Our Anniversary

The day started when I went to go to work I found a love letter from Josh hanging on the door frame.

While I was at work I had two bouquets of roses from Josh delivered to me.

We ate dinner at Cucina Tuscana. It is the best food in Utah and the best Italian food we have ever had.

I had to try my wedding dress on, I think this will have to become a tradition. I had too much fun wearing it again.

It's Our Anniversary!

I can't believe it is already our anniversary again. Two years ago we were married for time and all eternity. It was the greatest day ever. Marrying Josh is definitely the best choice I have ever made. He makes my life easier and I just love him! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband. He is smart, funny, loyal, adventurous, ambitious, loving and gorgeous. I love him completely. Here's to many more years of happiness, I love you Babe!

Boom Boom Boom Boom

Well, we are back from Cancun. We had an amazing time! We enjoyed relaxing with our good friends Matt and Brooke. Here are some highlights from the rest of our trip:

We went to Chichen Itza on Tuesday. It is crazy that these temples have been around for thousands of years.

After Chichen Itza we went to a fresh water cenote for cliff jumping and swimming. This is what the cenote looks like from above. It was so beautiful.

This is me celebrating after I jumped off of the highest cliff. I am deathly afraid of heights so this was a big accomplishment for me.

Here I go...

Below we have a video that Josh took while he jumped off of the cliff. It's sideways but pretty cool.

We ate this beautiful exotic fruit. We don't know what it was called but it was great! It was so pretty, on the outside it was hot pink and looked like a tropical flower. The inside looked like ants in ice cubes. It was very refreshing and if you can ever find one we recommend it.

This is my handsome hubby on the beach our resort is on.

We had fun with our waterproof camera all week long.

Happy hour!

On Wednesday we enjoyed dinner at Chicago's on 5th Avenue. It was delicious. After Dinner we went to get gelato that was AMAZING!

Thursday was our adventure day. We started the day off canopy zip lining. I thought I was going to be a big pansy about the whole thing but surprisingly I wasn't. We got to ride a couple of the zip lines upside down. It was the strangest feeling and I'm so glad we did it.

After zip lining we rode bikes through the jungle to a cenote. Our guide said that there are snakes, JAGUARS, wild boars and other creepy animals that they see all the time on the trail we were on.

Here I am zip lining into the cenote.

After the cenote and biking back we went kayaking. This didn't last too long because we were exhausted from our exciting morning. Here are Matt, Brooke and Josh on their kayaks.

After kayaking we played in the pool. We did crazy jumps and the boys had fun torturing me and Brooke. They enjoyed dunking us, stealing our foam floaty noodles and splashing us. Boys will be boys!

Here we are having some fun with our new under water camera.

Our First Couple Days in Cancun

We are in Mexico and are having the time of our lives! Here is a recap of our first few days:

The first night we arrived we ate at the restaurant on our hotel grounds. After we went on a night beach walk. It was so nice to walk in the warm water and soft sand. We both LOVE it here.
After our walk we went to get ice cream bars from the little market and ate them while lying on hammocks.

On our first day we just hung out at the hotel all day. We played all day long. It's amazing how tired you get after spending the whole day in the sun. I found this crab in our hotel pool! We transfered it out of the pool back to the beach. Pretty cool huh?

On our second day we went to a teeny tiny island off of Cancun, Isla Mujeres. It was soooo AWESOME! Here we are about to get on the ferry that took us to the island.

The water here is so gorgeous. You don't see colors like this where we live so we were thrilled.

We ate lunch at this little Mexican place on the beach. The food was delicious. We even tried chocolate mole enchiladas.

As soon as we got off of the boat we rented mopeds. We rode them all over the island. We saw some of the most beautiful beaches and look out points. We drove past mansions and ghettos. I've never seen such a cool and diverse place. I love Isla Mujeres and I highly recommend going if you are ever in Cancun. We each fell over on our scooters once. It was kind of scary and we were all glad we weren't going very fast at the time we ate it.

The boys had a hard time getting our scooters to start after we crashed them.

It took a local to get them going. Thanks little guy in the middle, you saved the day!

We bought this cool waterproof camera before this trip. It's been really convenient not having to worry about dropping it or getting it wet. Here's our first underwater shot.

This is North Beach on Isla Mujeres. It was so so so breathtaking. It was pretty empty and we just got to hang out and relax. The water was clear and shallow. The sand was like powdered sugar.

My cute hubs.

I was so glad to be there, this is what I looked like all day.

Here we are on our boat ride back to Cancun. I was so sad to leave but was excited for the rest of our trip. I LOVE boat rides. I love the feeling of the wind on my skin and the gentle rocking motion. It is so peaceful and beautiful on the ocean, I could do that every day. Maybe when we retire we can go sailing for a year.

After we got back in Cancun we went to get some din din. We ate at this amazing Italian restaurant. It was pretty fancy schmancy and we were definitely under dressed. The meals were brought out with silver lids and the waiters came over and lifted them all off in unison. All of the pasta was made fresh daily and it was to die for. We were seated right by a window and it was sunny when we got there. In the middle of our meal in an instant these dark clouds rolled in and it was pouring rain. We heard some of the loudest thunder ever, and by the end of our meal it was all gone! The weather in tropical places is crazy!

We are staying at a resort in Playa Del Carmen which is just south of Cancun. So to get there we decided to rent a car. This is our Dodge ATTITUDE. That's right an Attitude. We thought that was a funny name for a car so this is me and Brooke giving the car attitude.

Viva La Mexico!

Woohoo! We are now in Cancun, Mexico. See you suckers in a week... Just kidding about the suckers part. I hope you all have a fabulous week. Mom, I will try to post pictures as we go but I'm not sure if our new camera will let me. You should have just come with us.
