Day Tres

Hola! Como estas?!

Day 3 here in Punta Cana has been stormy. The entire day has been filled with showers. Unfortunately, we were unable to go sailing more because of the lack of wind than the rain showers, but oh well! We're trying again Friday.

Tomorrow we are going off roading. I'm a little nervous about getting so muddy -- and letting Chase drive! It could be scary!!

Last night we had dinner at The Marlin, which is a Seafood/Steak place. The food was okay, but the service was slow slow slow. We were there for 2 or so hours...at least we didn't have anywhere else to be! The service here is definately not the same as in America!

During a break in the rain today, we hung out in the lukewarm tubs...we thought it would be a great idea, but they were almost as cold as the pool...and maybe colder than the ocean! Oh well!

Overall, we're still having fun. I have some goop in my ear or something and it's really bugging me...so any tips on how to get it out would be much appreciated. I think it's water from swimming, but, it's been 24 hours or so now with no relief, so I'm not sure. I even bought ear drops for $18 hoping they would help...oh well!

Hasta luego!!!

Still beautiful...

What a wonderful world the Dominican is.

Chase and I had to get up early (8:30) to make an orientation at 9AM about our return flights as well as the excursions here! We're thinking of doing something...but are still debating what. Chase wants to go barreling through the forest on ATVs and come back covered in mud...which sounds fun, but I don't know that I have clothes to ruin!!! We'll see!

Today, we went kayaking, which was fun. The ocean is so pretty and clear. We even found some coral...but no fish. We signed up for sailing tomorrow so that should be fun. We also spent a few hours near the swim up bar drinking and swimming. We even met some fellow Americans, which, is rare here! Hardly anyone speaks English, but I think I've heard about 10 other different languages!

Tonight, we have dinner at a seafood/steak restaurant, should be yummy! Then, I think we're going to go see a show at the hotel's theater - it suppose to be a circus tonight! Fun!

Well, that's long enough! Hope all you Coloradoans are enjoying the tornadoes!!!

Punta Cana!

After a torturous night of flying, Chase and I landed in Punta Cana around 1:30 this afternoon. It is gorgeous here!

Chase and I are concerned about hurricanes and Punta Cana. Both the airport and our hotel are completely open and the airport even had a straw type room! Even some of the restaurants in our hotel are completely open....it's nice when the breeze is blowing, but it is very humid!

Our room got upgraded to a suite, so it's huge and gorgeous. We have a wonderful view of the pool and ocean from our deck. They brought us a fruit tray and bottle of wine this afternoon. Everyone is so kind and thoughtful. They even have a flyer out that is congratulating us, along with the other honeymooning couples! Very cool! It's even sorta fun trying to navigate through the language barrier as they don't speak a lot of English here...

We ate dinner tonight at the buffet. There was so much food, but, the names were all in Spanish, so we had a hard time figuring out what was what. We ended up venturing out a little bit -- I even tried Octopus. Tomorrow, we'll get reservations for one of the restraunts they have on site here.

Everything is just wonderful, and we're so excited for our week here! I'm going to try and upload our pictures here: http://chaseandholly.shutterfly.com/ so I don't have to upload them to 100 different places. We'll see if it works.

EEEEEEEEEK!

I LOVE BJ, Howie and Erica on the Alice 105.9 morning show.

I just won tickets to their listener appreciation show this Friday to see the PLAIN WHITE T's! I am so excited I could start screaming any second. I've been bouncing off the walls all morning. They are the best!!!!

AMAZING!

So, I just have to share some wonderful news with the world because I am OH SO excited!

Chase and I have an ancient video camera. It's so ancient, I refuse to use it. It's huge, it's heavy, the tapes are expensive, I can't hook it up to the computer, and I don't have a VCR to replay the tapes on. It's pretty much useless. We've taped a few of Hunter's important moments up to this point, but mostly, they sit in the dark in the closet not being watched!

For the wedding, we sent out an email (you may remember this) to our family and friends asking if anyone had a digital video cam we could borrow for the wedding to record our ceremony. Low and behold, there were a few out there, and I was excited just about being able to tape the wedding...AND THEN, it got even better!

Chase's WONDERFUL Aunt and Uncle in Utah bought us one with a hard drive for our wedding gift! And they were even nice enough to mail it to us early so we could get started using it! We are both THRILLED, and Hunter LOVES it too. We couldn't be more thankful to Paul and Sue for this awesome gift which will be used over and over again.

So, get ready for some awesome videos of Hunter coming soon!

Our day at the zoo...plus the snow pics from before!

In serious need of an update!

Time really flies. It's been so long since I updated. Oh well. Life happens.

These are from our snow storm last weekend. It was 80 one day...then, the next day, we had a blizzard! I LOVE Colorado! Unfortunately, I was sick all weekend, but Chase and Hunter had some fun in the snow with the dogs! It was Hunter's real first time playing in the snow this season...and last I hope! His snowpants are getting too small!

I'm ready to go Mom!

Are my boys not the best?!? I LOVE this picture of them...even without faces!

This was part way through the storm! I think we ended up with about 15 inches or so! It was all gone 2 days later leaving us with GREEN GREEN grass!

I love Jetta's ears in this one!

Jetta and Miley size comparison...to me, Miley is TINY, but she's actually really tall. She's just VERY skinny!
