This was my first week as an employee of Ancestry.com and it has been a week of adjustments. Everything is new to me at Ancestry. Here is a quick list of some of the things I had to adapt to during my first week: Being totally clueless After almost ten years at Morinda, I had …

Farewell to Morinda
After just about ten years at Morinda, I am moving on. Today was my last day and I’m excited about what the future may hold. About a year ago, I made a list of priorities in things that I would look for in a new job. Morinda treated me well, so I was going to …
Skydiving
Yep. I jumped out of an airplane. And I lived to tell the tale. But, before you go thinking I’m some thrill-seeking adrenaline-junkie daredevil, let me tell you that I followed my 60-year-old mom and my 86-year-old grandpa! They’re the crazy ones. You see, my mom has always wanted to go skydiving. It’s been on …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Seven: At Sea
Friday, February 7 After yesterday’s super-fun day in St. Lucia (which may have been the overall favorite day of the cruise), we were looking forward to a nice, relaxing day on the ship with very little itinerary. Unfortunately, our day started off too early. Room service came by and woke us up before we were …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Six: St. Lucia
Thursday, February 6 Manina and I were in charge activities on St. Lucia. We had booked a speedboat with Exodus charters who would take us down the west coast of St. Lucia. We had done a similar trip when we had visited this lovely isle before several years ago when Manina’s brother Derek got married, …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Five: Martinique
Wednesday, February 5 It wasn’t easy, but I convinced Manina to hang out with me on Martinique. She was disappointed to miss our planned hike, as was I. But, based on the insider information I’d received the previous night, I doubted we would be able to make that happen. So, she called our friends and …

2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Four: Antigua
Tuesday, February 4 I awoke early and went out to watch the sunrise. Caribbean sunrises don’t come along very often in my life, so I was determined to enjoy it. We were heading almost directly East, toward the island of Antigua, so I made my way to the very front of the ship and simply …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Three: St. Croix
Monday, February 3 We were roused from our solid slumber by room service bringing our eggs and fruit that we’d ordered the previous night. Waking to breakfast being delivered is something that I could really get used to. We ate the breakfast quickly and went to work out. Manina and I did a high-intensity 7-minute …

2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Two: St. Thomas
Sunday, February 2 After a great day in Puerto Rico, we woke up excited to head to St. Thomas. Ben Forstner had rented a couple cars for us so he, Manina, and I took off early on foot to go get the cars. After completing the paperwork we walked back to the ship and met …

2014 Caribbean Cruise Day One: Puerto Rico
I’m not a fan of travelogues, but I don’t write this blog for the benefit of the world. MightyJohnsons.com is a small, intimate, family-centered blog, mainly to record and journal our own memories. I love that family and close friends also read it, but the next several posts are mainly for me to look back …
