Crystal Clear Caymans


This place was beautiful with crystal clear water. I am so glad we decided to do snorkeling here. We went to a stingray sandbar and held (or tried to) tons of stingrays! I was nervous at first more so than I was with the dolphin. My fear was only escalated when one ate my finger. Well sucked it really hard because they don't have teeth. It was amazingly painful. Matt was a total natural at holding them. The trainer claimed the more calm and soft you were the easier it is to hold them. I am thinking this went to matts head since the remaining of the time he kept expressing how "sensitive" he is and how "gentle" his touch is. He was just so "comfortable" around them.
Snorkeling was incredible. The pictures just don't do justice. The coral was full of fish and sharp rocks which matt would testify to. The water was really shallow over some of the coral at some spots. Unfortunatly matt had a fight with one and lost the battle. There is a picture to see the allergic reaction he had when he brushed up against some. We all survived and had a blast!

See the excitement




this was right before...

it ate my finger

Love this Picture

It was pretty steamy




the deadly corral

Fricking A this hurts

There were GIANT iguanas everywhere, this one was super green

I Meagan, Swam with the Dolphins, In the Ocean

Honduras September 22, 2011
Initially we were going to go kayak in the ocean but at the last minute matt surprised me with a trip to swim with the dolphins. I was so excited! Before we left I told him how I found this place that you could actually swim with sharks (in a cage of course silly) which I thought would be awesome, everyone else not so much. I told him the next best thing would be to swim with dolphins. I was worried when that morning came I was so tired and sick that I wasn't going to be able to go. Might I recommend not staying out and dancing so late. Ya, it was not a smart choice but matt and I had a blast. We were able to swim with dixon the dolphin and his trainer in a facility which is right off of the beach. Side note: swimming in the ocean water not ideal. I was able to get pictures with dixon, feel his teeth, tongue and fins. Really neat experience!
I cannot take credit for the amazing shots of the dolphins in the air, that was all Matt

You'd better Belize It

Belieze was the second port stop: September 21, 2011

This was a CRAZY place! The poverty here is crazy. It really humbled me to go to this particular place. Cave tubing is the excursion we decided to do for this day. We privately booked this tour, we went with cave-tubing.com. The men were hilarious and really loved there job. Uncle Tido was our tour guide and while he didn't smell the best he was good to keep us entertained. We hiked through the jungle and then went through the underground caves on the inner tubes. I was so worried about snakes being in the water and jungle fortunately no snakes were seen! Killer ants however, were everywhere  and were carrying leaves off of the trees. Overall good tour and humbling experience. Some of these pictures may be offensive to some...BEWARE!


what a gentleman he carried mine too



The fertility cave...hmm I wonder why

Bottoms Up...the water was shallow here...I did not here the bottoms up cue

Cozumel Mexico :September 20,2011

This was the first stop we made while on the cruise. We got off the ship, got onto another ship for about 20 minutes, go on a bus for 1 1/2 hrs to get to the myian ruins! It was awesome! Matt and I are huge history people and so this was like christmas morning, ok maybe not that good but it was pretty cool. Our bus guide Rauel was amazing! He really had a passion for the information he was sharing. Great experience except for the bus ac went out on the drive home, not so awesome. I am however, blessed to have gone to such a wonderful place, hiked a wonderful past time, and most of all make it home safe. Here are some of the pictures

We made it

Where did it go?

I cannot believe it is already fall. Where has the summer gone! We have been extremely busy this summer! The only thing that made it entirely worth it was a trip to none other than the Caribbean. We were able to get away 1 whole week, the miracle of the century. Belize, Honduras, Cozumel, and Caymans heck yes who wouldn't love it! 7 days on a ship, in the ocean, total relaxation was awesome! What happened on the cruise stays on the cruise...well most things! While not on the ports we ate, slept, occasional dancing, gambling, and comedy shows.We were so fortunate to go with some great friends Clay and Tricia, who by the way are a lot of fun. Can't wait until next year/time! hopefully to Alaska

Other than that nothing to exciting has happened. Matt and I went in for a fertility treatment, which did not take. But we are still hopeful and in the mean time are working hard and enjoying the time we have together! Life is good right now:)

Baby Blue

Matt and I had a bet going and I won I could get "A death trap" as my dad likes to call it. A scooter.

We call her baby blue. I love this scooter, when he first bought it for me in April I drove it everywhere the store, the movies, work. I soon learned NEVER EVER EVER drive it when the wind is blowing. It makes for a very scary drive.

Update

Well it has been awhile since I have blogged but there has not been a lot going on! The latest things however are my new scooter, work, loosing weight, babies, and last but not least couponing!

Matt has started a new development in Midway and I am so excited and proud of him! He accomplishes anything and everything he sets his mind too! He is also building me a cute little greenhouse:) See I like to pretend I have this green thumb. Sadly though almost everything I have tried to grow has died at some point! With that being said if I had a greenhouse maybe I won't kill it as much...a system that will automatically water it and give it sun, oxygen.

This brings me to a baby. I can't keep my plants growing, I'm going to be a great mom right?:) We are still trying and I know that someday in the near future we will be blessed with a baby! Somedays are harder than others for me. I am grateful for a wonderful companion to share this trial with though! I would not trade Matt for anything.

We went on a trip to st.george 3 weeks ago and we were so happy for the warm weather! Sadly it is May and still snowing in Heber..yuck!

In a nut shell this has been the update for the past few months
