And this is really just a continuation of the last post... We went on our first cruise! It was a BLAST. We spent 7 days cruising down the Mexican Riviera, from L.A. to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. Here are some of our favorite pictures! It was so nice to see and feel the beautiful sun instead of the ugly Utah inversion!






This is us getting onto the ginormous ship.












This is the first formal night. It was so fun to get dressed up!
















This was my one of my favorite of the little animals we found in our room every night. So creative!







In Cabo San Lucas, we went to the Rock Island and spent the day on "Lover's Beach."







Playing mini-golf on the Sports Deck of the cruise ship. They even had a rock climbing wall and an ice skating rink!!


Why are sunsets so much more amazing in Mexico?





















This is a little town called Boca de Tomatlan, where we took army trucks to this little rural place, then rode donkeys up a mountain, and took a bunch of zip lines back down. We even got to repel down waterfalls! It was awesome. Too bad they didn't let us take any pictures during that part :(


This is another day when we went horseback riding and hung out at the beach. We had a cool little guide named Martine, who knew very little English, but somehow we managed to get along.






This is a picture of the inside of the cruise ship. It was so huge! 14 floors of everything you can imagine.



And this was my entertainment on the 12 hour drive home. Can you see I got 3 Yahtzee's in one game?!? Pretty sure that's gotta be the ALL-TIME high score!

Fun in the Winter Sun

Believe it or not, we're still alive! It's been a crazy couple of months, with tons of changes, accomplishments, and best of all...vacation time! Here's a look at what we've been up to:












Seeing the lights at Temple Square, a classic, and must-do every Christmas season. You can't see Drew, Leah, Saige, and Lilly, but they were there too.














Then... GRADUATION of course! Official this time. I am done forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and. . . (Can't you tell how grown up we are??)




Best nursing friends ever! These girls are lifers.









Our first Christmas on our own! It was so cute--Rob got up early and made my favorite hot chocolate, and had it in cute new mugs for us to sip with some donut holes while we opened up presents. LOVED it! (I look slightly possessed in this picture, but it was the best one to represent the wonderful morning)



And time spent at the cabin! It was way fun to have Dev and Jennie in town, and to act like no time had gone by. While we were at the cabin, we slept in, had couples tournaments of Rook/ping pong/foosball, days of snowshoeing and sledding, and basically SO MUCH FUN! I was the lucky one that got to hold Lucy during the only time she would go down the sledding hill!
