Nate's Wedding! 11/19

We drove to LA for the wedding of our good friend, Nate.


Awwwwww!

While we were waiting for the reception, we tried out our picture-taking skills of the very tall buildings:




KPMG was once a job consideration....


That day, the young men and women put up the lights around the temple grounds for our enjoyment.


That's me in the middle of the cactus, that the lights make to look like a flower.



We actually stayed at the temple apartments for a lot cheaper than close-by hotels. Each night we stayed, we were supposed to do service in the temple. It was nice being right across the street.

The only catch: there was no TV or internet. There was a shelf with a Book of Mormon on it though. When we were done checking out the town Friday night, Scott asked, "Well, do you want to go back to our apartment and read?" ;)

Movember



So a coworker of mine sent out an email about Movember ("During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. With their Mo’s, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men").

I thought it was funny, so sent it to Scott. Little did I know that he would try to celebrate Movember himself!

Luckily it didn't last the whole month:)

Arizona vs. Utah Football!!

Arizona played the Utes, so we went with our Ute-fan friend and had fun cheering extra loud for AZ ;)



So Arizona didn't play extremely well, but we enjoyed ourselves.

Tour De Safford

Scott's 66 Mile Bike Race



It was a bit chilly in the morning, but a really nice day to be bikin'!



He did a great job, especially for his 1st ever bike race! (I was a little mad at my picture-taking skills since I missed part of an important word...)


He's was hurting at the end, but was still a good sport and let me take his pic:)

Crusin'!

Scott and I got to go on a cruise to the Western Caribbean!

Lots of fun! Little bit of weight gained....


We did gain weight, but not all the food was good that we tried (hopefully I didn't cause too much of a scene when I spit what I thought was avocado back on my plate).



1st Stop: Cozumel, Mexico

We got a taxi and got a deal to pretty much go around the whole island. Our driver was really nice.

Mayan Ruins


I think there were more iguanas than ruins!



The Beach




Free to pet! (And only a couple dollars tip...)

2nd Stop: Belize City


We took a city tour on a wagon pulled by a horse. Everything was super ghetto and I was really hoping the tour guide wasn't taking us anywhere that we wouldn't come back.

Scott wanted to stop and get mangos at a fruit stand, but I was not getting off the wagon and staying in that city longer than I had to! So he let the tour guide know that he had changed his mind and no longer needed mangos.

The tour guide started talking about all the drug-related crime that's going on and how the ratio of men to women is 1 to 8 because all the men get killed. He was really helping my nerves.

Here's a little video to show how crazy it was here. We turned the camera off when the police drove by and were staring us down with their big guns....yes, I was really scared.

When the tour was done, I practically ran back to the boat, thankful to still be alive and breathing!

3rd Stop: Roatan, Honduras (so much better than the day before!!!!!!)

We got to go zip-lining in the jungle! So fun!




Then we swam at the fabulous beach.


We ate at the nice ship-restaurant. It was pretty good.



And you can all thank me for not letting Scott buy this, even though he thought it was pretty cool.

Last Stop: Grand Cayman Islands



Stingray City!!

We got to touch and feed these crazy things! They were a little slimy, but it was pretty neat:)

Then we did a bit of snorkeling.




Then our last day at sea:




So much fun!!!! I love vacations!!!
