My Granny

I am blessed beyond measure to have had such wonderful grandparents! They lived 6 blocks away for most of my life and we were able to spend so much time with them. It was all truly priceless! There were times when I thought I might not get married before they passed - what a great gift that I could share Chris with them in their last years. The holidays this year were bittersweet. Chris & I got to spend our first Christmas at home - but my granny was to sick to be there. However we did get some incredible one on one time with her late one night at the hospital. I think I somehow knew it might be the last time I would get to visit with her. So despite the fact that it was 3am we soaked it all up. She was the granny I remembered as a kid that night - and one we had not seen in months. To say that she was a Godly woman seems to be an understatement. I learned so much from her about life and about my Lord. I miss her like crazy! But I know there will come a day when we will be reunited - oh what a glorious day that will be!

I love you Granny!

MEXICO

Oh how sweet it is to be on vacation....oh how hard it is to get back to reality!

We headed out New Years morning for a week vacation in MEXICO! Warm weather & all you can eat/drink! It was fabulous & I can't wait to do it all over again next year. But until then I will just soak in all these beautiful pictures! We stayed at the Aventura Spa Palace - it was wonderful! We would both highly recommend it! The hotel was great, but we did venture out to Playa for the day & also to Xel-ha. Xel-ha was beautiful! Another great recommendation for your next Mexican vacation! Chris & I both got some sun - which was awesome! I guess it makes up for our summer in NJ where we never saw the sun. Now we begin our countdown to the next vacation...to bad its 6 months away :(

Sidenote: we saw lots of Iguana's and I just could not pass up the opportunity to snap their picture...sorry if its a bit excessive!
