Para-Para-Paradise

The flu has finally (!!) left our household and life is back to normal. Sunshine and margaritas pool side. Okay maybe not exactly normal, but a pretty perfect Thursday for us. 

Yesterday we booked two tickets to Vancouver for the end of February. This girl is mucho excited!! There is a curly haired dog I am very anxious to be reunited with! Lucky for us our layover is in Phoenix, where I had an eight hour layover this summer. All. By. Myself.. sigh. But this time I get to have my best pal with me, and we get to experience Chelsea's Kitchen which I discovered last time I was there. It is a seriously AMAZING restaurant. If you happen to be in Phoenix please stop by. It was a wonderful experience I am very excited to share it with my love! 

On another note, we are counting down the days until we are joined down here in Cabo with our lovely family and friends. It is getting pretty difficult to contain our excitement seeing how it is coming up so quick. Getting to experience this place with all our loved ones in one place is going to be a real treat. Also it is so nice to give everyone the excuse to take a sunny vacation! The joy that travelling gives ones self is something that cannot be explained, and is only meant to be experienced! We are so happy to spread a little of that joy around. Something about hoping on a plane, or a train, or a road trip and arriving somewhere that is completely new to you is just so incredible. I can't imagine what it will be like to be in such a beautiful place with so many beautiful people. Please excuse my cheese level. I am just ridiculously excited. It's been too, too long since we have seen some of your faces!

With so much distance between our hometowns this will be one of the few occasions in our lives when we get to have all our friends and family under one roof so it is hard to put into words how much it means to us to have so many people we love make the trip down for us and to celebrate in style the fact that we are getting MARRIED!! Happy, happy days. 

Yesterday I went and picked up my wedding dress after a few alterations. I have to say, she is a beauty! I can't wait to show you all, but unfortunately you have to wait! Blake was still under the weather yesterday, so I had a solid fifteen minutes prancing around in it while I made him hide under the covers. I think I may have to factor it in to my everyday wardrobe. How is one expected to wear something so beautiful only once! It is a crime I tell ya. My mission to pick up the dress also included picking up lunch. I went to our favorite lunch spot "Pollo de Oro" It is a local chicken and ribs place that hardly costs a thing. I have to say I was a little nervous strolling in there with a wedding dress, but it seemed pretty silly to make two trips. I mean really the chances of ribs or chicken flying at me are pretty low. We made it home safe, dress and I. She is safely hanging in the closet waiting for her big moment (Is it just me or do I sound slightly insane referring to my wedding dress as a her?) I am in love, what can I say!

I hope your Thursday was lovely, and not too chilly!
