Dear mom,
Ok so the Gilmore Girl blog concept wasn't as exciting as I hoped it be. Blogging is just what it is, blogging. That's one of my favorite tv shows I learned a lot from. Well, if you were here I'd be telling you about my life up to date. A few years ago I had made a bucket list but I never did any of those things on it as tends to happen to people. We make them & ignore them, very much like new years resolutions. If you were here I'd ask you if you ever had made one, or resolutions or had any goals in life? Or if we'd make one together?
Since I had been with Jonathan he has helped me do four of those things on the bucket list. I have only crossed off one of them. I have learned archery (as I mentioned before), I have been on a cruise which helped the swim with the dolphins concept. Both were awesome experiences. I have also gotten married!! We are still newly weds.
Learning archery was kind of a challenge since I don't have a lot of upper body strength. But I think that skill can help with that. I can actually hit the target many times too!! It has become fall now so some days it's a bit cold to go outside. Plus with my dog she makes it a bit hard to do much. I know growing up I was a bit over protected so it was hard to learn many things. But as I get older looking back I can understand certain things but I still think some things were over kill however, that
is beside the point. I have found someone to teach me despite my lack of coordination. Maybe when it warms up again I can try again.
Going on the cruise was exciting too!!! By then we had been together for six months. His family went too. His grandparents & parents & an aunt & an uncle & his brother. I think you would like his family. They are very funny & an interesting group of people to talk too. They like to travel & eat different foods & so on. We had formal night a couple of times on the ship, we ate dinner every night. On the first formal night he purposed to me which was our second day on the ship but first official day on the ocean! He got real close to the railing & I think his mom was nervous about it. He asked the question on one knee & kind of tossed the ring over the side of the ship. I was surprised by the question & asked him if he was serious about it. He is a very kind man. On the cruise was when we went swimming with the dolphins at one of the landings. It was the last big event. I could not wear sunblock cause if it came off in the water it might hurt the dolphins. The dolphins were mainly ones that were rescued. They came up & let us pet them & pulled us around. It was very cold in the water which was in a good sized tank. That was a seven day cruise.
Getting married was also on my bucket list. I had a very sparkly glittery dress. I had my friends in the wedding with me as it should've been. The ones I wish you could know. We had fun. One friend had her hair done up & everyone else's was straight so I let her do mine. My maid of honor said I had never let her do my hair before. I think she had fun. John's mom helped with the dress some. She was busy getting things set up. She would come in & check on us from time to time. We got our pictures taken before the wedding cause of the time of day & needing good light. I was hoping to get ready in the house up the hill but we got ready in the stalls at the reception area. It all worked out.
For the honeymoon we went to St Lucia & stayed at Halcyon beach resort. It was really pretty & lots of ocean!!! The food was some similar & some different. We rode hobbycats, & kayacked, & ate sushi & even mac & cheese one after noon. I have all sorts of pictures for that. It was good to get home after a while. I still have stuff I want to check off my bucket list. I'd like to stay at a haunted house or see a hairless spinxs cat in person. That is pretty much it for my blog.
