because you're dying to see our honeymoon photos...

life has been a little bit crazy upon our return from our wedding in california, honeymoon in the bahamas, and reception in arizona.

1) i finished my last week of teaching 2nd grade.
2) lots of trips to target and bed, bath, and beyond to get towels, shower curtains, pillows, etc.
3) we are proud costco executive members.
4) as of today, we have been painting our apartment.
5) em works at color me mine and hooked me up with a little part time summer job there.
6) steven's back to work at the mtc. full-time starts tomorrow.

so here are some pictures from our honeymoon.
i know steven and i are like way super attractive, but i am sparing you of our beach photos.

first night's dinner.
the food is amazing.
and it is all you can eat.
um, double trouble.

 the majesty of the seas.

Nassau, Bahamas.

lots of cruise ships lined up! 
ours is the one on the far right.

 we "climbed" the queen's staircase.
the slaves carved a canyon and the staircase with little chisels in honor of the queen freeing them. it took them 16 years. chisels. and a huge rock!  pretty cool.

um, that's the canyon.
chisel? no thank you. how about some dynamite?
{besides me.  i know i'm dynamite.}

it was hot and humid.
i was dyiiiiing.

we walked around nassau and went to the queen's staircase.  went back to the cruise ship for some lunch and to change into our beach garb.

i almost stole this little boy while his grandma was taking a dip.
steven stopped me.  that's why i married him.  well, one reason.

this was the "formal" dinner. we just went with "nice."
should've brought my wedding dress...

Coco Cay, Bahamas.

this was royal caribbean's private island.
they had a delicious bbq.
then we just laid out fat and happy on the beach for a couple of hours.
and for some reason i can't find those beach photos that don't have us in them.
so sad, too bad. they're on the camera still.



here's the majesty waiting for us in the middle of the ocean.
we had to swim to coco cay. it was hard holding my camera above the water the whole time.

and i tried on this hat on the cruise ship that night.

key west, florida.

so cute!
this is where ernest hemmingway had his little hermit hideout.  i took a picture of it as much as i could, but he built up all these walls and we didn't want to pay $30 for us to see it.

we rented bikes and rode all over the little island. so fun. and so hot.
and those photos for some reason didn't load. well, i think they loaded as movies, but i am too tired to figure that out, so you'll just have to wait or never see them.

 i love ice cream.

 arrrrgh! steven be a mighty fine pirate, eh?

oh, we rode to the sothernmost point of the continental usa.
so proud.

i wanted to sneak onto the key west waldorf astoria {thought that was only in nyc!} and go on this little thingy but, no trespassing.

steven has good map skills.

key west. handsome husband.

so every night we had some sort of towel creature and one day it was an elephant relaxing on our bed with my sunglasses on.


and this is us leaving arizona. yes. 4 bags. the red one has my wedding dress in it with like a few picture frames and dvds.  we had a lot of stuff. and now we wait 2.5 more weeks for steven's family to come move lauren up for byu {hoooooray!!!!} and bring us our gifts and a bbq and some crazy piano thing. oh and a tennis ball hopper so steven and i can play tennis. well, so he can teach me. he used to teach tennis, you know. and he is pretty darn good at it. and i told him that i have a power skirt and need to use it for tennis.


i hope that makes you feel a little better until we get our life a little more under control. i.e., our apartment painted and organized.
