Our Honeymoon!

So, the day after we got married, we left for LA to get on our 7-night cruise of the Mexican Riviera! We were both very excited for warm beaches in Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan. However, our luck ran out pretty quickly! We DID make it to Cabo for one day, but then our boat got turned around because of the swine flu. We headed back up the coast to visit San Fransisco for a day, and then back to LA. It was pretty sad. So, our warm cruise actually consisted of ONE warm day, with 6 very cold, rainy, windy days. Despite what the brochure says, being stuck literally inside a cruise ship for 5 days is NOT fun. BUT, we made the most of it, and spent the time dreaming up our future honeymoon re-do! These are some of the pictures we took!

In this picture, we clearly had no clue what was in store!

Eating was a large part of our cruise...

If it weren't for the all-you-can-eat ice cream bar, we might have died.
We played in an adult dodgeball tournament and DOMINATED!


The towel animals were always fun! And somehow he always found my sunglasses to put on them!

These are the grand adventures of our one day in Cabo!


We're taking a glass-bottom boat ride to the rock arches Cabo is famous for...

Daniel was enjoying the boat ride!

The arches were beautiful...

My favorite part...we saw seals!!!

Little did we know these would be the last hours of sunshine we'd see for the rest of the cruise!


This was Daniel's favorite spot while we waited for our little boat to come pick us up...

Dinner was always fun, and look! They had chairs our size...

Daniel was the master of the ship's rock wall.

...and I made it up too!
Watermelon art!

I captured a picture of the ultimate cruiser. (Hint: it's not Daniel...)

Because we were stuck inside, we played a lot of board games...

A bat!


We seriously couldn't take a single good formal night picture! This is as good as we got.
Now begins our San Francisco adventure! We hiked up this hill. Seriously.


Here is Daniel...literally hiking in my opinion!
We hiked so that we could go see Lumbar St! The curviest street in the world...

You can see that my face describes how I felt at this moment!

We went on a tour of Muir forest to see the redwoods...this is a big tree.


We fit inside this tree!
And that, in a few pictures and a few words, was our honeymoon!

    If it makes you all feel better, we went on that cruise a couple years ago, and Cabo was the BEST port, so at least you got to see the best of the three!

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in my stomach.   They didn’t feel l

Faulk Family Task List

Yup, that's just a dang fancy phrase for "chore chart." I decided this needed to happen.  I am so tired at the end of the day from working a full time teaching job plus three part-time theatre jobs that the LAST thing I want to do is clean.  So, I end up letting everything pile up until I literally dread coming home.  This results in a totally massive, totally random meltdown that usually ends with me scrubbing the whole apartment clean for hours.  I'm then in a MUCH better mood for a couple weeks until the cycle repeats itself. This had to stop. So, I created the Faulk Family Task List.  It lists the basic chores that need to be done around the house.  Some need to be done just once a week while others need to be done every day.  That's why I LOVE this cute chore chart template I found through Microsoft Office Online.  You can download the template HERE .  After I personalized it for what worked for our family, it looked like this:   I love how this temp

Cedar's Blessing Day

In our church, it is common practice for a baby to be be given a name and a blessing in church during their first few months of life.  This blessing is usually done by the baby's father.  (For more info on what a baby blessing entails, click  HERE ). Cedar Jane Faulk was blessed by her father on July 1, 2018.  We wanted her to be blessed when my parents could be there (my dad flew in from Shanghai), and as an added bonus, Daniel's parents were given permission to come home from their LDS mission in Orlando for a long weekend to attend the blessing!  It was very special for her to have both sets of grandparents there, as well as most of my aunts and uncles, sisters, and other friends. I will admit that Daniel and I felt a little bit of added pressure over this blessing as compared to our other kids' blessings.  It is common to hear babies blessed with things like health, marrying in the temple, etc.  For Cedar, all the "normal" things like that suddenly felt i
