Okay, so I'm new at this blogging thing and I'm pretty terrible at it...but I figure since my mom is a pro, it can't be THAT hard! Love you mom! :)
For our wedding night we stayed at the Little America Hotel. When we returned after our reception our room was decorated with rose petals, candles, candy, treats, and a few surprises (which will remain a secret). I should have taken a picture, but let's get real...that was the last thing on my mind! But it was perfect!
The next day we drove up to Park City and stayed in the Marriott. The weather wasn't very great, so we were inside most of the time. Once again, I failed to take pictures. (It's my goal to get better at this picture thing) We stayed there for two nights and had a lot of fun.
Monday morning we flew to Long Beach to board our cruise! We managed to take two very attractive pictures at the airport....I guess it's better than nothing!
I guess after our wedding, we were just sick of having to take "good" pictures all the time...
The cruise we went on was a 5 day "Baja Cruise". It stops at Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico. This was my first cruise and I was really excited but a little nervous that I would get sea sick. Jordan has been on a few cruises and promised me that I wouldn't even be able to tell I was on a boat. While we were at dinner our first night, the boat was reeeeally rocky. I knew I was in trouble, so after dinner we went and got some pills so I wouldn't get sick. I took these pills for 2 nights. Whenever I did, I ended up zonking out at about 9 o'clock. We didn't realize the effects until I took some before dinner on Wednesday. Let's just say I acted like I was stoned the whole night. Jordan met one of his mission friends on the cruise that night and I'm sure he thinks something was wrong with me. I was so out of it, I didn't even realize when someone was talking to me. I'm sure he was very impressed with Jord's new wife :)
We think this one was a puppy...but we're still not sure....
Tuesday we stopped at Catalina Island. It's a cute little place!
The boat ride over to the Island
Once we got to the island, we didn't do much. Just walked around for awhile- but it was fun nonetheless!
Cute little dock!
See? Pretty huh?
Us! In love! ha
Tuesday night was dress up for dinner night, so reluctantly we put away our beachwear and put on something a little more nice.
Thursday we were in Ensenada. All we really wanted to do was hit up the little Mexican shops, but in order to get there we had to take a 2 hour bus ride (okay it really wasn't 2 hours) to La Bufadora- the blow hole. This blow hole was really talked up-let's just say I was a little disappointed.

Ensenada
This was the whole reason we went on this little excursion and we got some great deals!
Our last day we at sea so we just layed by the pool. Jord listened to his Ipod while I read my Nook. It worked out perfectly! Oh and I forgot to mention one thing...our friends Jeff and Kortney Kupfer were on the same cruise! It was fun running into them every day.
Us and the Kupfer's!
Me and Korty
This was our "snack" we had every day. After getting home from our cruise Jordan mentioned more than once how he was impressed by how much I ate. I'm not sure whether I'm proud or embarrassed....
We also loved snacking on these all day!
On a cruise you sit at the same table, with the same people every night. I was quite happy with the people at ours. We had a family from New Zealand, a couple from Texas, and a mom and her son from Utah. The last night of our cruise my little Texan friend decided to play 20 questions with me or something. He wanted to know what I loved about Jordan, what we did on our first date, when I fell in love with him, etc. He also noticed Jord was a little sun burned and suggested that I rub oil on him later that night. Needless to say my little Texan and I got along quite well!
Our table! (Our Texan friend is in the right corner....we love him! ha)
We were sad when we had to leave. We had so much fun and felt like the cruise wasn't long enough. I think it's time to plan another one...preferably a week long maybe in the Caribbean or something! Let me know if you're interested!
