Since I haven't see heaven yet with my own eyes I can't really write about it, but I sure can write about my ideal Heaven on earth! But what is my heaven on earth? My heaven on earth is a magnetic place, a beautiful place, a place where there is no disease, no broken homes, no gangs, no violence, no murders, no evil corporations, no crooked politicians, which make promises they can't keep, and certainly no racism, only good honest people! It would be a place where the untold secrets of the world whisper through the breeze rustling the palm trees. A place of untold beauty…like the beaches and beauty of Maui collided with natural wonders of Yellowstone. It would be a place that doesn't follow the rules of survival of the fittest, or every man for himself. Those concepts would be non-existent. Wars would also be a thing of the past. Everyone would live together in peace and harmony. Everyone would enjoy waking in the morning because they would know another magnificent day in paradise is ahead of them. That my dear friends it MY Heaven on Earth!

When I left off on my other blog I said we were headed to the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone…and it was great! It was an assume view, and a massive canyon. We also went to Mammoth Hot Spring in North Yellowstone…and it was pretty nice. Not as amazing as Old Faithful though. I think Morning Glory was the prettiest Hot Spring I seen. Our next destination was then Yellowstone Lake! It was a massive lake at 7733ft above sea level, and 430ft deep at its deepest point. It even had a sandy beach and waves like the ocean. It was way too cold to get into though. After the lake we went to the West Thumb Geyser Basin, by this point it was like 9:00 at night…so as we were there were bugs everywhere. It was really pretty, because we got to see the sunset over the basin, but there were bugs everywhere probably by the millions!! Don’t believe me about the bugs, watch my video! Well that is it for Yellowstone National Park; we are now on our way to Grand Teton National Park!! (Grand Teton is the park to the south of Yellowstone. It is also in Wyoming.)

I just thought I would let everyone I'm having a great time at Yellowstone...and tomorrow (the 25th) is my b-day!! I'm sure everyone already knew that...if u didn't shame, shame, shame on you :-p...but I just though I would remind everyone! I'll be 17!! So, what is everyone getting me?? Anyhow I'm having fun at Yellowstone, it is sooo nice here...today is my 3rd day at Yellowstone. So, how is everyone doing at home?? Is everyone having a good summer? Write back! I can't wait to hear from everyone (don't forget to wish me happy b-day...if u do forget I'll be SAD).

Wow, I just don't know where to begin...there was so much action packed into my cruise! We boarded the Sensation Sunday at Port Canaveral. Then once we got on the ship we pretty much just walked around meeting people. That night at dinner I met Ashley, then later on that night I met Chantelle at the teen club. They are the 2 girls I pretty much hung out with the whole time. Monday we docked at Freeport! The beach there was pretty nice, and there was a lot of shopping!! Tuesday we docked at Nassau (the capital) and the ship didn't leave till 6 a.m. the next morning. Anyhow, Nassau was really nice...there were shops and markets right as u get off the ship! You had to catch a taxi to the beach but it was NICE!! Actually we went to the Atlantis Resort, and went out on the beach from there. The Atlantis Resort was unbelievable! They had the world's largest indoor aquarium. Words can't describe that place, or the cruise...u will just have to watch the video. Oh yea, my last full day (Wednesday) was great too! I spent the whole day lying around the ship flirting with girls, eating, and swimming! Actually I had a great time with Chantelle...I guess u could call it a short relationship b/c unfortunately we live in different countries. I also had fun with Ashley, but we were just friends (unlike my & Chantelle). Thursday morning was a sad day; we had to leave the ship. We got up and got off the ship around 10. Well that is about it...watch my videos, and check out the picks!!

My prom went great for the most part! It started out with my family and Bekah’s family all gathering at my house before prom. LOL, it took me forever to get ready because I didn’t know where half that stuff went…like the cufflinks! Once I got my tux on, I visited with everyone at my house for a while which was fun. Me and Bekah got tons of pictures. It was pretty funny too because every time we took a picture it would be taken with like 4 different cameras because everyone brought their camera. Once me & Bekah left my house I surprised her with dinner at Carrabbas!! She loved that, the food was wonderful. One couple actually came up to and complemented us on what a great couple we made and asked us where we were going, so we talked to them for a few minutes. Then, when we went to pay the bill we found out they had paid for our appetizer!! Once we left Carrabbas it was off for the prom! We were like 30 minutes late, but bunches of other people were late too. The prom was really fun, I introduced her to a bunch of my friends, and we got out on the dance floor and danced a little too! The music was ok though, I thought they could have done better with that. We stayed the whole time too, we danced to the last dance at midnight!! After the last dance the DJ played “Don’t Stop the Music”, which I thought was ironic. Overall I guess it was a wonderful night, even though me and Bekah were kind of tired and grumpy at the end.
