Alisha Graduation

Alisha graduates tonight! We are so proud of the young lady she has turned out to be.  Seems like yesterday when she came into my life.  She was 6 years old.  She has excelled in school. Not only with her school work but Cheerleading and Track.
Her scholarships totaled $53,000. What a blessing that will be to her.  She is enrolled at OBU and will be a cheerleader as well. 

 

 

 

Alisha is beautiful both on the inside and outside. She is a awesome young lady.  Am proud to call her my bonus daughter! 

 

Cozumel Mexico

Enjoyed looking at the plants and flowers.

Cozumel Mexico

I did take photos but I need to figure out how to get them over here...lol

 

Nancy and I did the Dolphin encounter. Which was okay.  I am not sure if I liked the dolphin kissing me.  Although the crowd got a laugh out of it when he tried to French kiss me.  Uugh!! I would tell you that if you had always wanted to kiss a dolphin then this is the excursion for you.  If I took Logan with me then I would do this again.  We had food and drinks included with the excursion.  The food was okay but not wonderful.  I wish I had went ahead and bought a photo of me and the dolphin and didn't.  Oh well.  I will always have the memories.

  
My next cruise I plan on taking a lot more photos! I realized I didn't take near enough.  Guess I got caught up in what I was doing and just forgot to snap away.  So many different things I will do on my next cruise.  Of course I didn't get to do everything I wanted so I see me attempting to take one cruise a year...If I go off season I can go solo (which fits me to a tee).  Prices are so much cheaper October thru April.  But with me work schedule I can not do another April cruise.  They were so darn busy while I was gone that they will tie me to a chair if I attempt vacation January thru May.  LOL

My only wish is that Mr. C. would go with me. Which will never happen.  He would not enjoy the ship at al.  He isn't as adventurous as I am.  If he can't drive to the destination in 3 hours or less he isn't happy.  Me if traveling was free you'd never see me again.  I would go and explore everywhere!

So I will tell you this extra weight I am carrying around  did affect my sightseeing.  I so need to start exercising but don't.  Around home and work it doesn't seem to bother me much.  Walking the pier and touring The Uxmal Ruins was difficult on me.  I hate that I let my self get extremely out of shape.

 

My 48th Birthday!

 

Happy Birthday to me!

Yes I took a selfie.  Which I normally don't do cause I am so overweight.  But I feel like I need to have some pictures of me for my grandbabies.  When ever that should happen.  Am glad I have Logan who calls me Memaw.  He will always have a special place in my heart. 

Everyday that I wake up I thank God.  He has blessed me with far more than I deserve.

I don't have any special plans for this birthday.  I feel like I already celebrated it by going on the cruise.  Which was a life long dream of mine. 

Progreso Mexico!

Nancy and I on way to Uxmal Ruins. Super excited about hearing and seeing the history.

 

Me with part of the ruins in background.

Loved looking at this ruin!

Great place for pineapple drink and guacamole! Plus it was air conditioned! 

Am a little hot as it was 106 degrees today!

Hacienda Del Henequen

Enjoyed this stop very much.  We got to try their food and two different drinks.  One drink was rice milk and it was really good.  Wasn't much of a fan of the food but at least I gave it a try.  It just seemed kinda heavy to me. 

I would tell anyone that was interested in history of ruins to take this tour.  The bus ride was long about 1 hour and 45 minutes one way.  Did buy quite a few souviners such as key chains, postcards, and a couple of knic nacs  and a cross. 

Yes I would go back to Progreso but do believe I will do another excursion.  Just so I could see more history.

 

Cozumel Mexico

Cozumel Mexico

 

In Cozumel Nancy and I did the Dolphin encounter.  It was quite different to kiss a Dolphin. I will admit that I hadn't given a thought to kissing a Dolphin till we booked this excursion. My Dolphin wanted to French kiss me OH MY!  Nancy had a blast as this was always a dream of hers. 

Would I do this excursion again?  If I had Logan with me yes for sure we would do this. But I do not see Blake and Jessica going on a cruise ever. 

I so wish that I had done the Underwater Oxygen Bar.  It looks like a experience to me!

 

 

Would you like to do something like this as a excursion?  The cost is only $38.00.. I so should have done this one! You bet I will do this on my next cruise.





                                             
                                                                       Fish Pedicure!
Yes Please!  I didn't get this done on my cruise but for sure will do this on next cruise!  What are your thoughts about doing a fish pedicure? 
                                       
                                                   

                                                                    As crazy as it seems I am planning another cruise.  Am leaning toward October 2016.  Only because the cruise is much cheaper than during peak months.  Am thinking we will do same cruise but I will do different excursions.  Just haven't made up my mind which ones.  Although I know I will be doing these two cool things for sure! 











                                                 

Cruise Trip

 

Chocolate melt away! 
This drink was too die for and I can't wait to be back on The Triumph to get another one.

Dr Seuss breakfast.  It was very enjoyable and had fun watching the kiddos with the characters.

 

I can't believe I am finally on the ship!! I was very emotional as I had always wanted to take a cruise.

Finally a long life dream comes true and it was almost overwhelming!

 

Isn't this a awesome sight? The water is so beautiful and such a vivid blue.  Sure could tell when we got away from Galveston Texas!

 

I am already planning on another cruise with my Aunt Kathy.  I spent a lot of money on this cruise but found out you really don't have to spend lots to enjoy it.  I plan on buying some gift cards from Lowes that is for Carnival ships and saving them till my cruise.  That way I can put them on my ship and sale card.  Easy way to save money toward the trip.

 

                                          

Alisha Watermelon Queen

 

Am so proud of Alisha. She is running for Watermelon Queen. This a huge deal in our small community.  Can't believe she is a senior this year.  Time has flown by so fast for all of us. Am trying to help sell some tickets. Have figured out my salesman duties aren't going very well.  

Alisha painted the side of this building for advertising. She did a great job. 

Sure hope people show up and vote for Alisha May 1st.
