i think he's super cute, just in general. he's extra cute when he's excited about something!

i make a mean guacamole but there's something so good about eating good guac in mexico. can't wait! unfortunately, we are only going for 10 nights, not two weeks. i wish!! no current plans to return at this point. but i'm sure it'll happen. FI loves playa and it'll be difficult to get him to vacation anywhere else! i think our next big trip, though, will be to napa or sonoma for a little time in wine country. and he's already talking about taking me to europe for my 35th (just working on 33 this year). so maybe we'll be just fine. can't wait to explore the world with my soon to be hubby!

wow, it was a quiet weekend here! unbelievable! we must all be crazy (read: out of our minds!) busy with all the last-minute things. i'm tackling a long list of to-do items today. tomorrow is full of hair appointments, nail appointments, and packing. we leave on wednesday morning!

Yeah, I was sooo busy over the weekend! How was your bachelorette party? Mine was good...I drank lot of water to avoid a hangover next day. It worked! WOO!

oh, i'm glad you had fun! what did you do? we went to uptown (i'm in minneapolis) and hit up about 6 places around town. i was doing really, really well with pacing myself. until about 10:00 when it was just my two best friends and i. nothing terrible, but i was glad to be able to sleep in the next morning. kinda forgot about the whole water-drinking thing. but we started at 5 and ended at about 11:30, so i did very well, all things considered. it was a great time and a wonderful reminder of my fabulous friends.

We went to dinner then went to a bar...so it was fun, nothing crazy! I'm not really looking forward to FI's bachelor's party this Sat. We agreed to not have any strippers at our parties and we told our friends that so i am hoping that his friends respect that. Sigh.

ha, FI had some time with the guys when i had my bachelorette. on his way out, i told him "no naked ladies!" he just laughed. he and his buddies just spent the whole night at their normal hang-out. not even anything special! boys...

Wow – how I have missed you girls =)

I hope everyone is well.

First off, let me start by saying the wedding was wonderful. We had a few hiccups but in the overall scheme of things it TRULY didn’t matter. Everyone had a blast, all 70 of us. The flowers were pretty, the food was good and the drinks were flowing. No body left the dance floor and it just flew by in a flash. Makes me happy that we were able tos pend the few days before and after with everyone, because that day was so quick. Before we knew it, it was was 10:30 and we hadn’t even cut the cake =) HeHe

 

Ladies – no need to worry about a thing. Even if when you get down there and something goes wrong…it’s not worth it to be upset. I was the most relaxed and chill bride, my friends kept saying “are you okay†and my response was, “Of course, I am in Mexico, marrying the man of my dreams, with 70 of our cloest friends and family, what’s to worry about?†And that truly was my moto. Relax, enjoy and take it all in.

Sad to be back, I would love to have stayed longer than 2 weeks =( I will be posted a full review thread within a few days, once I get myself together again and stop staring at my new ring ;-)
