I've joined the 21st century!!

 Anddd opened a youtube account *gasp* Actually, I had one for a really long time, but never used it.  Hopefully I can do more vlogs and all the cool stuff that bloggers do! I'm such a baby blogger at this point but I am having so much fun learning the many ways to grow this lil' space here.

So, I karoaked on our honeymoon.  To Britney, duh.  And a  few of you insisted that I self humiliate (is that a word?) and share the video. 

Well - ask and you shall recieve! The video is dark, I'm completely embarrased of it, but it is my first youtube upload so I feel even more inclined to share it.

Here is me. Singing good ol' Brit Brit.

 

I mean really, I was stiff as a board, and my eyes were glued to the song lyrics that I literally have memorized and can sing in my sleep!!! Why do I take things so seriously?!?

on another note..is anyone overanalyzing their commenting behavior?? lol. Because I am.

Love love,

Honeymoon: Part Dos

Top of the mornin'

Hope you had a great Father's Day, I would definitely say I am exhausted from driving all over TEXAS this weekend, but I'll get right to it!

****************************************************************************

So basically I die when I look at our pictures..and wonder when we will take our next vacation.

And then quickly realize we are buying a house and that won't be happening for some time. BOO.

But anyways.

Our resort looked like this.

 We would log in a few hours at the beach every day and it looked like this:





 

not too shabby right?



[I tried to photoshop my tummy..but realized I have no idea what I am doing.. I should prob just work out]

After laying around staring at the sun, I started getting reeeeal stir crazy. and if you know me, you know I can never sit still. And Matt and I decided, lets do some thangs! Well really, I decided to do some things, he groaned, and then would tell me he was glad I made him after each activity.

First up: Kayaking. The resort had them to rent for frizzle:




Paddling away!



the water was freakin a-maz-ing.



We Snorkeled. Alot.





We rode some horsies..which was HILARIOUS. I couldn't even do it on my own, I was that much of a wuss. I was totally that girl that had to be hooked up to the guide. Apparently I'm not the horse whisperer that I always thought I would be.



we got really crazy tan lines:



We ate so so so much delicious food. I'm not exaggerating.. DELISH....but really, I saw a few preggo girls on the resort... and I couldn't help but make a mental note that I'd totally be down to come here carrying a mini-me. Then I actually heard of this thing called a 'babymoon' ..where you essentially take a vacay before the bambino comes, and I'd for sure rec this place for this exact purpose. It was mega quiet, the food was to die for, and there obviously was plenty of it. I think the staff makes a special mission to send their guests home 7 lbs heavier. No freaking joke. 7 lbs. 7 pounds!!
























We also saw a really cool Michael Jackson Tribute show:
I mean I think this guy even got a nose job like MJ's..





And we Karoaked. But I only have video. And its horrendous with a capital H. Just know that it involved B. Spears. And a song she sang a long time ago with the word 'sometime' in it.

Matt told me it was good, "babe you were great! you really had an attitude up there"
 But I found out the next morning that he lied. He really, really lied. lol.

and thats about all I will tell you!

So that's all I have for now. Pshh that was actually a lot, I hope you made it down this far. Tata loves!
Tomorrow I'll be guest posting for the lovely Mrs. Peters. So make sure to stop by manana!

and later this week: Xel-Ha Water Park Review


and some video of the cutest dolphins ever!



I just wanna go back!! *pouts and gets back to reality*

Dolphins? Dolphins!!!

I decided I want to wait on at least my bridal portraits before I start recapping, which hopefully I'll get this weekend.  No really, I want to show you how terrible I look without makeup, then post all my wedding pictures afterwards for dramatic effect. 

I keed, I keed. Swimming with dolphins was one of my favorite things we did in on our Honeymoon.  We went off the resort ONE time (for numerous reasons which I'll touch on later in my resort review), to a natural water park called Xel-Ha.

It was quite the adrenaline rush, as I was slightly terrified by these super-cute-yet-wild things!

What I really liked about this dolphin tour, is you were in ocean water, not a pool. 

So here is how it went:

We watched 2 minute video that pretty much said nothing except 'don't touch the blow hole or dolphin's eyes.' That about summed it up. Then we were homefree getting in the water!! This pretty much sums up all instructions to life endangering activities in Mexico. They hardly give any instructions at all.

 So meet Santaab! A rescue dolphin:

They got us all acquainted first, and he just swam around us a little bit for about 5 minutes:

  I had to remind myself his fin wasn't a shark fin many a time:

getting less nervous:

  

Then he started doing some tricks for us:

I'm totally swimming away lol... I was so scared to kick him on accident, then get dolphin attacked..

enough already you crazy dolphin!

and then it was photo op time, man he knew what was up!. I had to make the first move, and I kissed him.

Then he kissed me back.

and posed.

Then I had to hug him / shake his hands? 

the trainer yelled: "get closer!" I was like okkkkk...

Then it was time for the foot push. Dun dun dun.

You spread eagle, lock your knees, and then dolphins come and push you by your feet across the way.

The moment you unlock your knees they stop pushing you.

I think my bathing suit bottom almost fell off. 

The whole thing was 1 hour, and it was totally, totally worth it. They were so sweet, and It was actually pretty scary to be swimming with such a huge fishy. 

This was just one thing we did on our honeymoon, and I really want y'all to see the hotel and hear my thoughts in general about visiting Mexico.. but I'll get back to that late next week hopefully!
