Apologies....

I'm not sure if anyone reads this anymore since I NEVER blog....I'm horrible at it. So I'm sorry if you do!! Here's a little update of the Hamblins....

We recently got home from a trip to California. It was amazing. We started off the trip in Monterey at the Hamblin beach house for a family reunion. It was fun for me to get to know a bunch of the Hamblins that I've never met before. We spent time at the Monterey Bay aquarium, the Warf, taking some cool hikes, and of course the beach! My camera was MIA for half the trip so I don't have any pictures of Monterey. I'm bummed. My most favorite part of Monterey was the awesome beach bonfire we had in Carmel. I love a good fire and smores!!!

The rest of the family headed home after a couple of days and me and Jake decided to head up to San Francisco. I had never been before and seriously could not wait!! We did and saw so many things so I won't bore you with details...but here are some pictures!

Wedding Pictures!!

FINALLY!!

Cozumel

Our last stop was Cozumel....we love love loved this stop! It was by far our favorite. We went on an amazing snorkeling adventure out in the middle of the ocean. We saw everything from sea turtles and beautiful fish to jelly fish...which happened to sting both of us on several occasions..

After snorkeling we stopped at a little island for a Delicious lunch! We got to relax there for a while in some hammocks on the beach before heading back to the ship.

We are planning on getting scuba certified this year and would LOVE to go back and go scuba diving there!!

Costa Maya

We did a lot of relaxing in Costa Maya. We managed to get away from the touristy cruise ship area and took a cab to down town. We hung out on the beach, had a fabulous lunch right next to the ocean, and Jake rounded up a guy to serenade me while we ate!

Belize

Despite the fact that it was FREEZING half the time, we had a blast on our honeymoon! We took a cruise and our first stop was BELIZE....

It was beautiful! We went on an amazing hike through the jungle and then tubed down a river through this HUGE cave. SO FUN! Our tour guide was hilarious and nick named me and Jake Little Jaguar and Big Jaguar. We would randomly hear him shout out our "names" to make sure we were doing ok in the cave. Its pitch black in the cave so you have to wear these sweet helmets with head lamps. We also were required to wear closed toe shoes...we both showed up in sandals so we had to rent these disgusting, USED, and still wet water socks....

This is one of the ferry boats that brought us into Belize from the ship.

We wish we could have stayed there longer and will definitely be planning a trip back!

Engagements

We had an amazing photographer! She was so much fun to work with and did a great job on our photos. Here are a couple of our favorites...enjoy :)

Two become ONE....

well....we finally tied the knot!!! We couldn't have asked for a better day. It was perfect. I know if I was reading this I would be gagging, but it really was....everything went so smoothly. And even the minor details (like my zipper breaking) didn't even matter! It was so great to see our family and friends all gathered together so celebrate such a great moment in our lives. Thanks to everyone for coming and making it that much more special!
