#bahamas2013

In August, Nephi and I went with my parents and sister to the Bahamas on a 5 day cruise! It was everything we hoped for--hot, sunny, clear waters, great weather, great company, and fun adventures! Oh, and the food was pretty good, too.

I didn't feel like arranging the photos in order after I downloaded them but here is the gist of it!

{{These pictures don't do it justice so be sure to check out the vlogs that Nephi is working on! He is doing a series of them because there was so much footage.}}

Miami Beach! We got to spend a day in Miami before we left and I decided I want to move to Miami. I loved it!

Look at how white we were... :) This was before we left.

Half Moon Cay was our second stop and we just spent all day on the beach. It was PERFECT. The sand was like flour and the water was like bath water. We swam all day and Nephi was confident it was 120 degrees outside--Ha! It was very hot.

At the Atlantis Resort in Nassau! This was one of their beaches at the resort but we spent the majority of time at the pools. They were amazing.

In the theater on the boat. We went to all the shows and tried to keep busy for our first day at sea.

We loved every minute together!

At the Atlantis Resort they have a lazy river. Trust me, you cannot be lazy in that river! There were rapids, a wave generator and a conveyor belt. It was amazing! We burned our legs from going round after round throughout the day. It was worth it!

I get very motion sick so I wore a prescription patch. I didn't suffer from any of the side effects really except my vision was off a few days after I got home. It worked perfect and I didn't get sick once! I highly recommend it.

Grand Turks was amazing! A beautiful Island that is so eco friendly and has great weather. We want to go back some day.

We did dinner in the dining room each night.

We loved our dinner crew! Our servers were awesome and we will always remember them!

Our room was cozy. Of course we had to get a mirror shot.

We went glass bottom kayaking in Grand Turks. It was so cool! We didn't see anything huge but it was paradise out there.

Wouldn't be a cruise without a towel pic, right?

Remember how I love Miami?

I got brave and held a sea creature. It was squirmy and a little sharp but pretty harmless. 

Guys...you have to go to the Atlantis Resort some day! It was a on my bucket list and I am so glad I got to go! It was paradise. I would say the cheapest was to get there would be a cruise. The rooms are hundreds of dollars a night and the arch that you see here is the Presidential Suite which costs about $25,000/night! Save for it, right? ...NOT!

Vlog 2 -- Boarding the Ship

Vlog 3 -- 1st Stop: Grand Turk


Nephi and I had the BEST time! It was fun to be there with family and I would recommend going with people you know. We hope to fit in another one, soon, but we are so grateful we were able to go! It truly was a trip of a lifetime.

He's Graduated!

 

 So proud of my guy.

The Summer of 2013

We had the BEST summer and can't believe it has come to an end! Since I'm so behind at blogging--I will just share a quick run down...

 

Ran the Bone and Back...together! Check out the vlog!

We were on a relay team with a total of 8 people and we all ran 5 mile legs. Nephi took the first leg and threw up at the end. Poor guy. He didn't do much training but was our back up runner and we ended up needing him! He is such a great sport. We are running another relay at the end of September! 

Had a great 4th of July at the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration. I was in charge of planning the business aspect of the week so I was running around like crazy until the 4th where we were able to spend time with Nephi's  family! We had a blast! Check out the vlog!

 

  

These cute babies (not really babies anymore) came to town too and we soaked up as much time as we could with them! Check out the vlog!

 

Went on a helicopter ride!  Check out the vlog!

 Met up in Utah with these beautiful ladies for a much needed girls weekend. Shopped, talked, snuggled their babies and their expecting bellies, ate yummy pastries and then I hit the road back to Idaho. One day we are determined to live in the same state!

 Ran a 10k and hit a PR! It was a local race in Idaho Falls and I had my parents in town there to support! It was a beautiful run and perfect weather. Check out the vlog!

Nephi got to meet my mission president! He's the best. 

Went to Chicago on business and got to try legit "Chicago-style pizza". It was delish and I had to un-button my pants. Yikes. 

Met our newest (and only} nephew, Grayson! We fell in love and can't wait to visit him soon. 

Check out the vlog! 

Saturday long runs became my favorite...kinda. Ran my first 10 miler and signed up for a half marathon! Esh. More on that in another post. 

Did some more travelling! Orlando for work and then down to Miami for a Cruise! More on that in another post. 

Ended the summer right by going to the fair--where I fell in love with this boy exactly 3 years ago. 

He had a beard then, too. What do you think?! I love it.

Some primary quotes from today.

(Yesterday K saw Nephi working at the movie theater)
K: Hey! I saw you working at the theater!
Nephi: Yes you did, that's where I work.
K: You can't have two jobs though!?
Nephi: I don't
K: Yes you do. One at the theater and one here at church. You can't do that!

Mallory: In the future I hope that you will raise your hand before you make a comment
P: There's no such thing as future...
Mallory: Yes there is, the future is tomorrow.
P: (puts hands on head) Oh my gosh! So much stuff is going to happen!

C: Hey everybody. Can I tell you all something before we pray and leave?
Mallory: Yes, C, go ahead.
C: Well, we have hot tub and we're going to get in it tonight. You are all invited. Just call this number (says his phone number) and bring a swimsuit.

K: You never came over to my house and played tennis with me! You promised me you'd come this summer!
