I got up this morning at 4:45 to head to the gym. I really did not want to go, but told myself "if i want to look really good in my wedding dress in a year, i better get my butt up." After my 2 mile run, I headed home and got ready for work.
As I was driving down 169 I couldn't help but notice the absolutely amazing sunrise the God blessed us with this morning. I couldn't find my camera in my purse so I grabbed my phone to snap the picture. It doesn't do it much justice for how beautiful it was, but wanted to make sure to post it as it really made me thankful for another day of life today.
Hope everyone has a blessed day :)
We ended up falling asleep for a couple of hours, missed sunset, but made it up for our 8:30 dinner. We went to dinner, where we had some interesting dinner companions for the next three days. After dinner we decided to take a walk around the deck and check out the stars. As we were walking along, there was a pretty drunk (we think) lady that we thought was going to fall over board because she was staggering all over the place. She started talking to us and when we said goodbye she continued to follow us and asked where we were going. We were just trying to get away from her and it wasn't working. We finally lost her and as Brian was about to ask someone to take a picture, I turned away and when turned back towards him he was down on one knee and said "Amy Hammer, will you marry me?" I was dumbfounded. I said "you aren't supposed to be doing this, this weekend, the trip was a surprise," i started crying and then shaking and I finally said yes. We put the ring on, it fit perfect and of course was gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited to just spend the next few days together to enjoy our engagement, but the hardest thing was not being able to tell my parents , sister and friends (even though they suspected it) until Monday, but it was well worth the wait! For the rest of the night we listened to some music at one of the bars and did a shot and made a stop by the casino.
Once we got off, we decided to head to Atlantis to see the beach and the hotel. We went to the beach first, got a couple of coconut drinks and wanted to maybe go in the ocean, but the waves were HUGE. So we just walked down the beach, and then headed into the crazy pools of Atlantis. As we continued to walk around in awe at all the pools, we got hot and decided to take a dip!!! You were supposed to have a wrist band, but we walked right in, swam for about 20 minutes, laid down to dry off and then left and never got caught. We walked up to the hotel to walk through it and see the aquariums, casino and all of the interior of things. We asked how much the pools cost for the day and they said $110/per person/day. OMG we said - we just snuck in for free!! It was awesome :)
Then we headed to downtown Nassau and walked around, got a cigar, a free necklace and then went to a little Greek cafe and had a piece of King fish and a couple of beers. Then we headed back to the ship. I went up to the spa and got my nails done and Brian was going to go to the casino, but it was closed til 7 so he just took a nap. When I got back we got ready for dinner and then went and enjoyed that. It was Halloween so people were dressed in costumes. After dinner we went up to the poolside party and hung out and had a few too many cocktails and ended up on the dance floor at the end of the night! We had a great time.
