The Crazy Carlisles

Here's an update from us crazy newlyweds... we are going on a cruise! A Caribbean cruise, no less. What we are doing:


  • Ziplining through the jungle in Belize
  • Tubing down a rainforest river (cross your fingers there aren't any crocs!!)
  • Taking a twister boat to a private island to enjoy an out-of-the-way beach near Cozumel
  • Sailing on a catamaran to one of the best snorkling/ diving spots, with lunch included in Honduras

We can't WAIT. We have been working so hard to save up for this trip, and it will be the trip of a lifetime! Scot and I wanted to do something special to celebrate our 1st year anniversary, and his graduation, and I guess my graduation too. But mainly, we just want to celebrate each other and our marriage, and we think it is deserving of a cruise. Ah!!!! 

In other news, we are getting a fish or maybe fishes! I am hoping for this beauty:

(we found him at an aquarium store)


Or, some of these or both.



How fun is that?

I threw a dinner for work that involved fish centerpieces and everybody loved them (and don't worry, the fish were properly cared for and are being taken care of). They stole the show, without a doubt. 

Here are some pics:



 (side note: I hand-made the placemats and wrote the namecards out myself, in addition to making the centerpieces)


They were great, the only problem is now I want one. Luckily, Scot is willing to adopt some. 


In other other news, we used a free cultural pass at the library to go to the zoo. I hadn't been since I was a child, and we thoroughly enjoyed monkeying around all day, like this guy.




We also found a sale at the library, and we really scored all of these for under $3 altogether.

And, lastly, I have been making bread and I tried bagels, too. The recipe for the bread can be found HERE


Life is good! 

Until next time,
Hannah & Scot
