Puerto Rico








The girls didn't have school Friday and they got out early on Thursday so we decided to go to the beach. We flew down to San Juan, Puerto Rico on Thursday evening. We stayed at the Wyndham Rio Mar resort, it was really nice. We got to play in the ocean and swim in the pool. The kids had a great time. Matt and I had a good time in the ocean and the pools, but we absolutely hate the San Juan airport!!! It is very crowded and very chaotic. There is a casino and a hotel attached to the airport. They stack all the luggage in a big pile. I am surprised that our luggage made it on the flight with us. We made it to security without too much trouble but then they didn't want to let us bring Sophia with us. They said she needed a boarding pass so we told them that she is a baby and thus does not need a boarding pass. They said well then it needs to say on our boarding pass that we have an infant. Well we fly standby and do not have actual boarding passes so there is no mention of a baby on the piece of paper that we have to get through security. We were trying to explain this to the security lady and she asked us how they were supposed to know we didn't kidnapp her. She said, " We don't want people kidnapping babies and trying to take them back into the US" I told her we had her birth certificate but she said that is not good enough it has to be on the boarding pass, so again I told her we don't have boarding passes. I finally walked off to put my shoes back on and Matt discussed it with a manager. Finally we were able to bring our daughter through security with us. We got on the plane and flew home, I have never been so happy to get out of an airport as I was to get out of San Juan :D

Cruise



OK, so I am the happiest girl in the world!!! A couple months back New Kids on the Block announced that they were going to do a cruise. I got online to get tickets but it was all sold out. I was so bummed! Then a couple days ago I got an email saying that there were cancellations and they now had a couple rooms available. I called Matt and asked if he wanted to go with me, then hopped online and reserved us a spot. I am so excited. The cruise goes to the bahamas, it is three days. We will get to see NKOTB in concert, we will get to meet them :D, and they will also be onboard doing other activities too.
I am lucky that I have a great Dad that is going to come out and watch our kids for us so that we can go!!! The girls are really excited to see Grandpa and Margaret. I think they would rather see them than go on a trip themselves.

The Day After Yesterday



Alright, completely freakish weather!!! Yesterday was 68 degrees here in ATL. We played outside and worked in the yard all day, My pretty Daffodils were blooming and looked really good. We bought some ferns to hang from the porch. Today we woke up to freezing rain and temps in the 30's. After church it started snowing and it hasn't stopped yet. We probably have about an inch of snow on the ground, it is beautiful but slightly wierd concidering the nice warm weather yesterday.
