the honeymoon: a year later

Since this past week is considered our "honeymoon" week (the week after our wedding), it has dragged for what seems like weeks now.  I have become caught up in the week long vacation of last year and remembering the fun and not-so-fun moments that we spent together. 

We were fortunate enough to get a fabulous cruise from (Daniel's) Uncle Dave and Jeff.  We were on the ship for 7 (and need I say extremely long) days at sea.  We visited Nassau, Bahamas; St. Thomas; and St. Maarten.  Each island was beautiful, but our favorite was St. Maarten.  There is nothing like looking at clear teal blue water.  It was gorgeous and a great reminder of the Creator and His work.  (If the things He made on Earth are this beautiful, can you imagine what Heaven will be like?)

I haven't realized just how much bonding Daniel and I did on that trip until a year later.  Everything about the trip was wonderful even getting (home) sick while watching football in the room while at sea.  I never thought that I would be homesick for football but it was great to watch Oklahoma and someone play.

Please enjoy a few pictures from our first week married. 



The scariest van ride from Ft. Lauderdale to the Port of Miami.  We seriously almost died...three times.



Goodbye, Miami!



Topping the bridge to go to Atlantis in Nassau, Bahamas.  I wish we could afford to stay there every year.



Seriously.  What is this towel animal suppose to be?  And what is Daniel doing?



Beautiful Coki Beach, St. Thomas
This is the scariest place that we went to on the trip.  I felt HIGHLY uncomfortable, so we left after being there for 10 minutes.  I could actually smell people smoking pot.



Celebrating that I am still alive after visiting Coki Beach.  I wanted back on the boat.  Daniel talked me into going down the slide.  It was great!



Goregous St. Maarten
I want to live there.



Downtown Phillipsburg, St. Maarten.
If you are claustrophic, do NOT go here.



Ironically, we didn't take too many "together" pics during the entire honeymoon.
