Mallorca aka Majora

Our "second" day on the cruise we arrived at a port on Mallorca. It's a beautiful island of the coast of Spain.

We took our time in the morning sleeping in till 8:30! Estela woke up in the middle of the night and only went back to sleep when she was in our bed with her little hand caressing my face... well more like pinching me over and over again.

After breakfast we headed out on foot towards the Castle. Dan had a T mobile plan for the month which gave us unlimited Data on his phone wherever we went! I highly suggest it if traveling internationally. So google maps told us it would only take 40 minutes to walk there. Totally do-able right?

We strapped Estela into her awfully cheap umbrella stroller and went on our way. Little did we know that the entire trek would be uphill on cobble stoned roads and then hiking up a mountain. Going uphill is fine but we weren't expecting a mountain. But we are troupers and I carried Estela a mile up the mountain while Dan carried the stroller. Carrying an 18 pound wiggly weight up a mountain is a pretty good workout. By the time we reached the castle I was in my T-shirt regardless of the fact that it was 40 degrees out.





This was basically all we had time for. 

When we got back to the ship we went straight to dinner and Estela promptly fell asleep while eating a breadstick. She was pretty worn out.

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 inde...

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
