Hamilton Happenings: Can You Believe It!?

Let me tell you how much I needed a break from weekly blogging. okay, are you ready?.... A LOT.
Yes, it's a little silly that sitting down and writing a few lines is tiring; but for the last few weeks, Jayse and I have been so busy that there have been many days in a row where I DON'T OPEN MY COMPUTER!

WHAT!?

But here is the important thing: i'm back.

To give you a litte run down of our weeks:

**We went on the "haunted" tour at the Queen Mary.
  • No real ghosts.
  • No great history lesson.
  • Real lesson learned: the ship is fantastic & interesting, go on the really corny ghost tour because it's hilarious, but don't do the "Haunted Passport" (OH! We did learn the the Queen Mary is 1 and a half times the size of the Titanic! That ship was so tiny compared to our luxury cruise lines of today!)
  • Pictures seen here:

creepy (haunted) onboard pool. this is wear the fancy people showed off those hot, full-body bathing suits.


The Observation Bar


The Music Room


There was a party near the end of our visit. You can't really tell here, but we were surrounded by men & women wearing pink feather boas.


gorgeous


Kicking ghost butt!


sorry you don't look this cool.


**We drove to Texas...and back... in just a few days
  • We left on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. when I got off work
  • We returned Friday at 5:30 a.m.... For me to go to work at 9.
  • Jayson did the math: Our trip lasted 109 hrs, We were in Fort Worth 65 hrs 24 mins, and we were in the car 43 hrs 36 mins. How 'bout them apples?
  • These pictures were taken:

Adler's cross-country set up


How Adler spent the last 30 minutes of our drive to Texas. I guess she was ready for it to be done with (btw she has NEVER been in the front seat before, but she just climbed up there like it was her job)


amazed out how awkward and creepy this photo turned out

Jayson and his parents

**We went to see Our Idiot Brother, and loved it!

**We played Mafia!

**We went to the beach!

And other than that:

WE WORKED!

Lots and lots of work. Jayson working at his amazing job at Cassidy and me at Calamigos (where i'm now full time)! It's been a little weird because we have opposite schedules, but it's been working out. We have the evenings off together! Also, to spend more time together, when one person is getting ready for work, the other wakes up even if he/she doesn't have to. It gives us an extra hour or so. All of it just makes us feel more LA because it seems like everyone here has a crazy schedule!

Life has been good, and I am extremely thankful. God has made it more than obvious that joy comes from Him. He has given us both extreme amounts of patience over the last few months, and we have never once gone through a moment where we were at odds with each other or upset at our move. In fact, with these experiences we've had over the last 5 months, God has taught us even more how thankful we are for our marriage and for this adventure He's sent us on!

thanks for being patient with my non-blogging weeks!
