Looking back at these pictures from our trip to Mexico for BJ and Ashley's wedding makes me realize how much we NEED spring around here! It seems like forever ago that we felt sun on our skin!! And it really hasn't been that long!  I think ever since I can't go to the tanning beds anymore and get some warmth on my skin, it feels like winter is even longer than it really is!! The only thing that is saving me from this winter, is planning our getaway for 2014. If you want to get a decent place to stay you have to do it early, so we have it narrowed down for next January/February, we just have to make a final decision.

 

Anyway, the wedding was beautiful and we were so happy we were there to welcome Ashley into the family. She is a very special young lady and BJ is very happy! It was a beautiful ceremony and a great location.  The resort was wonderful and we had a very relaxing week!! Got lots of reading done and enjoyed the beach very much! We had a great room with our own patio and jacuzzi, and the restaurants that were included in our all inclusive were pretty good.  We went into Pureuto Morales the small town about a mile away one day and snooped around.  We ate at a great restaurant there and had peel and eat shrimp and guacamole. We also went into Playa Del Carmen towards the end of the week and had a nice afternoon there too.  On the final nite there we took a trip into Cancun to do a boat tour with a lobster/steak dinner - it was pretty cold and windy but the meal was great and the scenery was very nice! We also ran into Doug and Judie Madsen who I used to work with at the bank! They were staying in Cancun for the week - what are the odds we would end up on the same boat!  It was alot of fun catching up! We ended the evening toasting with tequila shots!! Had a great time! 

 

Since we've been home it's back to work and back to blowing snow for Greg!  Since we bought this place in 2007, we have never had so much snow! Great for the lake levels, but horrible for everything else!! And last year at this time we were enjoying 70's!! Geez....will it ever end???  Working, enjoying time with the grandkids and finishing up the project around here is what is keeping us busy.  And awaiting spring. 

 

Happy 1st Birthday today to our Little Miss Caroline Rebecca! Time goes so fast....
