Making Memories of Us: Mexico

We left bright and early (make that 4am) last Thursday morning for Cancun Mexico for my best college friend's wedding! Before we even arrived at the airport I was already missing the kids. Funny how that works, when you think your SO ready for a break just 10 minutes down the road I'm ready to come back. I'm glad I didn't come back though, Chris and I got some MUCH needed one on one time and got to really enjoy each other. I think we sometimes forget that we really do LOVE each other, and that I'm not a nag ALL the time -ha. We were so excited to get to be a part of one of my very best friend's wedding- Stefanie and Brandon. Stefanie and I went through so much together and were connected at the hip through college. Life started a little early for me so we haven't got to spend much time together the past 3 years, but it's so nice we just picked up where we left off! You know your great friends when you can pick up 3 years later like we didn't even skip a beat.

Even though Chris got "traveler's diarrhea" for 2 of the 4 days we were there, we really enjoyed the stress-free days and the beautiful beach and water. We took tons of pictures and videos with Chris's phone, but leave it to me to drop it in the ocean. On the last day there we went to a beautiful island (about a 45 minute boat ride away) and enjoyed snorkeling, the zip cord and of course our favorite swimming with the dolphins. We had such a great time with each other but were ready to get back to see our precious children.

I am also so thankful for all of our family who pitched in to make our trip possible. We are so lucky to have such loving and helpful family members who were willing to take on the challenge of 3 kids for 5 days. I know the kids had such a great time with all the activities and gave them a little refresher from us as well! We've always know we are super blessed with such a great family and 3 amazing kids -but a little get away defiantly makes us realize how blessed we really are!
