My once a year update?

I actually intend on keeping this up a little more, but who knows if that will actually happen. I seem to fade in and out of the online blog thing. I enjoy it because I can keep my friends and family updated, but it's hard to remember to make a post in the midst of my busy days.

I've been at Pres for a little over a year now. It went by so quickly, it's hard to believe that all that time has gone. As of yesterday I've had my house for a year, and that doesn't even seem right! I feel like I've been living here for a few months, not a whole year. Things are starting to come together a little more in my home. I finally bought a patio furniture set and started on sprucing up the downstairs bathroom (much thanks to my creative sister).

The patio set that I bought was great, and I was even surprised when I got home from my cruise to see that Daniel had taken everything out of the box and put it together while I was gone. A week later, I looked out at my backyard to see that the table's glass top was shattered all over the ground. I have no idea what happened, but I have an idea. To avoid unfair accusations I'll just keep it to myself. Speaking of which, I'm going to have the walls of my backyard built up. They are about four feet tall right now, which means that anyone can just hop right on over. My parents are replacing their patio set, so they gave me their old table as a nice gift to replace my broken one.

Work has been busy, too busy most of the time. It's not an easy job, and being understaffed makes everything just that much harder. I guess I'll have to wait prayerfully and see where God is going to take me from here. If he opens other doors, I might just look into them. It's so difficult to know where He wants my life to go, especially since I don't get a letter in the mail saying "Hey, Christy, I want you to work here for x amount of time, and then go here". Wouldn't that just be fantastic? A girl can dream. :)

And now for some pictures from the cruise I went on with my mom and sister! We went with Carnival to Cabo San Lucas.






This seagull was following me around on the side deck while I was taking pictures. Kinda cute.








These are the towel animals that they made in our room every night. The last one... well I'm not too sure what that was supposed to be. Maybe the new guy made that one? They put our sunglasses on them if we left them in the room, it was fun!







This was the captain's dinner night. The first three pictures are of the people we sat with for dinner every night. They were all good company.




Just hanging out on the deck by the pool. They had a buffet up there for lunch.




It was HOT in Cabo, but it was certainly beautiful. The sun was so bright out on the water, it was hard to keep my eyes open for the picture. The rock formations were really interesting.
