Us! ...Our Place

Hello to everyone! First and foremost - thank you for traveling to Austin over your Thanksgiving Day weekend to help us celebrate our marriage. We will never forget it!


So our blog post comes at a time of settling into our new apartment. We're not quite ready to share pictures of it as we're still working on finding everything a place. Instead we thought it would be fun to play a little game. We've taken photos of things in our apartment in macro mode. You get to guess what you think it is and we'll take pictures of the rooms these items are in once we get everything presentable :-).

Oh yeah,and we went on our honeymoon cruise in the Caribbean (Bahamas, Curacao, and Aruba). Hannah was thankful for the motion sick medicine they had on board when the captain came over the intercom and said that we would be under a gale force wind warning. In fact, the ship ran out of motion sick medicine during the cruise due to a rather windy ride. On the cruise, service was the name of the game. The ratio was 1 service person to every 3 passengers. Needless to say our meals were regularly four courses and full of silverware we'd never seen. The highlights were the excursions we took on the islands (kayaking in the Bahamas, touring the distillery and caves in Curacao, and snorkeling in Aruba), the 24/7 pizzeria and international cafe with warm yummy cookies before bed, and the Crown Grill where we had the best Fillet Mignon ever topped with salts from around the world! Here are a few pictures. First is a picture of the cruise ship as we rode the tender to Princess Cays in the Bahamas.

Here is the game. Let's put your guesses in the comments and that way we can see who gets the answers correct!

Know that we think of you often and pray that you enjoy health in this new year!
