Ok guys, so tomorrow is my first time flying somewhere alone....AND I'M FREAKING OUT!!!!!!!!!! Sabrina, Tyler, and Tristan are taking me to the airport...thank goodness! Hopefully they can help me if I need it. The only thing I'm worried about is not having something crucial, like my boarding pass (which is packed away in my carry-on with my other boarding pass when I get to Charlotte). I'm really worried that something is going to go wrong when I'm not in WV and I won't have anyone there with me........
Everything is paid for, so I shouldn't have to worry about paying for anything (and my suitcase is ~40 lbs., so I'm good in that department. Pray they don't lose my luggage when I switch planes in Charlotte. And I've heard that Charlotte is a pretty big airport...watch me have to run from one end of the airport to another within 10 minutes. That would definitely be my luck haha. Well, I will try to keep you guys updated. I'm going to try to blog while in Maryland.
Love you guys! I will see you in 2 weeks!!!!

happy father's day!!
As you all know, today was father's day. i spent a few hours with my daddy and grandma, then came home and went to mamaw and papaw ellis's house. i didnt take any pictures today :( but here is a picture of something i painted last friday at The Pottery Place
It's called a medium-sized nesting tray, but I decided that I wanted it to be my cookie tray :) I can't wait to get it back this coming Friday so I can make cookies and put them on it haha
Anyways, for those of you who havent heard about The Pottery Place, it is a place that recently moved to Pullman Square (it used to be on 1st Street and 6th Avenue) and you can paint pieces of pre-made pottery, from 4x4-inch tiles to piggy banks to XL platters, any color you want. It's a really great place to go if you want to make something special for that special someone lol I've made a garden stake for my boyfriend's mom, multiple tiles for different people, a plate for my grandma (I painted a family tree on it with birds on the branches), an ice cream bowl for Terry, and magnets for my boyfriend and Sabrina. I'll try to find some pictures of them and post them (keep in mind that most of these haven't been fired in the kiln yet so they look a little different now than in these pictures lol).

hey, hey, hey!!
hello everyone!
We are back from the cruise! It went by wayyy too fast, but we had an AWESOME time! I took over 350 pictures with my phone, and mom and terry took over 100 pictures with their camera! that's a LOT of pictures...here are some:
This is our ship, the Carnival Dream. It is currently their newest and largest ship. They are making two more ships after this one.
This is a picture of the multiple slides on the ship. One turns into a big bowl that you go around in 2-3 times. Terry came into the bowl so fast that he almost didnt stop haha
Terry and I on the 12th deck before we left Port Canaveral
Here is 1 of the pools that was in the middle of the ship, and the ginormous movie screen that they played concerts, movies, and very pretty scenery on. I watched Julie & Julia one night out there. So fun!
This is the view from the 10th deck down to the 3rd deck. There are four glass elevators to the left. They were really neat to ride in.
This is the sunrise on the very first morning after getting on the ship. We were so close to Nassau, Bahamas (about an hour or less away). You can't really tell, but there's a little bit of the island is the far, far distance lol just along the top of the water
We found this in one of the shop areas. Here's trev haha
THEY HAVE BURGER KING!!! lol
This is one of the pictures we took on the catamaran while we were on our way to the first snorkeling spot. I really thought that I would have freaked out about snorkeling in such deep water, but I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Trevor freaked out a little at first because the guy basically threw him into the water before he was ready. He was fine after about 15 minutes, then it was like he was a natural and had been snorkeling for years! It was GREAT!
Here is the coral reef that we snorkeled over. There were tons of fish around it.
This is the beach we visited after snorkeling. Isn't it beautiful?
Look at how beautiful the water is! I wish I was still there...
FOUND A STARBUCKS!!!!
Trevor and mom at dinner on the second or third night!
Trevor and Terry...
Mom and I at dinner...
Terry and I...
This is the casino on the ship. You are able to gamble at sea if you are 18 or older, so Terry gave me a $20 and I went to work. I played the penny slots first, but had to bet 20 cents each time. At one point I won up to $12.04 (+ the $20 I already had, so I was up to $32.04!), so I left that machine to go cash in. When I left the machine, I felt like I wanted to play some more so I found some different machines to play at. At a different one, I had got down to 50 cents (I had lost almost EVERYTHING!), but this machine was really cool. There were 5 reels or whatever they are, and if you got BONUS on two reels, they locked those and let the other three spin once to see if you could get one or more BONUS's. If you got another BONUS, the machine gave you FIFTEEN FREE SPINS! how awesome is that? So I just so happened to get 15 extra spins (plus some since I got a couple more BONUS's in those 15 spins). In the end, I ended up winning $12.96 cents :) pretty good for a first timer, especially since I was down so much!
Here is a picture I took of the picture we had taken after dinner one night. We clean up nicely if you ask me!
The back of the ship while we were sailing. The second pool was located back here. Both pools were salt water pools
Here we are pulling into St. Thomas on the fourth day of our trip!
YEA, MON!!
WENDYS!!!!! lol
Ok, this guy totally saw me taking a picture, so he decides to step in and pick his nose....awesome.
Here is a really great picture of our entire ship. we were a couple miles from the port and there was an open area for people to go to the ocean so I took a picture :)
The kids here were still in school here.
You're Welcome! :)
Pulling into St. Maarten. There are two sides to this extremely small island: the Dutch side (where they spell it St. Maarten) and the French side (where they spell it St. Martin). The island is 37 square miles, with the Dutch side being the smaller of the two sides.
Welcome the St. Maarten :)
Everything in this shop is made out of bamboo! sheets for your bed, shirts, towels, etc.
Tommy Hilfiger
Polo Ralph Lauren
A cute hotel
MCDONALDS!!! I saw it about a mile away :) lol it was two stories long. I got a kit kat mcflurry. They didn't mix it up like we do here, and they added a layer of hot fudge under the kit kat pieces lol it was YUMMY!!!! Oh, and they sold Beer here, and chicken wings lol
Haagen-Daz <3
Lacoste
an AWESOME candy store. Everything was 3cents/gram, and he had EVERYTHING!!!
The picture doesn't do it justice, but this lizard was big! lol
Mom and Terry on our last snorkeling trip
This is the sail that was on our catamaran
Mine and Trevor's room. It had NO windows so unless I set an alarm, we never knew what time it was! lol
A pretty sunset. I took this on the serenity deck. That was the "Adults Only" deck. It was very pretty!
I found out that I can FLOAT!!!!! I'm a terrible floater lol
It was Trevor's birthday the last day we were on the ship, so mom suprised him by ordering a cakem and they delivered it to him during our dinner. Our waiter made him ears our of this napkin and put it on his head lol
When we got back to Florida, mom and Terry agreed to take me to DOWNTOWN DISNEY!!!! yayyyyyyy!! my very favorite part of the whole trip hahaha
ALRIGHT!!!! that's a lot of pictures for you guys to check out so let me know what you think of them!! :)
