remember that time that I blogged?

'Tis true. I am back. Literally- I was away and now I am back. I have neglected the blogging world for too long, and now that I have caught up on reading all my favorite blogs, I will update you on my life in the last week... in case anyone is still reading this abandoned blog.

Well, camp ended (sadly) and I told you I was going to a wedding. It was a lovely Denver wedding and the bride and groom were very joyful. Also, my husband thinks we should someday live in Colorado. Too cold, I say.

Anyway, here I am with the blushing bride::

From CO we flew to Orlando to meet up with my in-laws and get on a big ship. We got to go on a cruise to the Bahamas. It was delightful. I was really nervous at first, however. If you don't already know, let me tell you that I have cruised once before and due to a storm it was quite chilly and the boat's rocking back and forth (and back and forth...) made me really woozy for the first day.
Not to mention, I don't think I really like the water. I may or may not be kind of afraid of water. I am just recently discovering this, as many of my quirks point to an odd dislike of large amounts of water. I have never liked traveling through tunnels that go underwater (oh the terrible thoughts that fill my head) and I am only slightly embarrassed to admit to you that I am kind of afraid of Aquariums too. Also, I like to sit by the pool but rarely enjoy getting in (now I am a lifeguard, but in my opinion maybe this fear of water makes me really aware and attentive to patron safety!)

I just kind of prefer land. But, this trip was much smoother overall and I am very thankful for the vacation. Here we are together on the ship. I am the one who is not blonde::When we arrived to the island the rest of the family went snorkeling. I have done this before, and it was fine... but I decided it's not really the activity for me (maybe it's the whole fear of water thing again or whatever). So this was my view for most of the time. Loved it:: One afternoon it did storm for about an hour (because that is what happens when I travel to tropical locations) but I made the best of it with this delicious slushie beverage which I drank from a pineapple!And here's me and the hubby in front of the gigantic floating vessel::

So that's the latest. A lovely week away, and now I'm going to go clean something- cuz that's my job!
