To think this time last year we were getting married at the Top of the Stratosphere in Las Vegas and having our dream Destination Wedding! =D Time sure did fly...loving every minute of it! For our Anniversary Jake bought me 1 carat diamond earrings from Zales and we are going back to the Moto GP (motorcycle race) in Indianapolis in August.

Honeymoon
imdawn's Caribbean Cruise Grand Cayman-Part 2
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 GRAND CAYMAN We booked the Royal Dolphin Swim excursion independently with Dolphin Discovery-this is the only excursion we didn't book through Carnival and I was a little worried about it since we had to worry about the time, our own transportation, if we didn't make port-trying to reschedule (they didn't do refunds only a one year credit)...but absolutely no problems we woke up and it was a GORGEOUS day in Grand Cayman!!! The reason we didn't book through Carnival was because Carnival didn't offer the ROYAL DOLPHIN SWIM only the Encounter I believe it was...and we wanted to do it all! This is what the Royal Dolphin Swim includes: Foot Push, Dorsal Tow, Kiss, Dolphin Song, Handshake, Free Time with Dolphins. It was soooooooo worth it! I think it was $160 per person and that included free admission to the Turtle Farm across the street as well. So we tendered into Grand Cayman at 9:00ish walked around taking pictures and of course tracked down Big Black Dick...to my surprise there was more than one Big Black Dick in town...(he gets around apparently) so I got a picture with both of them-mature I know (and wouldn't you know I think those pictures got almost as many comments on Facebook as our Dolphin ones LOL!) Our excursion was at 11:00 a.m. and I wasn't sure exactly how far away Dolphin Discovery was so we started looking for a cab (not realizing that Grand Cayman was behind so we were WAY early) We found a cab and he charged us $31 for both of us...now here is the funny part on the way back we were only charged $5 for both of us (that cab driver drove like a maniac though-laughed my butt off I didn't know they bargained on cab prices..) Ok we got to Dolphin Discovery and had about an 1 1/2 hours to kill at the turtle farm-hey better early than late I suppose! It was pretty neat to see, but definitely doesn't take an 1 1/2 hours to go through. It's Dolphin time!!! We get suited up and watch a short video and we are ready to swim with the dolphins! What an experience-I highly recommend it! Stay tuned for our other ports and excursions from the cruise! |

Honeymoon
imdawn's Caribbean Cruise Honeymoon Part 1
We got married back on May 26th, 2009 if you want to know more about us or our wedding see http://www.momentville.com/dawn_jake so our Honeymoon cruise is almost an Anniversary Cruise haha what can I say, we booked it in advance with the super saver rate-HELLO balcony room!! Besides I am a PLANNER -I like to look forward to a vacation for a long time so booking this cruise in September was perfect for us and definitely gave us something to look forward to over the long cold snowy winter of Northern Michigan! March 14th, 2010 When we first pulled up and saw the Legend-it is JUST LIKE EVERYONE SAYS-the ship looks HUGE! We were sooooo excited! We arrived at the port at around noon and went through the process of the lines and as soon as we got on the ship "PICTURE!" Im a picture-a-holic. We were in AWE and had no idea what or where to go but we were loving it already! If you ever take a cruise out of Tampa don't miss when the cruise ship goes under the Skyway Bridge! I loved the formal dress up evening too so much fun! Stay tuned for the excursions and ports we stopped at! |

Ask a Question
Anyone else gain a few since saying "I Do?"
So we got married in May 2009 and it is now the end of December...I have gained more than a couple pounds since our wedding and I am going crazy...especially since I REALLY went nuts over the holidays eating everything in sight...well now the holidays are over and our Honeymoon cruise is just a couple months away...(March 14th) I am so nervous I wanted to be the size I was the day we got married, but I don't know if that's going to happen.
Am I the only one that gained weight after they got married??? I didn't think it would happen, but a couple pounds every week really adds up and I am so depressed and mad at myself for letting myself go. Here is to hoping I can lose 10-15 in a couple months..wish me luck! |

 Me and Donny Osmond 5-26-09 Las Vegas Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson 2009 DWTS winners Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson 2009 DWTS winners    |
YAY-Donny Osmond won DWTS!!
We met him on our Wedding Day in Vegas!!!
How exciting that Donny Osmond won Dancing With The Stars ;) I'm still in love with Demetri Chaplin from So You Think You Can Dance...(who did dance with probably the better partner Mya), but I actually met and got my picture with Donny Osmond on our Wedding Day....so I was rooting for Donny to win this season and I thought it was about time that his partner Kym Johnson finally won too. =D Thoughts? Does anyone else watch that show??  |

I am 3rd row-last one The ones that showed up for the Reunion in 2009 =)       |
Ask a Question
Class Reunion-did you have yours???
It doesn't seem like it's been 10 years since I've been in High School, but I guess it has! Time flies huh?! It's weird how much everyone has changed-most were married WITH kids...what a difference 10 years makes. ;)
I did enjoy High School, but I also was happy to graduate -I was Class Treasurer my Junior and Senior Years -I was Prom Princess my Junior Year For Mock Elections our Senior Year I was voted: "Most Cheerful", "Never on Time" (lol), "Class Clown", "Talks too Much", "Class Prankster", and "Worst Driver" (lol) Did you have a Class Reunion yet? How many years have you been out of school? Did you go-are you going to? |
