Happy Birthday to ME!

I don't know how two weeks have passed since my 28th birthday.... where the heck does time go??? Seriously... I can barely remember what the heck we did! Shame on me for not posting right away like i should!

So the day before my birthday we were off and Harold took me to the MELTING POT!!! Oh its my favorite!!!! I LOOOOOOVE that place!!!! The food was wonderful and we got to hang out and talk and remember our honeymoon and our cruise and our last year together... so happy =)

On the day of my birthday we took roxie to the beach and relaxed most of the day. At night we went to dinner with mami and papi and sandy and jeff.... everyone came from north and south just for me =) (I LOVE YOU!) We went to Sea Siam and the food was soooo good!! I had worked easter weekend since i was on the cruise and was really missing everyone by my birthday so it was extra special to spend it with everyone.

One of the best gifts I got was my mom singing to me... HEY NANCY... IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY... TODAY... MY NAME IS ZOOM AND I LIVE ON THE MOON.... it was a birthday song she would play for me over and over and over again every year when I was younger. What a happy memory! I think I heard it at least 10 times that day alone! Harold thought I was nuts! The funny thing is that she not only found the song and sent it to me as a file... but she also sang the whole thing on my voice mail! I still have it but I don't know how to save it so that I can post =/ I gotta ask around see if someone can help me with that!

That following weekend some friends gathered in the keys to relax and enjoy the sun. It was a really nice day and at night we got to play a fun game of Catch Phrase!

My friends and family are so important to me and spending my special day with them only made it that much better =)

One Year!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone =)

So March 29 was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!! I can not explain how fast this year feels like it went by. I swear it feels like just yesterday the man of my dreams made a promise to stand by my side for the rest of our lives! I'm so lucky!! I'm so inlove! I'm greatful and blessed and happy and everything else in between =)

On the weekend of our anniverary we were in the keys.. it was a yucky weekend and we didn't do much. Sunday morninig he woke me up playing Better Together on the iphone... of coure I cried... how could i be so lucky! It was a perfect morning. We went home and cleaned up the back yard in the afternoon... we got our pavers!!!! I'm tempted to post a picture but I would rather you come over to see it!! Just kidding.. it should be somewhere on this page ;)

For dinner we went to Outback... i know it wasn't a fancy place or anything but we hadn't been there in a while and we needed to save money for our CRUISE!! Dinner was yummy and so was dessert ;) As our "paper one year gift" he got me this beautiful book from that amazing photographer from hawaii. We couldn't affort the $500 peice that I wanted but the book was PERFECT!!! Funny thing is that I also got him a little reminder of Hawaii... i framed a beautiful picture of a turtle we had bought over there... it came out beautiful and he loved it =)

April 2 we left on our 4 day cruise to Cozumel on Royal Carribean. The ship was beautiful and we had a balcony!!!! I wanted to stay in the room the whole time!!! The first day we explored the ship like two little kids... there was soooo much to see! That night we went dancing at the little club and drank a whole bunch! We had a really good time.

Day 2 was a day at sea. It was beautiful to see and smell the ocean off the balcony. We hung out by the pool and read most of the day. I went to a spinning class and he hit the gym and then we hung out in the room.... its toooooo bad I had my freaking "monthly visitor" during the WHOLE trip... i was sooooo freaking upset about that! And then I had an itch in the back of my throat that turned into being sick with a nasty cough and phlem and the whole feeling shitty... i had to fight all that to have a blast and not ruin my trip... i paid for it at night though =/ One uper fun thing i did was do kareokeee with a live band!!!! oh my god it was so cool!!!!! I sang Don't Stop Believing.... when the piano started playing i got so excited... and then when the drums and backup singers started I felt like a ROCK STAR!!!!! lol... it was totally awesome! harold says I sounded pretty good which was nice =)

Day 3 we were in COZUMEL! We woke up so early we got to watch the sunrise over mexico while having room service breakfast on our balcony =) That was super nice! We were early off the ship and rented a dun-buggy to explore the island. We went to Paradise beach and were the ONLY ones there! We walked the beach and laid in a hammock. we even went in the water and played on one of those water trampoleen (spelling???) things. That was one hell of a workout!!! Its 100x harder to jump on those than the ones on land! We had a great time acting like little kids =)

We kept drinving around the island and would stop whenever we saw something intresting. It was a great ride. Our goal was to get to Carlos and Charlie it time to have a few drinks and fun there because EVERYONE said that we had to go there... Sure enough we got there and started the drinking process.... I had two yard stick drinks.. one margarita and one long island. Harold had a margarita and a beer and then we shared another beer... add this to conga line shots... who knows how many we had... and then like another 4 shots by ladies that came by and shook your head and pinched our boobies.... and then... .then there was the free tequila shot at the end that a mexican man working there brought us.... we both knew it would be the end of us if we took the shot... but we kissed and did it anyways!!!! lol....

Lets just say that the pictures after that shot we barely remember taking! It seems like we danced a little more... headed to another bar Senor Frogs... more conga shots there!!! We headed back to the ship (on time thank god!) we managed to stop at a burger king to share a wopper and i happened to take pictures of that too!! God only knows how we found the rental place or the port!!!! but we did and we made it on time!! We went up six flight of stairs to the room and apperently i sat on the bed and passed out... like harold says i hit the bed and started snoring!!! He layed in the bed next to me and basically nothing else happened until 7am the next morning!!!!! Yes.. we slept for 13 hours and missed everything on the ship that night!!

I sorta woke up at 830 and shored and took meds for the fever I had developed... I woke up only to find my lovely husband passed out with the sun setting on the siloette of his body... it was toooo funny! I tried to wake him up for dinner but he moaned and i wasn't about to fight him the way i was feeling.... so we slept.... i couldnt get him to shower so I made sure he kept away from me and he slept DIRTY! lol... needless to say we had a great time in Cozumel! =)

Day 4 at sea we ate breakfast really early. we had the ship to ourselves in the morning because everyone else was still asleep! we played mini golf.. he won... we had lunch at johnny rocket.... that was a waste... we read on the balcony and relaxed.. that was nice =) We saw a school of dolphins swimming by the ship and jumping all over the place... there must have been like 30! it was beautiful!!

And that was our anniversary trip.. it was awesome and we plan to do some type of vacation every year! =)
