Our little escape at the resort was awesome & very relaxing! We went to the bar and ran into a co-worker of mine. We received a free cocktail drink since we had a ‘free coupon’ that came with our room. We relaxed outside by the fire which was really nice and warm! The next morning after we checked out we went and had breakfast at La Grande Orange. It was nice to be able to escape from reality just for a night.

Tomorrow we are going to my parents’ for Christmas and we’ll be staying 2 nights then on Friday we’re going with Jason & Kim to Flagstaff! We’re so excited to see snow and it’s amazing how we can just drive 2 hours and be in a place where there’s a lot of snow!!

I love giving gifts… and can’t wait to give on Christmas!

Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas!!

My hubby bought me an iMac for my Birthday! I feel a little bit guilty about having a new computer when I still have my laptop but my laptop is slowly dying and I can’t watch videos on my laptop without it lagging. I’m excited but I need to transfer everything from my laptop to the iMac.

A dear friend of our family cannot go and gave us her hotel room so we get to go tomorrow! This is a spankin’ brand new resort & spa that just opened and is inspired by the rich history, whitewashed villages and sun drenched hills of Spain’s Andalusaia region. Perfect opportunity for a pre-honeymoon getaway. I am so excited to spend time with Tyler alone without having distractions of doing thank you notes, paying the bills, signing up for insurance together, christmas shopping, and endless errands!

Friday morning I woke up at 4:30AM and we were all still so tired so we decided not to follow the others in the RV to Rocky Point and just go on our own later and meet them there. We left the house at 11AM and arrived Rocky Point at 3PM. We went to the condo where we were staying at….and it was just like the first episode of Real World. Everyone grabbing the bedroom they wanted – Tyler even put his ID on the bed while we went out to the car to bring in our stuff.

We met a lot of new people and they are all so welcoming and really nice! Unfortunately a lot of things happened this weekend with the cops. Two people’s bags got stolen from their bedroom around 8PM. So things were crazy the first night. They had to go the station to fill out paperwork and stuff because their money, IDs, and passports were in the bags too. So basically they had nothing on them just what they were wearing, which sucked. A few of us decided to go to Pink Cadillac to celebrate Rachel’s Birthday at midnight. We stayed up until 4:30AM and woke up around 9AM. Some of us went to the beach while the others went back to the police station and shopping downtown.

We had so much fun swimming in the ocean and going on the banana boat. After that, Jason took us off-roading with the ranger. That was so much fun but it was a bumpy, sandy, hot, & humid ride! Most of us got bruises from banging our heads everywhere. We were covered in sand afterwards and it looked like we aged during the ride!

We went to The Crows Nest for dinner and we all sat outside so the view was beautiful!!! Almost everyone was EXHAUSTED and burnt out right after dinner. Some of us went to Manny’s Club but Tyler and I left early. Apparently I was dreaming that I was being kidnapped by a Mexican while in bed so Tyler said I was screaming bloody murder and kicking in bed. It felt so real! I’m glad it wasn’t real.

Overall, Rocky Point was awesome! A lot more happened but “whatever happens in Mexico stays in Mexico”. I’m really glad to have spent the weekend with such awesome people! I’m looking forward to new memories to create in Arizona.

Haley and Chase left this afternoon. :( I was busy cleaning up and getting ready for Tyler’s mom and brother’s stay here with us. They arrived tonight and they’re staying until Friday or Saturday. So much to do this week with them while I still go to interviews and look for a job.

I have two photo albums on Facebook from Mexico – Album #1 & Album #2. If you have Facebook you can see more photos of me on my profile.
