Ohio

I am absoultly loving being in Ohio! I spent yesterday, last night, and today with Miss Madison and her mommy! We went shopping, and to lunch, along with getting new decor for New Years! She is absolutly amazing!
Yesterday she was crabby because she had a bug, but today before shopping her Emmie got a smile out of her!

Here is Emmie and Maddi before we left for shopping! She is such a sweet, sweet baby!
Family is why I continue to come up here Christmas after Christmas! They are absolutly amazing! They love me and care for me, even though I live all the way in Texas! Well, I am off to bed, I have a hair cut in the morning then lunch and dinner with family! We are taking my aunt out for her Birthday dinner! Its a girls dinner, so that always means it will be a blast! Good Night!

On the road again....

My Christmas break has been nothing but crazy! I only spent 2 days at "home" with my mom! I went on my cruise, went "home" for 2 days, went to Fort Worth for Christmas, and now I am sitting with my slippers on with a comfy quilt watching the saints game in Ohio! I will be here until Jan 8! This break I have traveled by car, boat, plane, taxi... My cruise pictures will be coming back tonight! We will do Cozumel tonight! I will be mixing the cruise with Christmas!
Day at Cozumel:

This is what we woke up to that morning! This is Mexico!

We had a nice early breakfast before we set out to see Mexico! 

Good Morning! 

Me with Cozumel behind me! 

Bryan and I did a Sea Trek as our excursion in Cozumel, I tried to get the video to load, but its taking to long! 

This is what Bryan and I chose to do as a excision in Cozumel! 

After our excusion we grabbed some lunch and a margarita in Mexico! Then we hit the town shopping! 

Bryan with his hat he bought standing in the ocean! 

Adios Cozumel! 

Mom got "home" yesterday after 4 days in Fort Worth to a flooded house. At some point while we were gone the hot water heater sprung a leak. She said it is like what you see in movies, water running out the garage and front door. Insurance sent a company out to suck up the water and take up all of the flooring. There was water in every room, except the back living room. My room had the least water. I felt horrible,  because I had just landed here in Cleveland and didn't know what to do. So now we will be picking out new flooring and praying that their will be no major water damage! Lets just say mom was going to get new carpet with the estate money she got, now she is doing it sooner than she expected! I will go "home" the weekend after I get back to Fort Worth, and help her thrown the stuff away. We will be doing spring cleaning early! 

Merry Christmas!

Tonight I am taking a little break from my cruise to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! We went to my grandparents for Christmas Eve dinner with tamales and chili. Tomorrow I will head to Bryan's family for lunch and back to Papa's for dinner! I love being around my family! I hope that you are all having a Merry Christmas with your families! 

Merry Christmas! 

1st Day at Sea! (Cruise Day 2)

On our second day on the boat, and first full day on the boat was spent at sea. After the night before I was hoping that we would hit calm waters and I wouldnt get sick. By then my patch had started to work, and I didnt feel ill once!

Before breakfast we just hung out in one of the areas on the ship! 

Then after breakfast we hung out by the pool and caught some rays, and walked around the boat (something we did often)!

Me on the front deck! 

Bryan hanging out on the top deck! 

This a view from the top deck, down onto the pool area.

In the lobby of the ship, on our way back to the room! 

We had to get ready because tonight was formal night! 

But we got ready while we watched the dun set. This was the view of the sunset out our window, it was my absolute favorite picture of a sunset that I took! 

Theres were taken before dinner. We also had professional pictures taken after dinner, that I will scan and post later! 

This was Bryan and I at dinner. We had Lobster Tail and Shrimp (which I gave my shrimp to Bryan, I cant do the texture right now..)

Bryan's parents at dinner!

After dinner we hung out, and went to a show and played Bingo!

Tomorrow I will post about our day in port at Cozumel! 

I'm Back!

So I must say that this trip was amazing! It is up there with Disney, but I don't know if it has passed it yet! I haven't quiet decided! But I do know I can't wait to go on my next cruise! I am trying to convince mom to go on one with me for my 21st birthday, but we will see! I will post pictures over the next few days! Tonight I will post Day 1 of the trip! Which we left Galveston, and headed out to sea!

