The cruise was GREAT. Didn’t think I could have so much fun. Even got in the pool. It was 4ft and I stayed close the the edge. I’ve been looking up places that hold swimming lessons. Thinking about getting in a class sometime in July. Anyways like I said I had a really good time. We went to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. Got some really great pictures of the water and beaches. I’m convinced cruises are the best way to vacation now. Travel, Food, Fun and Hotel all in one low price! When we got back bubbles (our dog) was so happy to see us. She was in the kennel the whole time. I don’t think she liked it at all.

I started a diet on Monday. Hopefully take down some of those pounds I gained from the trip. Before I started this blog, I used to have diet journal on blogger.com. I switched from the diet I usually do, and decided to try the Curves diet plan. I started exercising at curves about three months ago. I’m not going to renew my contract, because I wasn’t motivated enough to have another bill added. Besides I have so many exercise DVDs and equipment at home I shouldn’t spend anymore money on memberships. Me and hubby started working out together in the afternoons after dinner. He likes the kickboxing dvds. They give a good work out, but I don’t think they’re much fun. So during the day while he’s at work I do the dvds that i enjoy more. I guess that’s cool since I end up working out twice a day. So back to the diet. Its going well. Today is only the third day. So that’s not saying much.

Another thing that’s been on my mind a lot lately is my friends. I love them all, but I really hate it when they can’t be happy for you. I like to think that I’m always happy and encouraging towards my friends no matter what is going on in my life. Lately one of my friends doesn’t seem to know that she should treat me the same way. We’ve had problems for awhile now, but I guess I’m just finally getting fed up.

I got a dog for Valentine’s Day this year. Her name is Bubbles and she’s the cutest thing ever! OH, but this week I was so upset! She pooped on my carpet. I think the heat gave her diarrhea. Yuck. So yea, cleaning up after her was the highlight of my week. LOL

I rented the new MarioKart game. Pretty fun.  Think I’ll buy it. It took a picture of my Mii (avatar for the Wii) but I guess there’s no way to get it off of there.

I joined a bloggers network. 20somethings.

Well besides all that stuff, I’m going on a cruise Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! This will be our first real trip since we’ve been married. Kinda like our honeymoon. Our one year anniversary is next month.  I’m pretty excited. We’ll get back on Thursday. Not too sure about the internet access so just assume that I won’t be back for another week. Wish me luck! I don’t know how to swim!

I think one of the hardest roles of being a wife or husband is accepting their family. These strangers are not your blood. So no matter how nice or how hard both sides try, it seems almost impossible to feel like they are your family. Yes, my inlaws came to visit for the day.

My husband’s dad and sister were in town and stopped by. I knew it was coming, but you can never prepare for his family. His sister is cool. We’re the same age, and just both graduated from school. Actually I love all his siblings. Its just his parents. If this is understandable, they try TOO hard. Well they try too hard when its convienant for them. Like all humans, they have their other side, which I have been so lucky to experience. Now that I know all that whats yours is mine, and we’re all family now was just a bunch of words, I have no need to even pretend to be close to them. Anyways, I’ll save that rant for another day.

On with my night. It started of casual, with a lot of awkard pauses. We made small talk, played a couple of games on the Wii and then they ate. His dad is a minister. We had bible study. Don’t read me wrong. I’m a strong believer in Jesus Christ, and I love being taught the Word because it motivates me to study it for myself. Its just that his father has a way of trying to single me out, or get overly excited if I answer a question right. Ya know how people make you feel like your the dumb kid who somehow brought home a B paper. So by the end of the night I was really aggitated. I knew they were going to stay late. I had prepared myself for that. I knew it was going to be uneventful. I can handle that because everyday lately is uneventful. I even expected the bible study. It happens every time he visits. I even kept up my end, because I would want my husband to the same with me and my family. What I could not take however, was the closing prayer. I’ve been married for almost a year. There is no need to isolate me when we pray. I mean he outwardly targeted me. Trying to slip in how we are all family and yada yada yada. Then some stuff about me having strength to follow God. I have not even talked to this man in months. I don’t even think he mentioned my husbands name in the prayer. UGH.

Okay I feel better. Sometimes you just need to get things out. On a more merry note, I finally got a layout I like. I guess I’m ready to open my site. YAY!
