~~~Just Cruisin'~~~

    Thursday and Friday were days at Sea. We learned a dance so we could be in a flash mob which was really fun to do. I finished my book called Bitterblue, the 3rd in a series called Graceling, Brian finished reading a book called Tell No One.

Our underwater camera sometimes still has water on it when we take pictures! Whoops!

We did lots of snoozing and reading

Our "adopted" family  

     Friday Morning we got up early (around 5:45) to watch the sunrise.. it was absolutely stunning. I love watching it rise on the ocean. Around 7 am, Brian and I watched as the ship went right into a storm. For the next 45 minutes it poured.. Like buckets and buckets. Water was running everywhere! There was lots of lightning and thunder as well. Brian and I were the only ones-ONLY ones that stayed on deck to play in the rain and then watch it. We heard people complaining about how terrible it was that the last day of their vacation was ruined. I couldn't help but think about how it only enhanced ours. It was so beautiful!
    Then as suddenly as it came-the sun came out and dried up all the rain! It was awesome! Half the ship was just waking up and had no idea that it had even rained! It was just such a tender mercy to me and a beautiful.. just beautiful!
 

Recap on all our towel decorations!

    Above are our awesome stewards! They were so sweet! IMade is from Indonesia! and Elena is from Macedonia! They were the sweetest spirits! I really wish that I would have had more opportunities to get to know them better! We gave them both a Book of Mormon-just wanting to share our happiness with them!

These are our AWESOME waiters! Zin is from China, Edy and Freddy are both from Indonesia!

   Below is another cruise ship.. so cool to see how they are lit up at night!     Sad that our vacation is over! But SO grateful for the opportunity we had to go! It was wonderful!
