OHHHHH MEXICO!

Well what can I say about our trip..it was amazing, perfection, relaxing, and well-deserved. I know I know we just honeymooned in May and we are already going to Mexico?? I am sure you are asking yourselves how did she swing that?? Well truth be told..this was our honeymoon part 2. As many of you may not know, our original honeymoon plan was to head to Mexico for a week of all-included bliss! Well then the lovely Swine Flu rolled around and nixed that. So we quickly planned a short getaway and made a deal to use our flight credits to go to somewhere beachy and tropical..little did we know it would be in October..a mere 4 months later! Well our fab friends Jackie & Rooter invited us to join them on their first anniversary trip to Playa Del Carmen for a 5 day getaway..we quickly agreed and booked our flights. This was my first AI experience and I think I will do it from now on! It is fabulous..all the food and drinks you can consume all day every day! It was the perfect reward for all the stress and hardwork we had just gone through! Needless to say I would love to be able to travel several times a year to amazing places..

Here are a fee pics from the trip..Jackie has some amazing pics from our snorkeling adventure, so more to come!

Soaking up the sun

I told them it was our honeymoon, so they decorated our room and gave us some champagne!

View from our balcony.

They had a really cool fireshow on the Greek Themed Night.

The hubs got up at like 6:30 to take this picture of the sunrise!

On our last night after two dinner! Lobster Pot & Hibachi Grill...i was super full!! Never eaten so much food in my life! I probably gained around 5 pounds during this trip!

So there is a snapshot of our trip..now it is back to reality!

What is up with this weather??

Ok I have been an incredibly BAD blogger, that I did not even post the scarves I got from Arrie! So let's start off with that! She sent me two precious scarves for the Scarf Swap hosted by Meredith.

This one is the softest Houndstooth you have ever felt! I simply cannot wait to wear this winter! It goes with so many of my sweaters and tops.

This scarf is very colorful and will be worn several times to work! It has greens and yellows galore and it's simply beautiful! Thank you Arrie!

Jonathan and I still have some more boxes to empty and items to sort out for our upcoming garage sale in a few weeks, but we are truly loving our new house! We are still in disbelief that we are married, homeowners and I am employed (finally!!)!  Once the boxes are cleared I will post pictures of our house! We are thinking about having some form of a get together for close friends and family..we will see.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

PS Several more posts to come tonight..

Magnificent Mondays...

It's been a busy one to say the least. Lots of emails, phone calls etc to return. Hope everyone is enjoying their Monday. It is also a very special Monday..it's Meredith's birthday!

We have known each other for let's just say almost 20 years and we are closer than ever! She is one of the most important people in my life. She is one of the most incredible people you could ever meet..caring, giving, loving..you name a positive adjective and that is her! Anyways..don't want this to sound like a personal add or something, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEREDITH! Hope you are having a fabulous day with your precious Carson and family.

Adios Turquiose Blue Water and Hello Overcast?!?

We are back from Mexico and quite depressed about it..granted we came home to our new house, but it was super hard leaving that gorgeous blue ocean! Post to come tomorrow with pics..hope everyone enjoyed their weekend..we sure did!

It's a 4 bedroom, 2 bath house and we LOVE it! Obviously we should! This afternoon my mother-in-law, my mom and Jonathan will begin the painting process! I am heading over there after work to help as well. My two friends Jenn and Tina have also offered to come over tonight and help us do whatever we need..what great friends!
