!!
