valentine's day! the day that everyone loves to say that they hate, but you know they secretly love it anyway. a day filled with chocolates and hearts from your lover. this valentines day was unlike any other for me. we started our day off with some great breakfast and mingling. after everyone was awake and up, we were given snorkeling gear:))) gaahhhh it was so cool!! we were instructed on how to snorkel and did a funny little penguin dance to wake us up and warm us up a bit more and we jumped into the ocean! while we were out we saw a few stingray, heaps of fish, and collected kina. it was really cool swimming around in the ocean with everyone and thankfully i wasnt too scared. when we got back to the boat, we were able to crack open the kina and eat the egg sacks...apparently they are some sort of delicacy and super expensive in the states...it was absolutely disgusting. for those of you that are in the mishawaka area, just imagine eating something that smells like the riverwalk. ya. i know. but thats the curse i get for loving to try new things! after another hour or so of relaxing on the boat, we made our way over to one of the many beaches around the bay. if i could imagine one place that is the epitome of a honeymoon destination, it would be this place. the water was a bright, blear blue and the hills were green and lush. it was incredible! after splashing around and soaking in the warm sun, our amazing travel weekend came to an end and we headed back inland and to Henderson. When we arrived back at the school, some really awesome things happened. amazing thing number 1- i was surprised with flowers from brian (more on that in the next blog post), and our guys made us a valentines dinner complete with music and valentines cards. it was the most amazing valentines day i have ever had. i love my pacrim family so much.
