Honduras!!

This entry is long overdue...Andy and I went to Honduras with Jacob, Bert, Aaron, and Helen for 10 days in March. We had an awesome time!! Here are a few pictures....

Our first stop was Punta Sal - a national reserve


Jacob with a jungle spider




There were hermit crabs EVERYWHERE!!!


The boys climbed up really sharp rock (dried coral). Jacob couldn't go the distance due to his "girly feet." ;-)

Howler monkey. Andy and Aaron bashed on trees with rocks until the monkeys started to howl. Luckily, the monkeys didn't start to throw stuff at them!

Hanging out on the hammock


Andy showing off his climbing skills.


We spent most of the days out scuba diving. The water was crystal clear!!
On our down time, we lounged in hammocks, snorkeled, and played cards.



Enjoying the sunset while sitting on the boat's roof

It was Jacob's birthday while in Utilla!

There was a very small LDS church (it was actually a house- half of the house was where the missionaries lived and the other half served as the chapel) on the island. There were 16 members that attended church on Sunday. The members were so warm and loving.



Sunrise over Utilla


On our way back to the mainland, our ferry passed a sinking barge!! Those ships are HUGE and sink very fast!

We had such a wonderful time! It was a great vacation for the guys to take before they started work. I did take some time off of school to go to Honduras...a bad grade during my senior year or scuba diving and hanging out in the Caribbean?!?! Yeah, I definitely made the right decision.

The week of birthdays!!

We celebrated 3 birthdays the week of March 3- March 9 (mine, our good friend Justin's, and Andy's)!!

It all started celebrating my birthday at our house...

Our friends Justin and Sara--Sara planned a surprise party for Justin's birthday at their place on March 6


Before I knocked Spidy's head off









Gotta love embarrassing moments!


















Andy's birthday was on March 7




Andy's friends singing "happy birthday"













Andy and his funfetti cake!



To top it all off, Andy and I celebrated both of our birthdays up in Sandy. Mom and Steve decorated the house with balloons and a big banner saying, "Happy Trishandy Birthday!"


Our birthday cake...it was so good!!


Mom and Steve being Mom and Steve :-)


We had a busy, but wonderful week! And to end it all, Andy and I bought last-minute tickets to Honduras!!!

Hanging out with Family


Jo and Jeff came to Utah this past weekend, so we all (Andy, Tricia, Jo, and Bob-Jeff stayed home to be with his brother) went up and spent the day at Juli's house! We went bowling and then to play mini golf but the indoor course wasn't open yet...so we went and hung out at Juli's. Juli made us dinner and then we played Phase 10 Masters Edition.



Hanging Out at Toads

Pics from our honeymoon in Belize


I wish somebody told me that you look really dumb if you try and smile with a snorkel on. . .



Hugging a Nurse Shark (don't worry, they don't bite)


Andy with a Sting Ray



Andy dove down about 20 feet to catch this shark


Red Snapper (we ate him for lunch)


10 lb Baracuda (we ate him for lunch too)



Yellow Snapper



Little Snapper



Kayaking!



Beautiful.



Night Snorkeling (we saw octopus, squid, and giant lobster!)



Let's try this again...

Not sure how good I'm going to be at this whole blog thing since the first thing I did was erase our first one! Ha ha. Well....here goes nothing....
Andy and I are doing great. We are settled in our house--just in time to move in April! Andy is taking his office to Tampa, FL this summer. He's not looking forward to the humidity, but I'm definitely looking forward to the beaches!! He's keeping busy with work while I'm interning in the emergency room and intensive care unit at a nearby hospital.
We recently went on a cruise to Cozumel and Belize. We had a wonderful time parasailing and scuba diving (we swam with an octopus and pet a giant sea turtle!!) in Cozumel and snorkeling with sting rays in Belize. Andy is already planning our next adventure!

Beautiful Belize!!


Ping pong and mini golf kept us entertained while on the ship
