Little Snippet.

I thought i would mention how much i miss my home. Don't get me wrong, i am having a grand ole time, and experiencing things that i would never have dreamed of. But a part of me is constantly aching for my family, friends, and hometown.

There is truly no place like home.

And i wanted to say thank you to all of you who make me miss it so dearly. Even if you never look at this post on blogger.com. haha! I love you with every inch of my beating heart. :)
Day: Who even knows... I'll get back to you on that one!

Paradise; A place of extreme beauty, delight or happiness.

Well hello there, its definitely been a while! Soooo much has happened since that last post! Things with the family are fantastic! I thank my lucky stars that i got this family! They are the best thing i could've asked for! Actually, i am going to try and do more things for them in appreciation of how amazing they are to me! :) Anna, Ava and i are bonding quite nicely! They are the cutest little gals in all of New York! My nanny pals are just the best! Tanea is leaving in May, so that kinda sucks! :( Buuuut she will be working in San Diego for cryin out loud, so in a way she is the luckiest one! haha! Everyone else is staying until at least September i think... so that means more time to paaaartay! haha!

So this past week i went on a cruise to a little place i like to call the Bahamas. I DIDN'T WANT TO COME BACK. hahaha! oh my gooodness, it was the best vacation ever!! We stopped on three islands, Key West, Nassau, and Coco Cay! In Key West we went parasailing, that was thrilling for sure! haha! And the guys working on the boat were hilarious! They like kept trying to hug us when they were putting our gear on, and they danced all funny at the front of the boat! (i will post that vid when i get it on my comp.) After that we went to the beach and just laid out like you're supposed to do on vacation in paradise! haha! Oh and one of the funniest things throughout the whole trip was Penny goin out and talking to the young men for us, and every time we met someone new, she would find out their life story! haha! She is sooo great! :) Poor Melissa was sick for the beginning of the cruise, but luckily she had some intense meds that healed her by the end! haha! So on Nassau we rented scooters for the day, and that was just a strait up adventure!! First of all, they didn't tell us that we were supposed to drive on the left side of the road! And second, they sent us down a one way THE WRONG WAY! haha! The natives were goin crazy!! haha! After that we kinda got the hang of it..... except Laurin about got smashed by about 3 busses! haha! We buzzed around on the scoots lookin for the shops, and checkin out the beaches! It was way pretty! Then we went to the famous Atlantis Resort! It is HUGE! And probably one of the coolest buildings i have ever seen! They did a way good job at making it look like the 'lost city'! The only thing was... by the time we got there, nobody was outside, it was eerie! ha! Actually we discovered that all the pools were closed by 5.... lame status. haha! After that we decided we wanted to eat somewhere, so we asked around and guess where they suggested we eat??? The Poop Deck. No joke. hahahaha! And we almost did! Buuut the prices were a little high, so we just decided to eat for free on the ship! ha! Next stop was Coco Cay! This is the little island that the actual cruise line owns! And this is where we went snorkeling! We got our gear first thing, and headed out! It was a bit windy this day, plus it was kinda early in the day, so it was a bit chilly to say the least! haha! But it was waaay cool still! We saw little fish! it was my first time doin that too, so i was fascinated! ha! The rest of the day we walked around and ate some lunch and just chilled! Man i love the Bahamas! :) Now i gotta tell you about the fooooood. Talk about fine dining!!! haha! Breakfast and Lunch we did the buffet, which was a nice assortment of food! And i am pretty sure we all got pineapple with EVERY meal! For real! haha! And now dinner...... I really felt like i was in a rich people restaurant! haha! And our waiter!! His name was Roche! He was THE best waiter anyone could ask for! Every night he would suggest something for us to eat, and if we didn't order it.... he brought it out anyway so we could try it! haha! And he would bring us out extra desserts, ANYTHING we wanted, for real! One night three of us ordered the Tiger Garlic Shrimp,, it came with 5 pieces of shrimp, a big pile of rice, and broccoli and tomatoes, and it was delicious!!! Buuut we wanted more shrimp. Somehow Roche read our minds and asked if we wanted more shrimp! Of course we said yes, right? Well out he comes with three plates with THE WHOLE MEAL. Oooooh snap. haha! So we ate as much as we could! haha! After every meal i felt like i was gonna explode! haha! And Wissem was our water/roll boy, and he was the same way,, he brought us roll after roll, and refilled our water like every 5 minutes! haha! man, that's the life eh?? jk, if thats what it was like, i would be extremely FAT. ha! So, if you haven't been on a cruise, i would suggest going! Twas phenom.

Another event i went to, that was pretty interesting, was The West Point Ball! It was a blind date, and soooo random! haha! But it was way cool too! We got to dress up all fancy, and freaking West Point is BIG! And it looks like a castle! And they let us keep our little wine glasses, it was sweeeet! haha! To be honest, the only reason me and Krista and Janell were invited was because Tony 'Sagastazadoo'..... i don't know his real last name.... anyway, he wanted to take Melissa way bad! He like conned his way into this date with her... He is in love with her i swear!! haha! Buuuut Melissa isn't interested.... haha! But at least we all got the experience, right?

There are 16 days til DISNEYLAND with the fam! I'm pumped! And i know its not tooo likely, but i hope Lyss and Micky can come!!!
