the almost entire month of April, condensed.

I literally just stopped blogging for a minute. Well, longer than a minute. And I know it's not like i have some sort of crazy following where I ruined people's lives from not blogging, but I am kind of sad that I didn't blog very much in April, because we kind of did a lot. Including celebrated our 1 year anniversary! Holla.

Welp, I'll start from where I left off. [and I apologize if you follow us on instagram, you will have seen most of these, cause that's what we've been doing instead of using a real camera. SORRY]

Taylor adjusted back to American life nicely.

He joined a soccer league:

Then, ALL of my sister-in-laws and their children came to visit for spring break and we went to the beach for a couple days:

Tayl put Lux in his shirt:

I got surprised with an early anniversary gift:

We spent easter weekend in Valdosta:

Pregnant karaoke!

Laney girl.

On Sunday we were basically all playing scramble against each other. TECHNOLOGY!

From Valdosta the Tayl and I headed down to Amelia Island, FL to spend a couple of days celebrated our anniversary:

My poorly timed cell phone short of the Florida state line.

Tayl & his driving glasses

 Once we got settled, we went for a walk on the beach:

Random sunglasses I found with barnacles growing on them.

Tay was trying to take this picture of the ocean when this stranger's dog ran by.

Crab shell

Jelly fish

 Our actual anniversary was actually what I would consider a perfect day:

We got up and went to play tennis.

After tennis we went to the beach.

If you can't tell, this is my face smashed up against the beach chair.

awwwww yeeeeaaah.

After the beach we went back to the hotel and showered and went out for dinner at MOON RIVER PIZZA:

WHEN THE EFF DID WE GET ICE CREAM?

Then we went to play mini-golf (surprisingly, our first mini-golf date together):

After our lovely little vacay, it was back to normal life:

I had to spend forever at the DMV to update my driver's license.

I finally got my georgia plates. Two years later.

I  ALSO FINALLY FOUND CORAL THROW PILLOWS!

We went fishing on the boat with Taylor's cousin Zack:

We went to the Earth Day festival at Forsyth park and learned about composting:

Later in the week we went back to Forsyth park to watch the Goonies:

And on an unfortunate note, my Grandpa Coffin (my dad's dad) passed away last weekend. I was extremely sad that I couldn't go to Utah to be with my family for the funeral. Here's his obituary, I thought it was really sweet, and I recommend it. And even though death is never easy to deal with, it's good to know that he is in a better place and doesn't have to be sick anymore. 

Hopefully I will blog more in May so that I won't have to do this again.

Honeymooners.

Here are some pics from our fantastic Honeymoon (I apologize in advance, I am never good at coming up with clever captions.):

This is our duck that hung out by our balcony waiting for food. I liked him.

Sunset from our hotel.

WHALE WATCHING! Which was my all time favorite thing. Even though I got a 3rd degree burn on my shoulders.

It was even more awesome in real life.

blow. hole.

We're on a boat.

That  dark spot was the whale that swam RIGHT under our boat. I think.

Bye.

Submarine Tour

We were about 100 ft down, so it wasn't very colorful.

Fish

The sleeping shark, it was actually really small, so it seemed really lame compared to the whales we saw before.

Sunken ship, that the submarine company sunk on purpose, lame.

Eagle ray

On our way to Sushi

Oh, this was the sub. a little out of sequence with the pics.

Fat tourists on their way to the luau. I wanted to get a matching moo moo but the asian lady at the shop said it was for grandma's and wouldn't allow me to purchase it. What a buzzkill.

Helicopter tour! This was Tay's favorite.

Honestly, I don't remember the names of stuff.

west maui?

Anyway come over sometime and watch the DVD of our tour. You can hear Tay ask a lot of questions. And hear our pilot who we are unsure if he was a person or a robot. He had a very soothing voice, and we never saw his face.

Molokai

highest seacliffs ever.

Taylor really loves this picture.

We saw whales from the helicopter!!

it was awesome.

Legitimate.

We had an awesoooome time. I cry everyday and say I WANT TO GO BACK TO MAUI!!! We ate shave ice after every meal, we had breakfast outside every morning and birds would just come up and hang out by us like it was no big deal. We met some awesome locals, and we did other stuff, but I'm too lazy to write about it.

Anyway, we love each other, and we have fun together, so we probably could have enjoyed ourselves any place, but we're glad we choose Maui.
