For those of you who don't know I just recently got back from a week vacation in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with the new bf. I can't complain about spending a week lounging on the beach or by the pool and drinking all sorts of extremely potent fruity alcoholic drinks. We did one off resort snorkeling excursion where we first swam with all the little pretty coloured fish and coral but then we went into this caged section in the middle of the ocean and swam with SHARKS and STINGRAYS!!! It was scarey but absolutely amazing at the same time. The sharks were nurse sharks so they don't have any teeth but still they were about 8-12 ft long and the sting rays were even larger. They just hovered near the bottom but you would be swimming along and all of a sudden one would appear under you...it freaked me out a little. Then three of the sharks started to fight with each other right under me and I swear one almost touched me so I screamed a little underwater through the snorkle. The new bf thought it was the funniest thing ever and insists on telling everyone how I screamed at the harmless sharks.
We spent most of the nights drinking at the bars and laying on the beach under the stars looking for shooting stars. I only saw one all week long and C saw like 10....and as cheesy and movie cliche as this is going to sound......the sweetest moment ever in my life happened on the beach at night under the stars....the L bomb was dropped. It was so sweet because the setting was amazing but also because he was so extremely nervous that I thought his heart was going to beat out of his chest. Needless to say, I am totally in love......scared as all hell though because it is very fast but when its right its right.....right?
