Jons first blog attempt!

Dont laugh if this doesnt turn out very well, as this is my first blog entry EVER ha ha! Cierra has added so much and I wanted to do my part!
I want to start by saying that I am so lucky to be joining my new family! I will have the greatest in-laws in the world. And im not just saying that either, lots of people cant say anything nice about their in-laws but I love them all. Im not exactly family yet but I feel like I am and they treat me as such. Blake and Shy are like a brother and sister, I love them both like my own. They are so funny and love to be around them. And John and Lori, I couldnt have asked for better. They have done so much for me already. I love them both so much, they are such good people always wanting to help someone out. They should be so proud of the family they have raised, I love them all! And I am so excited to be part of them, as well as the extended family!
Cierra and I have less than 2 weeks left till we are married. And I just wanted to say that I thank everyone who has had a hand in raising my future wife. She is the most amazing, caring and gorgeous woman I have ever seen! I am so lucky to have her in my life, she has been the greatest thing that has ever happend to me and there is no doubt in my mind that she alwas will be. Since day one I have been so happy, I know that there will be rough times ahead, but I also know that I love her with all my heart and as long as we work together we will be happy the rest of our lives.
Im sure ive made a few of you readers throw up in your mouths ha ha, so i will end now. I just wanted to ssay how I feel and give this blogging stuff a try!

More than anything I'm excited to be Mrs. Cierra Nichole Sundberg. I know that I will always be so happy with Jon as my husband. This is going to be the best Christmas season ever. Between appointments, bridal showers, Christmas parties, and our wedding day it is going to be a busy two weeks. I love Jon and am so grateful to have him in my life.

Our Cruise
















On Sunday we got home from our 7 night Western Caribbean cruise. It was amazing. We had such a great time. My parents, Grandma and Grandpa Olsen, Blake Shyenne, Jon and I had the time of our lives. Our first 2 days were on the ship. Our first port was Labadee, Haiti which is owned by Royal Caribbean. We decided to do the zip lines. Believe it or not this is the excursion that my grandma chose. Our second port was Ochos Rios, Jamaica. We met our friend Shun there and went to Dunn's River Falls. It was so much fun to climb up the water falls. Blake and Jon had to do it twice in the time the rest of us did it once to prove a point, I still don't know what that point was. Our third port was in the Grand Caymans. We were able to swim with the sting rays. My mom was put on a different boat that took us out to the sand bar. I think she enjoyed the time alone. I liked touching the sting rays but didn't like feeding them after one sucked my finger in his mouth along with the food. Our last port was Cozumel, Mexico. This was one of my favorite days. We went shopping for a couple of hours and then just layed out by the beach. It doesn't get much better than that. The last day on ship was a lot of fun. We did everything that we hadn't yet had the chance to do. I had never been ice skating so Jon and I went to the skating rink for part of the day. We were in a dodge ball tournament later that afternoon and we got our trash kicked. Let's just say we were only in the game long enough for one of our friend's dad to get 3 pictures. It was so hard to leave. Especially since Jon was on different flights from the rest of us.


On Sunday night I got sick. I puked all of our cruise food in a couple of hours. There was a virus going around the ship and I think I got it. I told Jon I was sick and he felt so bad, but he got back to Idaho at 2a.m. and being 4 hours away there was not a whole lot he could do to help me. I felt a little better at school but was exhausted from the long night. I was in the hall before my 1:00 class and one of my friend's told me she thought she saw flowers with my name out front. I thought that was so sweet. As I proceeded down the hall here came Jon with beautiful roses. I said, "what are you doing here?" He wanted to make me feel better and thought this was the best way. He went into work that morning and they had someone there filling in for him because they didn't think he'd be back til Tuesday, so they told him to take the day off. He went and looked at apartments in classified during my last class. When I was done with school he took me home and made me chicken noodle soup and definitiely made me feel better. He is amazing and I am so truly blessed to get to marry him in 27 days!
