Hola! Back from Mexico

Lowell and I made it back from Puerto Vallarta late last night - very late, thanks to a rain storm in Denver that delayed our flight by hours. Oh well, we made it home safe and sound, with an anxious Ryker waiting to greet us.
Mexico was awesome! We swam and tanned, rented jet skis, got massages, kayaked, Lowell went para-sailing (not me - too scared of heights!), I did yoga on the beach, and we both got extremely sea-sick on our last day during the 7-hour boat tour out to the Marietta's Islands. That part was not so fun, but it was probably exactly what we needed to prepare us to leave the resort - otherwise, we may have never wanted to come home! The Dreams Resort & Spa is a wonderful place - all inclusive, including drinks, food, taxes, tips, and tons of activities. We highly recommend it and definitely want to return someday...but I think we'll skip the boat tours!

What a Beautiful Day

Well, we made it through the wedding! Thank God, it was a beautiful day. We were sweating the weather for a while the week before, since it rained constantly. But Saturday was wonderul - warm and sunny. The wedding went wonderfully...from what I remember! I was a little nervous and calmed myself down with a few glasses of white wine. Fortunately millions of pictures were taken and our friend Tony Hathaway was there with video camera in hand! I wasn't sure why it was so important to all my Diva Soma friends that the event be on film...until the reception started. That's when the girls surprised Lowell and I with the best wedding present ever! A special performance by Rania, our favorite belly dancer all the way from L.A.! The pics of my face are priceless! I was in total shock. Those crazy Diva Soma girls! ;) I love them so. :) :)
It was truely a day to remember. Lowell and I are so happy that so many of our friends and family blessed us with their presence or their thoughts and prayers. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.
Stay tuned for photos...
