Mexico or Bust

This had to be the funnest vacation of my life. We got back from our cruise to Mexico on Sunday August 21. It's crazy to think that it has gone so fast since we waited for it for so long. Almost all of my family went and so did our friends Kyle and Michelle. Although it was hard to see all the poverty I didn't see one person without a smile on their face. It made me think that I'm not nearly as grateful for what I have as I should be. It's a lesson I won't ever forget. Aaron and Allison were on the Love and Marriage Gameshow. Of course Little Brother (Aaron) thought it would be funny to make fun of me so he told the entire audience that I was mean to him. Of course no one believed him. :0)
The Other Table : Dan & Mom, Aaron & Allison, Kyle & Andrea
Our Dinner table: (L-R) Dave & Megan, Josh & I, Michelle & Kyle, and Amy & Spencer ( We were the fun table)
Our Plan was tiny. We had to walk out on the runway to get to it. It's the first time Andrea has ever flown before.

The Beach in Puerto Vallarta
It was so windy that night on the top deck.
Josh and I dancing around the pool.

Hansome won the sexy legs contest. Go figure, he has an awesome tan line on his ankles. These were our waiters. The head waiter, waiter, and assistant waiter (L to R) The assistant waiter was our favorite. He showed us some little magic tricks and just made dinner so much fun.

On the ship they play an adult game called the Quest Gameshow. Everyone gets in groups and then they ask for the first group to bring them 3 shirts, or two bra's, ets. Well Andrea, Kyle, and I just took our shirts off without really thinking that we would then be standing around in our garments. Oh well, we met some other LDS people on the ship because of it.
We Got 2nd Place in the Quest Gameshow!
Kyle and Dave bought some knives that they had a hard time getting on the ship. Apparently they were planning to kill someone with them. We were almost late for the jeep safari because we were waiting for them.
In our jeep was Josh, me, Spencer, and Amy. They gave us these rags to put over our faces because it gets pretty dusty.
In Puerto Vallarta we went on a jeep safari through the forest. I think this was the guys favorite part because they got to drive. That's our guid Pepe. He was funny. He called the American Embassy a Walmart.

The was a little old man that let Josh hold his Iguana's. (there's one on his shoulder)
In Cabo right before we left to go snorkling. It was so fun. The guide let me hold a blow fish and a star fist. It was really neat because there were tons of fish everywhere and you could reach out and touch them all the time.
In Mazatlan this guy jumps off the edge for money. That guy has a death wish.
Josh and I with our boogie boards
We played in the ocean in Mazatlan. We rented boogie boards from some guy on the beach.

The Group, minus Kyle and Michelle (they went to bed)

Josh and I waiting at the Airport

Before the ship leaves the port they do what they call a muster drill. They make you put on your life jackets and report to your life boat. I felt like such a nerd; but as Josh pointed out, "You wont feel like a nerd if the boat sinks". Perfect comment to make right before we set sail. Thanks Handsome. The boys liked to climb the rock wall on the back of the ship. Dave entered a contest and he won. Congrats Davey Crocket (it's a joke)!!!

This was the beautiful sunset as we were pulling away from Cabo San Lucus.

Amber-isms (Stupid things about me!)

1- I am a major Germ-a-phobe. I will never open a public restroom door without a paper towel, or my foot, doing the touching.
2- I turn my pillow over constantly at night because I like the cold side and I always sleep with one leg uncovered, even in the winter. (Go figure)
3- I wear tube socks under my dress boots at church. I hate nylons, they were the worst invention ever and the bra was the best!
4- I have to hang up all of my jeans after I wash them since, sub-conciously I am possitive, the dryer shrinks my jeans. (and eats my socks)
5- I HATE those box-looking Honda whatever they are's, seeing one can ruin my day. :)

Thank You Natalie, Heidi, Janette, and everyone else who talked me into this!

I would like to thank all those who were a part of my desire to blog about my world and those who are 'lucky' enough to come in contact with it. Hopefully this will be a nice alternative to writing in my journal, which has become my therapy sessions, and if I'm lucky you wont think I'm crazy once you finish reading it. I will, however, save most of my lash-out sessions for the viewing pleasure of those who will follow me (now you're really lucky)!
