It's Official!

Well - My "DREAM VACATION" is booked. I couldn't be more excited. We chose the Occidental Grand Xcaret located on a private lagoon in Riviera Maya, Mexico. It is an exclusive, all-inclusive, 5 star vacation resort. So, so excited. Now it's time to get in shape. I only have exactly two months to do it. Any suggestions? Jaime?

Anyway - here are some photos of the beautiful place we are going! Yeah!

Hopefully my photos turn out this beautiful!

Wow - 13 Years!

Well - Darren and I just celebrated 13 years together. I wouldn't exactly say "celebrated" seeing that we both worked that day and had an infant that didn't go to sleep until 1:30 am. But - regardless, we exchanged gifts and promised each other another happy 13 years. Darren gave me some beautiful diamond earrings, much larger than the ones he previously gave me and all he got was a love letter - poor guy. We hope to celebrate it over dinner soon and then we are currently planning our "dream vacation" to Xcaret Mexico. We can't wait. It's an all-inclusive, exclusive resort that is absolutely breathtaking. We are scheduled to go the first of October - pray for good weather huh?

Anyway - we were married before the digital age apparently because none of our pictures are digital except one. So - take a look at before marriage and after 13 years.

AFTER:



I know that Darren knows how much I love him but I wanted you to all know that he is the best thing that ever happened to me and I am extremely happy to be married to him.

I have been bad at NOT taking new pictures these last couple of weeks so I thought I would post some more pictures taken by Dan. Love them!

An Impromtu Photoshoot!

Dan, Darren's big brother, was in town to photograph a wedding. With all of his equipment here - we decided to have family pictures taken. I haven't been able to go through all of them yet but here is a sneak peak. I obviously didn't plan on this photoshoot thus the oversized clothing on my little baby. I hope to post more soon!
