So after the crazy, eventful, stressful, surreal week leading up to Scott's board exam, we got to spend a few days in Dallas with my family and then headed to MEXICO for 6 days to decompress in this beautiful place:
I always forget how relaxing it is to be away from TV, cell phones, Internet, and the general craziness that makes our lives more jumbled and complicated than they need to be. A few highlights of the week:
- Hanging out with the family and eating delicious Arabic food at Ali Baba for Fathers' Day.
- Seeing the Hangover with Tim and my good friend Mary - RAUNCHY but I'm not gonna lie, I laughed. A lot.
- Sleeping. Like real, relaxed, no alarm sleeping.
- Arriving at our destination and having a full week of unscheduled time to spend with Scotty and process the events of the last few months
- Reading 3 books. For fun.
- Eating breakfast on our porch every morning
- Lounging by the pool or beach for hours and forgetting what time it is (oops to the sunburn)
- Eating AMAZING food and not having to worry about how much the bill was going to be
- Fresh seafood
- Dancing
- Making new friends from Chi-town! It's amazing how God puts people in our lives to connect with.
- Snorkeling and reminiscing about the good old days at the Island in Indoland.
- General conversations about the future, where we are now, what God is doing.
- Unlimited dessert.
Unfortunately, I am not the best photographer slash remembering-to-take-pictures person ever to walk the Earth...so I have like 10 pictures from the whole trip. Oops. But regardless, I will post these pictures whenever I get around to uploading them on to my computer.
It's nice to be home, but it sure was nice to be away for awhile.
