Happy Halloween!!!

Happy Boo Day!!!

WOW! What an exciting day...October 31st one of my favorite family days of all time!! Our night was filled with so many awesome surprises... we had trick or treaters and friends and family all together in one place!! Mom made a delicious dinner.. taco soup :O) and of course her delicious popcorn balls!!! And T made a yummy cake and an awesome dip!

Then the beautiful Gibbs family rang our doorbell and we made a night of it!! We went door to door...played games...and talked about all the fun stuff...

I am so sorry I do not have a lot of pictures... I got through about half the night then put my camera down... I didn't even get pictures of my fairy godmother :O( But she knows I Love her! By the way thank you for my Cookbook!!)

But I do want to share the pictures with you I DID get! HA HA

So here's to an amazing night with family and friends... There is nothing better and more valuable then spending time with the ones you love... God designed holidays such as this to be together and just experience the joy and love of family. Family is such a powerful and marvelous thing...I am SO blessed and thankful for the family and extended family God gave me....

So here they are!! ENJOY!

The Pumpkin Patch

Hello Blog World!

I am baaaaaaccckkkkk!!!! HAHA...

I know you missed me! Well anyways, heres an update on us... because I know you think we had fallen off the planet since our honeymoon! Believe me married life is bliss... We are having so much fun together! It is definately the most wonderful decision God has made in our lives. Im not saying its perfect, but it is definately wonderful and just completely WOW! Josh is happily working for the family bussiness, learning everything about in the in and outs of running it...I have been super busy with school! 20 units I am finding is quite difficult...yet managable...Fresno State needs to be covered in prayer right now, with all the budget cuts and things it is in a rough spot right now for faculty and students... I plan on graduating with my Bachelors in English in May!! I know what I will be doing after...but you will ahve to wait for that post!!!

Needless to say we are settling into life quite well...Life is busy but we wouldn't have it any other way!! Changes have definately been happening..which is a totally AWESOME thing...Nothing is better than following the will of God and knowing that you are doing what HE wants rather than what someone else wants for you.

Mom and Dad are doing great!! We have become quite the four-muskateers!! LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!

So we had the amazing opportunity to go to the Pumpkin Patch with the Egles Nest and Alisha and Jakey Boo...WOW what an amazing place! filled with trains, hayrides, and tons of little children! haha it was a wonderful day... here are some pictures :O)

HAHA T... PLEASE dont hate me... I couldn't resist!

Brooke and her cotton candy!!

My little Jakey Boo!

Awww.. I love this little guy

HAHA Love you Alisha!

Sorry the post was so long... but the ones in the future wont be!! Just had to get y'all updated!! LOVE YOU ALL TO THE MOON!!

LOVE, Josh and Bethany

Our Honeymoon!

Hey Guys!!! As promised..the Honeymoon Post!!! I took a TON of pictures, but here is just a recap of our fabulous trip! Notice how I do not have any pictures until we got to the ship..this is because the camera I took didn't have a memory card in it so Josh and I sarched high and lo..and sure enough we couldn't get one until we boarded in their camera shop... So thanks to Carnival Valor for hooking us up with a memory card! haha Enjoy the pics!! (Sorry there is so many... I couldn't decide!)

This is our suite! We were SO excited when we walked in...our jaws nearly hit the floor!

Us lounging by the pool! (you will find it was hard to get pics of the two of us together when it was just us two travling!)

At our formal night dinner ;O)

Our AMAZING waiter! Josh and I wanted to take him home with us!

Okay.. so the waiter brought us our cak and sang "happy honeymoon to you" and w had to kiss the ENTIRE song if we stopped they started again! haha

Josh with the camera!

Grand Cayman

Getting ready to go snorkeling and swimming with the wild stingrays!

So I just received these pictures in th mail..we didn't have a water camera so Josh and I ended up buying them from the guy that was on the boat with us :O) It took about 3 weeks for them to make it to Fresno from Grand Cayman.

Our favorite place... ROATAN HONDURAS!

For our excursion we booked a couples massage... well come to find out we went to someones house for the massage! The couple were origanally from America and they retired to Honduras... their house is HUGE!!

This is their backyard... we are sitting on their hot tub deck

Where they had prepared lunch for us :O) Their hospitality was absolutely amazing... We felt so blessed and welcomed into their home!

The view from our lunch

papaya, grilled shrimp, rice and black beans

Their dog!! RUFUS...he traveled on the boat.. and that was the other couple we were there with... never really saw them..but they were nice... just the 4 of us!

The marina where our taxi was waiting

BELIZE... we dont have a lot from belize becasue we went Cave tubing and I couldnt take a camera... SORRY!!

Well we were supposed to go to Cozumel Mexico but because of the swine flu we got to go to Key West! We were so excited.. well we had to go through customs and long story short we missed our excursion so we went and explored the town on our own! TONS of fun!
