Mexico!


For Christmas this past year, my sweet husband surprised me with a trip to Mexico. We have been so looking forward to it since then, and really were excited to take our first tropical trip together. Neither one of us has ever been to Mexico so it was amazing for us. We stayed at a beautiful resort called Aventura Spa Palace and enjoyed spa treatments, all inclusive drinks and food, and gorgeous weather. It was great. We kept meaning to leave the resort but we just didn't. We met some great people, danced, saw a show every night, and did karaoke. We laid in the sun by the pool, we snorkeled in the lagoon, slept in, and played fun pool games. Since there wasn't a beach, they had a lot of things going on around the pool, and it was a blast. In fact, we WON the couples game, which included Matt and I answering questions, personal questions, in front of everyone, and trying to match them up...like the newlywed game. And at the end of the game, he poured out his heart to me in front of the whole pool, and I will never forget it. It brought tears to my eyes. Love him so much. Thank you babe for a wonderful time to reconnect and fall in love all over again. Let's do it again soon!!
