Catching Up

I'm back from my blogging break and ready for 2013! But where do I start? So much has happened since I took my break that it's been hard to catch back up.

I guess I'll just start from the beginning...it's the most fun anyway :) One of the main reasons I had to shut down my shop early and decided to take my bloggy break to begin with is because Jesse and I went to Mexico!!! His cousin got married and we were invited to go along! There were 14 of us total in the group and we had an amazing time. We stayed at Moon Palace in Cancun and I would recommend this resort to anyone traveling to Mexico. All inclusive and well worth the expense!

It was rather windy the day of the wedding, but it was beautiful nonetheless! Here is a picture of the happy couple and one of Jesse and I the day of the wedding as well.

Something else we did while on vacation is swim with the dolphins. This was my number one thing I wanted to do while in Mexico. And it was all I hoped it would be. Here's one picture from our swim, but I think I'll save the rest of another post :)

We got back really late on December 23rd and didn't get to bed until 2:30am on Christmas Eve! We went to my grandparent's at noon that day and then to Jesse's mom's that night. Then we went to Jesse's dad's at noon on Christmas Day. We were rather tired by the time all the festivities were through...to say the least!

And to top things off....my nice camera got ruined while we were in Mexico due to the extremely high humidity the first day we were there. Luckily I had my waterproof camera as well and still got some pictures. Then when we got home, the media card in my desktop computer went out, so I had to get it repaired and try to run everything off my laptop in the mean time! Ai yi yi!

The best part of my time off was that I got to spend lots of time with my parents! They were here over the holidays and just left on New Years Day. I did put my mom to work a few days :) But mostly we just watched movies, went out to eat or played cards...time together.

It was nice to have such a long break, but I'm ready to get back into my routine and get back to work! I have so many new ideas for the new year and I'm excited to get started!
Wishing everyone the best in 2013!!!

  2. Welcome back - what a great time you've had. Look forward to seeing/hearing about you and the dolphins, and sorry to hear about the technology tantrums. It (technology) is great when it works, and the pits when it doesn't!

    Have a great year! Isobel: www.ColdhamCuddliescalling.blogspot.com

  6. Mexico!!! No wonder the previous preview picture you posted was so sunny! Well, it sounds like you had a blast,and also a great holiday with your parents. Bummer about your camera (I know how that feels, and I don't even have a nice one) and the computer media card. =( Glad you got it repaired (and had your extra camera). Can't wait to see more of the photos with you and the dolphins. That must have been so much fun!!!
