Mexico

Javier and I hoped to get away for a little "honeymoon" by ourselves to invest in our marriage before our hands become blessedly full. We haven't been away by ourselves for more than a night without at least one baby in tow for 9 years. We found a cheap deal on craigslist for a week at a resort in Puerto Penasco, Mexico (just 4 hour drive). It is the most luxiourious place we have ever been and it cost less than most regular hotels in the states and the same as taking our family to a little cabin for a weekend. We have been here since Sunday and my parents will bring the kids down on Thursday to spend the last few days with us. I don't think Javier and I have laughed so much in years and the kids are going to LOVE it. The weather is warm with a nice breeze and the beach is so interesting - soft, clean sand and shallow warm ocean water. Javier has a gift for making friends with the elderly and we already have made friends with a few that we meet up with. We also got a lot of reading and rest in these last few days - what a blessing to rejuvinate us.

1 more day until court. Court should happen Thursday night while we are sleeping. Hopefully we can celebrate here with the whole family - and we are hoping we will find out Friday morning before my parents head back home so they can find out the news too.
