Day Four. Caves, Repelling and Zip Lining!

We woke up at seven am thursday morning and took a bus to the middle of no where! we had an awesome tour guide who was so fun and nice! when we got to the location we went swimming in the caves first. We got all of our gear on and learned a little about the caves then we were ready to swim!  the water was so clear and naturally purified by the lime stones. There were bats in the cave that kind of freaked me out though!

After we finished swimming in the caves we got all vested up for repelling and we went over to this big wooden tree house and got all set up to repel off of it. Brock wasn't too sure about it but he did great! After everyone had a turn we made our way over to the zip lines! there were three different ones and the last one was the longest and fastest! After we tried each station we had lunch and then made our way to the Mayan Ruins!

Day Three. Swimming with Dolphins & Manatees

I may be slightly obsessed 

We woke up around seven on wednesday morning and were picked up to go to our first excursion! We swam with dolphins first and it was amazing! Brock and I have never swam with dolphins before and it was so cool to pet them and interact with them! They are the sweetest creatures! We also got to canoe. After swimming with dolphins we went to another area and swam with the manatees and they are huge! we got to feed them lettuce and when you feed them they grab on to your leg and it feels like they are just going to grab you and swim away! We also got to play with a baby manatee that was only six months old! after we swam with them we went to lunch and headed back to our resort and rested up before dinner. It was a four course meal and the best food we had the whole trip! We learned pretty quick to savior a good meal because we were not used to the food and actually were sick a lot of them time!

Night Two. Dinner + Engagement!

Just crying because so happy

Later that night we all got ready and went to a seafood restaurant at another resort. It was beautifully decorated but the food wasn't very good. I actually didn't even see anything familiar on the menu other than pin-coladas haha! After dinner, Brock and I went on a walk on the beach up to this hill over looking the water that we found earlier that day. We found a spot to lay and look at the stars, it was so dark thats the only thing we could really see.

I suddenly felt nervous! hello, we have been together almost four years, why did I feel like it was our first kiss all over again?! He began to say how much he loved me and how happy I make him and some other stuff I can't really remember and then he reached in his pocket and slipped a ring on my finger. and said "Marissa Lee Mock will you marry me?" and I didn't believe it was real. I probably said "are you serious? are you sure? is this real?" a million times! I never even sad yes! he finally said "well is that a yes?" and then I said "YES!" and I cried for a good little while. Then my little brother appeared with champagne and glasses and attempted to get a picture in our engagement spot.

It was such a happy moment! I loved that it was private and intimate and so him! I could hear the nervousness in his voice and all the small moments I never want to forget. I could relive it over and over. Announcing it was the best our family and friends were so sweet and so happy for us. We couldn't ask for better people in our lives! Thanks mom and dad for sharing your anniversary with us ;)

* Fun fact, We got engaged next to a turtle home and three little men in white suits came up to us and asked if we would please not use our lights in front of the turtle homes. Okay, way to ruin the romantic moment! We laughed about this forever.
