The Update.

Back in Business

Sorry we have had such a boring blog lately.... I seriously have been nagging Mark to fix the computer so I could.. So he slaved away on his desktop computer....... AND THEN, what do ya know.... the compter is dies. So, Mark fixed his old laptop just for me! NOW WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS!

Here is a pic of Mark slaving away in one of our messy messy rooms!

Okay, overall our lives are just newlywed style so I dont think you really care about that....I am sure that those of you who ARE married know what I am talking about. Instead of a mushy disgusting blog post, I thought I would enlighten you with my mad decorating skills:

The Preview...

As most of you know, I have been decorating like crazy..... and I am sure you are all DYING to see the place. UNFORTUNATELY, you can't. You can't see it because it's not done. Its like baking a cake. You can't just pull it out whenever you want. YOU HAVE TO WAIT! But if you are anything thing like me, you will turn the oven light on and see the preview. So this is where the preview for our condo comes in. (I also apologize for not being a pro photographer like Angie, but at least you get the picture... right?)

So while I was taking the picture, I was holding this up because we still haven't put them on the walls, but for the sake of blogging, I held it up....

This bathroom is almost done.... but its needs a couple more touch ups here and there and then it will be our FIRST ROOM DONE!

Wow, I can't wait until the place is completely clean and organized! I am going nuts.... I can't find things and that is probably one of my biggest pet peeves.... SO I am working hard to finish....

Oh and when I am not running errands or decorating, I read this weird book called "The Glass Castle".... You will have to read it to understand how weird it really is.... It's sad, its an autobio by Jeanette Walls. Talk about a sad lifestyle. I don't want to ruin it so read it.......

P.S. Go to HELL!!!

"HELL..."

We forgot to mention that we spent part of our honeymoon in hell. There is this little town called Hell on the more western part of the island, and we actually kinda got lost there when we were searching for the Turtle Farm. In Caymnan, all the main roads are not labeled but all of the other little roads that lead to dead ends are all marked..... I think some country needs to work on some organizational skills!

What happens in Cayman stays in Cayman

The honeymoon was great! Food was expensive, the sun was shining, the hotel was "comfortable" and I got a rash.

The "Rash"

In the picture.... you can see the beginning of what has become a nightmare! First it started on my arm... then my neck, back, legs, and feet. Mark and I thought it was jellyfish at first... but now, we think its some plague from the Caribbean.




The Caribbean LIFE

Ya know when people from an island talk all "eh- mahn!" Just imagine that but times a million. You literally can't understand a lick of what those people are saying. Other than the "eh- mahn" factor, the island was amazing! The sand was white, the ocean was way blue and the sun was HOT! (Okay, so it wasn't THAT hot, but I thought I would rub it in.)

Apparently they sell a lot of rum and stuff at Rum Point... go figure!

For the Rum Point pic, we stopped in the middle of the road and took this picture..... luckily there weren't a lot of cars..... because if there were..... we weren't going to move until the picture was taken!

The Stingrays were everywhere!!!

While we were in Cayman, we went to a turtle farm, Stingray City, snorkled, lounged on the beaches and shopped. Stingray City was amazing! We snorkled at this way awesome reef! There were all kinds of fish that were neon and all kinds of vibrant, sweet colors! Then we went to the actual sting ray part and that was a little "different". A couple events happened while we were there: the stingrays and the stupid birds. When we got off the sailboat, there were sting rays everywhere; they swarmed us. These things are huge and they look like aliens. NO JOKE! Its a little freaky beacause everywhere you turn around its like Men in Black all over again. Then the stupid birds come into play. The sting ray man let all of us feed these rays some chopped up squid (ew) and I sat there like a zombie because I was so scared of the things. So I finally got the courage to feed the rays and as I am cautiously putting the nasty, slimy squid in the water, A BIRD, OUT OF NO WHERE came down, bit my hand and stole the food! Ok now seriously... WHAT KIND OF SICK TWISTED BIRD STEALS SQUID! Of all the nice pellets and berries you could find on the island, you HAVE to come fly a thousand miles just to steal a slimy, half masticated chunk of SQUID!.... stupid bird.....

And I thought the bird was gross......... Did I really marry this guy??? Needless to say the love life got a little dull after this incident....

The Highlight of "Our" Honeymoon

When they took Cinnabon out of the University Mall, I thought it had gone out of business which was a heartbreak for me because those are the best cinnamon rolls EVER! Anyways, when we were in the Charlotte airport, I saw some random lady with a cinnabon. Sadly, I had already had some hot cocoa and some sandwich from California Pizza Kitchen (yeah, I know, great diet). The last two days of our trip I constantly "re-assured" Mark that we would go to Cinnabon on our flight home. When we finally got to the Charlotte airport, the first thing I said was, "where's that cinnabon!". Mark said it was the highlight of "my" trip but I think deep down, it was the highlight of "our" trip.

THE END
