Well we left on an afternoon flight and seats looked pretty good to go Salt Lake City (SLC) to Houston (IAH) and then on to Miami (MIA). We stopped by Brookstone in the IAH airport and used their massage chairs, which was so wonderful and much needed! We got into MIA about 11 pm. and because we didn't want to pay for hotels (being most of them were over $100) and trying to work out transportation, which I brilliantly worked out using the Public Bus so it only cost us $2 per person, except for the fact that it doesn't take you all the way to the Port so you have to walk a little ways (which includes two blocks and over the big bridge to the port) which really isn't hard at all. Which everyone kept saying its way too far to walk so Bruce decided on a taxi... which was freakin $10 just for like a 5 min. ride (those 2 blocks and over the bridge). So after he saw how short it was and pointless for a taxi he was upset, but it didn't help with the night before staying in the airport cause like I said earlier he gets grumpy as soon as we are in an airport and we didn't sleep very well in the MIA airport of course being there from 11pm to about 1030 am. so we immediately checked in for the cruise and went down to our room and slept until dinner. After which we explored the ship more. We also have some wonderful dinner partners... there were 6 spots to our table but we only filled 5...
there was Auvi from Isreal, which came by himself (which you should never do on a cruise and he later admitted that he wished he hadn't told his girlfriend not to come). and then Yuro and Jo (an Asian couple) from Boston. They were all really nice people... i just wasn't used to having other people at our table, because usually my family filled up the whole thing. Bruce wasn't used to it either, because he'd always gone just with work so it was hundreds of kids he worked with that he all knew and they actually took up most the cruise ship! Well the ship took of at 5pm and was on its way to Nassau, Bahamas! I'm excited cause i've never been there before!
His sister's name is Tamara and her husband's name is Wade... they have a cute, and hyperactive little boy Tommy, and an adorable, tries to be defiant, and who absolutely adores her older brother... Ashley.
Then we stayed over night in Tunica in the Harrah's hotel which was awesome! We got an increadible deal on it! 
In the morning we ate at their Paula Deans buffet! Which was sooo good but there was too much good food to eat that we walked away bellies hurting!
Then we drove the 4 hours to their house... the other fun thing is that they had guitar hero they were going to give the kids for christmas, but they wanted to test it and make sure it worked and all that so we cracked it out every night after they put the kids to sleep and talked about it in code during the day... 
haha and who knew but I am pretty much a pro at guitar hero, which is weird because when i've tried it before i totally sucked it up! :S Well it was fun Friday night I went with her to her GNO (girls night out)while men tried to have as awesome of a party as we did, but everyone knows women throw much better parties. I had so much fun at the GNO. It was at Tamara's friends house Leslie, her husband Brett (who to me looked like a younger version of Will Patton) was there and their adorable little son Austin. And her other friend Stephanie was there. They had mexican theme night so we had enchiladas that Leslie made, which were amazing! She also made some delicious Virgin Margaritas. Tamara and i brought Crepes with Neutella, they were delicious i have never had those before either. Saturday Tamara and I hung out going around to some cute little antique shops and lunch with the kids it was a lot of fun!
Look at my masculine husband and that chest hair! woo hoo! Haha!
We just load up the rodeo in the back with the sleeping bag and air matress and everything. We go up to some property in Morgan that Zacks grandparents own (or something like that if i remember right) 
well they are usually just one nighters and Zack and Meri bring up Zack's parent's (my aunt and uncle's) Ranger... a cute little go cart thing and we go ride around for a while. It is gorgeous up there! 
Well this time we also stopped by this huge rope swing that was a total blast! Every time we have gone up though we have a problem with Petey running off and it takes forever for us to find him! So if we take him up we have to tie him up! :( Poor Petey...
Well we hung out at my parents house a little bit that night because their house is the coolest place to be for halloween night... if not halloween parties! (Those are the best kinds of parties) Because my family builds a small fire in the driveway and serve hot dogs, hotchocolate, some candy, and my dad built a cool contraption of a big screen projector sheet that takes up the entire face of the garage and he has a projector inside the garage projecting the movie so that if people walk in front it doesn't disturb anyone else's movie! Pretty sweet in my opinion!
So it was just my dad, Bruce, and I we went to the usual spot I've always gone to with my dad and my family and whoever joins us up Farmington Canyon... it was so much fun! 
I went 3 times, Bruce went 4, and my dad went once... Mind you i didn't get experimental each time i went down it was just the ususal way... Bruce went down the usual way the first time. The second time he went down half way and then turned upside down and went down further and turned back around to finish. The third and 4th time he went down Ausi Style... (which if you didn't already know is basically jumping off face forward!) Which there is no freakin way in heck i think i will get the courage to do! 
This is Bruce's proof of Ausi Style!
