More photos from our wedding and cruise...

Kate took this photo of the ocean view from our hotel in Puerto Rico. So beautiful!

W!kked ~ the restaurant in St. Thomas where we all gathered for our wedding brunch.

Nelson and Uncle Joe on the patio of W!kked. Nelson was wearing the new t-shirt that his Uncle Joe bought him.

Here we are in front of the restaurant.

Me and my hubby. We were waiting in one of the bars on the ship for our group to be called for departure from the ship...boo hoo, back to reality.

More wedding photos...

Thanks to those that are sending CD's and Flash drives full of photos from the wedding and trip. Keep them coming! Here are a few more wedding photos.

I'm getting my hair done on the ship and look it's Oprah doing my hair! Not really but she looks exactly like Oprah in her thin days!

Another hair shot and better look at Lisa my Oprah look-a-like hair dresser.

The first time Joe saw me in my dress.

Dinner on the 25th. Our wedding cake which interestingly enough they put a candle on and sang to us. It was definitely a different and fun moment.

Our head waiter singing to us and I just can't recall what song he was singing.

Feeding my hubby some of the cake. I was very nice and didn't smash it on his face.

He got a little on my face but overall he was very nice about it. : )

Cruising ~ Our day at sea

This was our last cruise day and it was spent sailing and hanging out by the pool. It was a nice relaxing day and we didn't want to leave the ship. Nothing like being pampered!

My hubby lounging by the pool.

Hot tubbing it. We were watching the water volleyball game when mom came by on her way to the Solarium (the old people pool). It was the crew vs. ship guests.

What handsome men!

Me and my momma.


Our final towel animal. A swan. It wasn't my favorite. I think out of them all I like the monkey hanging from the curtains.

Barbados ~ Our Fifth and Last Port of Call

Our last stop was Barbados. It was very beautiful and we had quite the adventure at Malibu Beach. I'll probably never get Joe back on a Jetski again! We were able to do a little shopping after our beach excursion. We purchased another hat and some pure vanilla which I can't wait to try out.

Malibu Beach. This is where we spent our afternoon in Barbados.

Malibu Rum factory. I opted for the free rum punch drink but not for the tour of the factory.


This sign was at the entrance to the Malibu Rum factory/beach/gift shop.

Malibu Beach - in the background you can see our docked ship.


More of the beautiful water. It was so refreshing and clear.

I talked my hubby into taking a Jetski ride. Now mind you he is a little freaked out about sharks so this was a big step for him to venture out into the ocean on a jetski. Of course I offered to let him drive but he opted for me to take the reins.

Everything is good we are off and running.

That hairpin turn was not so good! I know. I didn't listen very well. I was to head straight out and turn wide. Sorry babe for the bump on the head and dunking you in the water. I told you life would not be boring with me!

One more go by myself. Joe opted to hang out on land.

Once I got the hang of the Jetski it was all fun, fun, fun!

He forgave me! Love ya babe!

Betty and Joe waiting for the bus back to the ship.

Joe trying on hats. I liked this one but he chose a baseball cap that said Barbados and waves on it. It seemed fitting.

Our nightly towel animal. A monkey hanging from our curtain. Very creative.

12 of 12 IV: February 2009

It's 12 of 12 of February. This fun concept was the brainchild of Chad Darnell. To find out more about it click here. Now on to my day...

7:00am - Ready for work

7:05am - My hubby ready for work. It was a glasses kind of day.


7:15am - In the car. Like my new scarf? It was given to me by my Uncle's Fiancee, Kathy and I love it!

9:00am - My messy desk. My office it quite the controversary because they built it larger than the others in our building and my title doesn't warrant the large office. It's been quite the talk amongst my co-workers- lucky me!

10:00am - My cell phone. I'm up for renewel and have the opportunity for a new phone. I just can't decide what to opt for, a Blackberry or another LG Env. Decisions!

10:30am - On my weekly client conference call...so much fun- not!

10:30am - My heater. It is freezing in my office. See, it's not so great. People really need to get over it!

11:45am - My car parked in our carpool spot. We were on our way to Wally World and AJ's for a caffeine jolt!

11:50am - The LOML at Wally World. He needed more floss.

12:30pm - Yes, some passion fruit tea from AJ's!

4:00pm - A little scratcher fun. Let's hope for some luck.

6:30pm - Veggies and Chicken for dinner.

St. Lucia ~ Our Fourth Port of Call

We spent our time in St. Lucia walking around the local shops on the hunt for a new hat for Joe(see pic below). We also spent the afternoon with mom hanging out at the beach. It was a nice relaxing day. The ship had a special midnight buffet with all kinds of decorated watermelons, ice sculptures and chocolate delights.

Welcome to St. Lucia!

Time for us to head to the beach.
