Days 2,3, and... I stopped counting

KRABI ROCKS!


After being bored to death in Phuket because we didn't have a car to get around (something I HIGHLY recommend on getting if you are planning to spend time there), we decided to hop on a local bus to get to the main bus station. It was about a 45 min bus ride with zero english speakers besides me and the hubs. Once we got off the local bus we wandered around with a fatty map in our hands, ended up having to take another little bus to the new bus station that had just opened up a few months prior and hopped on a mini van to Krabi. It was about a 4 hour drive there. We were lucky and got to sit up front with the driver. Yes... that was sarcasm... in case you were wondering who could possibly like sitting on a hump for 4 hours.

As soon as we saw the incredible limestone cliffs, our jaws dropped. It was one of the most incredible sights we've ever seen. 

We decided to stay in Ao Nang and travel to the various Islands because there were lots of cheap places to stay and TONS of cheap food vendors. I'm talking 40 baht pad thai people. Which is just a little over a dollar. 

We went on a couple of different Island tours...

Exploring the jungle

My scruffy Hubby


We snorkled, swam, explored caves, Dan freaked out when he saw a couple of snakes, we ate tons of Pad Thai (my personal favorite) and drank at least two smoothies a day. The smoothies here are amazing. Since the fruit is so sweet, all they put in it is the fruit, ice, and water. I really didn't think it was going to taste good at all when I watched them make it but let me tell you... it is like drinking heaven. And the best part is... It cost 20 baht. Less than a dollar people!

Our favorite place to go was Raleigh Bay. It was just a short boat ride away from Ao Nang and the food there was divine. 

This is my favorite Dessert EVER! Mango sticky rice!
We rented Kayaks one day and explored the huge limestone rocks around Raleigh Bay



This is the beach where we found a fertility cave... which explains how I got pregnant. 

These boats were my favorite

We were out there for like 3 hours

Yes... i am wearing Ray Bans

They take your order right there in the water.


Basically Krabi was a dream and I miss it terribly.

Dog (commonly reffered to as Angel)

At my house lives a Dog.  (named "angel") The thing about Dog is... its hair gets EVERYWHERE. On your clothes, furniture, carpet, floor.... everywhere. It's impossible to completely clean the floor because you turn around and there's always more hair there. Talk about annoying/frustrating/messy. Reasons to not have a dog... they smell, you have to pick up their poop, they shed, you have to bathe them, you have to take them on walks, they bark... loud, you have to feed them, they shed , they lick you after they lick heaven knows what else, and a bunch more reasons. Reasons to have a dog.....                                .   .   . Basically a dog is kind of like a baby that never learns how to talk, or grows spiritually and emotionally, and learns how to feed themselves and use a toilet and become independent. And they look nothing like you.

The day I had a baby

Brace yourselves... This is going to be a long one. About 4 weeks before my due date, a friend from church gave me a book about hypnobirthing. If you are planning to give birth naturally, I suggest not trying to cram what would take 9 months to learn into 4 weeks. The book was wonderful. It talks about how birth is a natural, sacred, and beautiful thing. If you are ready to give birth and aren't afraid, there should be no pain. After reading it, I was 100% sure my birth would be a pain free, natural birth. Yeah, my sister and mother said labor was awful but they just don't have as high of a pain tolerance like I did.... Ha. What a silly thought. We had taken a tour of the hospital and my birth plan was all done. We were ready for this baby to come. I had watched dozens of birth videos and cried during every single one. I made Dan watch at least 3 with me so he would be prepared and not pass out for the birth of our daughter. A week before my due date, February 3rd, I wa

Levitation

Sooooo yeah. I know. It's been what... 5 months? I guess being married is kind of a time sucker. But only in the best of ways. Oh yeah... Did I mention? I got married! And I am LOVING it! It's exactly like a roller coaster. There are highs and lows and all sorts of fun twists and turns. There are parts that make you want to puke and others that make you scream with excitement. It looks a little scary at first, but once you get on, you never want it to stop! I'll post some pictures of our wedding later. We had an AMAZING photographer and the pictures turned out great! Yesterday my husband told me about this new type of photography where people look like they are Levitating/flying. Wait... flying ? Seriously? Count me IN ! So now we are a little bit obsessed with it. Yeah no big deal... levitating when I study music history
