cruise fun

no anniversary

we just loved when they would sing

i don't want to brag but we had the most popular table on the ship

it's worth watching!

caribbean christmas

my dad and mom went on many cruises together. my dad's been wanting to share the experience with our whole family for quite some time. this year for christmas we went on the ruby princess to the western caribbean. we went to jamaica, grand cayman, cozumel, and the bahamas. we had so much fun meeting people from around the world, swimming with dolphins, eating gourmet food, and being together. the only thing missing was my mom. 

i know slide shows aren't the most popular blogging tactic but here they are anyway. after putting all of our pictures together i didn't know what else to do. this isn't even half...enjoy! i know i will...

thanks dad! you're the best!

i'm in love

pepper nuts

pepper nuts are a small, little, delightful cookie. i was lucky enough to spend the afternoon making them with my dear friend dawnell and her mom, my second mom, jeanine. who knew you could make about five thousand cookies in one batch!

shrimp!

one of my friends that i work with is getting married in january so we went to tepanyaki to celebrate. i don't care for shrimp but i was the only one to catch it my mouth. yay!
