I'm giving up Dr. Pepper

A typical day for me usually involves lots and lots of Dr.Pepper. I love the 23 flavor! Recently I decided that it would be better for me to give it up for many reasons

• Cost-It doesn't fit real well into a newlyweds budget


• Health-I'm thinking it will be easier for me to excercise


• Teeth-I had a teacher once who said if you drank soda it was like you were coating your teeth with sugar, and sipping on it all day was only making in a constant coating.

I am happy to say that so far I have not had Dr. Pepper, Coke or any other like that for 5 days!

I have discovered that Crystal light and propel water is tasty!

Honeymoon pictures

We went to Puerto Vallarta on our honeymoon! We had so much fun sitting by the pool, or by the ocean. We were able to do a canopy tour where you zip-line from tree to tree. Getting up the mountain to zip line was half the fun because we drove ATV's. It was kinda scary because we started driving in the Mexican streets, and they don't use their turn signals, and nobody obeys any rules. While we were there we managed to find the LDS church! As we walked back to our hotel from church a family that was there saw us walking and asked if we wanted a ride, so we got in the back of their truck. They ended up inviting us to their house for dinner. So we went back to their place and played with their kids and visited.

I did not know that bull fights ended with the matador killing the bull with arrows and swords! All that I have seen in the movies was the matador waiving their red cape, and it just seemed like they were playing a game. So I asked Joe if we could go to the bull fight when I saw advertisements for it. He seemed kinda surprised and just told me that if I really wanted to go he would go. I was probably one of the only women in the arena. At first I was having fun watching the bull be tricked by the matador, but then they started throwing darts and swords at it, and basically tortured it to death. It was terrible!

We loved the hotel that we stayed at, and we are hoping that in 10 years we can go back for an anniversary.
