Hola! Mexican Vacation!

For those of you who are still checking in with the smallest ray of hope that there may actually be something new to see or you just really love our last blog and want to review it daily...this is for you!

Married life has kept us super busy, well, more likely the life around us has. Lauren is loving his softball team and is a great team captain. Many of the games have been rained out so the season will most likely go late this year. He is rocking his Arabic class and will be moving on to advanced Arabic for the summer semester.

My time has been spent between work, work, work, school work, finals, Utah house stuff, and...work! Nothing fun to report, but I have some great ideas for this Fall when I hopefully have a little more time on my hands. Because Lauren wanted to spend some time together that we wouldn't be interrupted by my usual activities...he surprised me (in the nick of time) with a trip to Mexico!

We spent about 5 days in Tulum, Mexico. Super fun, super hot, and my stores of Vitamin D are finally replenished.
In the airport I finally broke down an bought Twilight (shout out to my sister-in-laws, I have joined the Edward fan club at last) I read it in 2 days! After holding off for nearly 24 hours, Lauren convinced me to purchase New Moon even though it would mean more time away from him...book 2 was done in less than one day! Out of love for LG I didn't buy the third book...motivation for finishing finals and FDA audits!

We had some vouchers for the spa and enjoyed using them. Lauren made me laugh when he came out to tell me that there was NO way he could wear only his provided robe and not expose all. Here is the outcome...I laughed so hard, we were interrupting the Zen!

Later we went to Chitzen Itza, pretty awesome! Our tour guide is an archaeologist there and has also studied Mayan theories, including the Book of Mormon. It is amazing what was done there.


The trip was so relaxing and, as do all vacations, slipped by all to quickly.

It's about time! Glad you had a great trip. Went to Tulum, etc a few years ago with some friends. Probably even had the same tour guide you did. Did he let you take bathroom breaks? Because mine was a nazi about that. Love to you both.

I am so jealous! MEXICO?!?! Nice work Lauren.

And WOO HOO for finally reading Twilight and New moon! They only get better! (Midnight Sun (twilight from Edwards point of view) was my favorite and she hasn't even finished it yet! SOOO GOOD!)

happy reading :)

what a fun surprise! nothing like a beach getaway. :) And kudos for reading twilight! I'm impressed you didn't keep reading, they are truly addictive. We'll have to have a Twilight showing next time all the sisters are together. :) Really I just want to watch Twilight with Flee and count how many times she swoons over Edward! ;)
