HOLA!

So we are back from Mexico and I have been trying so hard to upload photos, however, everything I have been trying is not been working correctly! It is annoying the hell out of me! Anyway... we had a blast. We visited the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and Chichen Itza, a natural waterpark, Xel-ha, the Isla of Mujeres on a Carribean Carnivale and the town of Playa del Carmen plus of course spending time by the beach, pool, spa and bar! We also played golf and swam in cenotes - these are natural sink holes that fill with underground freshwater. I've posted our photos here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=128329&id=505907036&l=a6e2d3180f.

On my birthday we went on a cruise over to another island and had dinner on the beach while watching the Carribean show. We made new friends, Connie and Edge, and had a blast with them! My husband got called on stage, for which I think he thought they were going to place him in a contest, however, they only forced him to dance and SING! It was hysterical and he was so brave, especially given there were about 200 people watching him! He did great and everyone remembered him all night. "Oh Bryon, oh Bryon!" It was a riot!!!

Everything was great, besides the fact it was so HOT! We were sweating everywhere we went. We were happy to eat our first meal without perspiring Friday. We headed straight up to the lake and went and had chicken at Crandall's! YUM! We've been hanging out and getting some things done around the house here. It's been a great weekend - but unfortunately 5:15 AM will arrive soon enough and I will have to take off back to work. :( Not excited about that, but I am excited that so many fun things are planned for this summer, not to mention, Bryon's new exciting adventure. I will try to be better about keeping the blog updated with new news!

XOXOXO

Nuthin New...

Well...well...I'm actually sitting down and actually thought about the blog at the same time! We've been around, nothing too exciting to report. A couple of weeks ago, Bryon went to Vail for the last ski weekend of the year with some buddies. He had a ball and I had a good time with some me time. It's good to have some alone time every now and again! That weekend Gina and I went down to our friend Emily's new store, Mr. & Mrs. Digz to help get her up and going. If you are in the city, be sure to check it out at Clark & Broadway! Speaking of friends and new stores, if you are in the Quad Cities check out my other friend, Aimee's new store Mint Green Boutique in the Village of East Davenport!

I've been recovering from a hip flexor pull - at least that is my self diagnosis. Whatever...it hurt like hell and I could work out for about a week and a half. I'm getting back at it, but that week and a half wasn't kind to me!

Bryon has been continuing to work on the house day in and day out. Everything is looking great as it comes a long. I hope one day to have a clean and put together house again! And when that happens - party at the Crowleys!

This past weekend, we ran up to the lake for an Association meeting. We decided to spend the night and enjoy the beautiful morning by taking a run down by the beach to take a look at great summer days to come! We can't WAIT!!!!!!

Sunday night we had a BBQ at the Crowleys to celebrate Bryon's April 30th birthday...and mine too actually although I didn't know that was taking place. Thank you Crowleys! The food AND generosity is greatly appreciated. We had a great time hanging out w/the family.





This weekend we'll be heading down to Iowa for the weekend! We're looking forward to a round of golf, seeing family and friends and Mongolian Grill. YIPEE.
