And the end of march!

The beginning of March we were in Memphis, the next week we had friends come in, the next week we were in Tampa leaving on a cruise, last week we were in Memphis again.. and this week, is the end of March! Whirlwind trips, but I'm ready to settle down and get things organized and get back to meal planning! But that probably won't happen.. This weekend Kenneth's parents are coming in, next weekend is Easter, the next weekend we will be in Memphis helping Laura and Ben move into their house, the next weekend we don't have anything going, and then the weekend after that is my birthday.. April won't be slow either!

The cruise was a lot of fun! I will say I do like Carnival better though. I thought the hallways where the rooms were larger and not so curvy. Also the atrium seems bigger on Carnival. The shows are good on both ships, and RC does have an adults only place which was very peaceful. I don't know if its because Ive been on Carnival seven times.. and I'm spoiled or what. Also they never sang at dinner! Almost every night on Carnival there is some singing! :( And the showers seemed smaller too!

We visited Cozemel, Mexico and swam with sea turtles! I also got some Mexican Vanilla! Best stuff! Already made a batch of choc chip cookies for Kenneth's bad day he had on Wed :( I enjoyed snorkling a lot! Our port to Costa Maya got canned because the waves were so bad, which meant we were on the ship for 4 days and in port 1.. blah! But we didn't mind the sun, and the waves weren't bad. But I did want to get a pair or tanzinite earings and look at the price of diamond earings in Costa Maya. Oh well, another reason to go back! :)




When we got back we drove 900 miles.. from Tampa, to Murfreesboro, and then to Memphis. We found out when we turned on our phones that Kenneth got an email from a company he had applied to and want to work for. They set up the interview for Friday, and since we were already driving 10 to 11 hours, just figured to make a day of it. We swung into the Boro around 7, got clean clothes, dinner, and some more books to read. And arrived in Memphis around 10:30 that night. Not bad considering we left Tampa port around 9:30 after getting cleared! :)

During this trip, we were able to see what our future house would look like.. I'm am now SET on the Chateau layout! I'm in love! We visited the church that we would start attending. And we saw Hunger Games. It was a wonderful, unexpected, great weekend! And on that note, I'm going to get to cleaning my apartment. But I've leave you with a picture of what my future kitchen that will be in the house.. I'm literally drooling over all the counter space and open concept!! :) The sink over looks the living room, and where the photo is being taken is where the breakfast area is! He didn't get the job, but its nice to know we have all our ducks lined up for that move in the near future. ;)



And one last thing.. M'boro is getting a Chedders!! :) Where the old Ryans used to be, next to Old Chicago and Target.. I'm one happy person right now!!
