Cancun

So we just got back from Cancun on Wednesday night. It was our first vacation away from Annalisa. My mom came in from Kansas City to watch Annalisa (thanks again, Mom). I think they had a lot of fun and we came home to a bunch of new toys for Annalisa (that will have to be a later post). I have to say I was a little apprehensive before going, but it was a great trip away and it was so nice to leave Houston last weekend with the cold & rainy weather we were having here. In just 2 hours we went from cold and rainy to beautiful/sunny 82 degree weather. Massy texted my mom and emailed her a couple times to make sure everything was going well and things seemed fine. Prior to leaving Cancun, I had talked to a couple of friends who had just gone on vacation for the first time w/o their kids. They also were nervous and immediately when they came back I asked them how it was to be away. Both surprisingly told me it was fine and they really enjoyed themselves. I'm thankful for their responses because God used it to give me a peace about going and when we were there I felt fine. I knew that it was ok to leave Annalisa and it was also ok to enjoy myself and I didn't need to feel guilty for being away. Needless to say, below are some pics from our trip. The highlight of our trip was that we finally were able to do a zip line (they wouldn't let us take any pictures). Ever since I saw the zip line through the jungle on Survivor, I wanted to do it. As soon as Massy & I saw that was one of the excursions we immediately signed up. The other highlight of our trip is that of course we stayed at an all-inclusive restaurant which is why you also won't see any pics of us in our swimsuits. They aren't pretty, but the food & drinks were definitely worth the calories!!