This was our stateroom, we had a window, which was so cool to look out at night and during the sun rise! But the bathroom was horribly small! 

We went up onto the top deck after we met at our munster stations to see us pull out! It was neat to see the dolphins riding the waves as we pulled out! 

Out side our stateroom before going to explore! 

Out on deck looking back at land! 

It was cold and windy on the way out! 

Thats all for day one! I got sea sick at dinner, and just went to bed! I thankfully woke up the next morning use to the motion and feeling much better! Tomorrow will be day 2! We had our formal dinner,and it was a whole day at sea! 

Sailing...Sailing away from here...

I am officially completely done with my Junior 1 Bock, Fall 2010, First semester in the College of Education, semester of HELL, semester of little sleep, semester of high stress, and a semester of great friendships!
This week I spent many night up late studying, and one night hanging with the girls in my block! I have grown so close to these girls, they are beyond amazing. I have made friendships that will last a a lifetime!
Now that finals are over, and I am packed and ready for my cruise outa here! I am leaving for Galveston in about 7 hours, and our ship pulls out in 16 hours! I am so excited for this experience! I am a bit worried about getting sea sick, this is my first cruise so we will see :) I dont have any pictures tonight, I am on Bryan's laptop....but I am sure I will have plenty to share with you all when I get back! I hope you all have a great next few days because I know I will be!
xoxo Night! Be back in a few days :)

Family Christmas in Waco...

This last weekend, I had my family Christmas with my Waco family... While they are not my biological family, I have known them for a very long time, and they are family.

They treat me like their 3rd daughter! 

Bryan, Me, Morgan and Macy! (They even love Bryan)

This is Morgan, who has been on my blog a million times! She is my sister! 

I got Macy the Ipod cover she wanted! 

and...I got Morgan a I Love Lucy Memoir book! 

Bryan and I got Mom and Dad Hickory Farms gift (which they love) and a nice bottle of wine!  

They got Bryan lots of George Bush things from Crawford, Texas.  (Bryan loves Bush)

I got a amazing crock-pot, a crock-pot cookbook, and a recipe box! I love my new crock-pot! 

After dinner we went to look at lights in Belton. They were pretty cool!

Bored....took 1.5 hour to get in to drive through and see the lights! 

Then Sunday we decorated Christmas cookies...

I love this time of year, and I love family time! 

Home for the Holidays at the Apartment!

I would like to welcome you home with me at my apartment! 

I am so happy that my roommate decided to buy a LIVE wreath! It smells amazing! We couldn't afford a real tree, so this was nice! 

This is how it looks from outside our apartment! That is our porch, and our tree in the window! 

This is above our cabinets! I got that red tree at Kirkland's for a awesome deal! 

This is our Christmas tree! It now has MANY more gifts under it, and a few more ornaments on it! I am not a fan of the multi colored lights on the tree, but my roommate does so we compromised :)

A view of our tree and the "Noel" letters that I made for Christmas! 

Here is an up-close view of them! There is new a few stars next to the N that I painted and added!  (These are the letters I made for my craft partner! Now that she has them I can post it! I like the paper I used on her better, but its ok!)

Welcome Home for the Holidays! I am sure that I have missed a few things around the apartment, but I will do another post! 

Merry Christmas TCU style!

The other night, we headed up to TCU to take pictures in front of the humongous tree at TCU! We always have these huge live trees at TCU every christmas, along with a tree lighting ceremony.

This picture was taken before the tree lighting. Sorry its blurry I had a 3 year old sitting in my lap! 

After many carols, the reading of the night before finals, TCU santa, and Mrs. Clause came to light the tree! 

The celebration always brings reindeer, hot coco, and train rides for kids, but this year TCU also had a long horn. I know it is Texas, but...

This is a look at what TCU calls the commons, during the tree lighting ceremony! 

Last night we headed back up to campus for our own photo shoot. BUT we picked a bad windy night to do this! 

(one of my favorite pictures from the night!)

This is the best I could get of Riley, he didnt cooperate very well! 

Jane, Sadie, Riley, and I! (she has better on her camera of us!)

Bryan, Riley, and I

And that is how Christmas is at TCU! It is pretty awesome!
