Well I can't say enough about how blessed I am to be married to this man I call my husband! In God's infinite wisdom, He hand-picked the perfect man who would best compliment me and in the process of living life together refine my character, lead me closer to the Lord, share my joys and sorrows, and glorify God through this momentary marriage we have here on earth. I could never put into words how grateful I am for Kendall. The man of integrity he is, the way he loves his family well, how he speaks words of wisdom, how he lives a humble life, how he puts others first, and how he loves his Savior! I am so thankful for 4 years of marriage to this incredible husband and daddy to our girls and pray God grants us many more if it be His will! He planned a delayed anniversary trip for us (June 21st is our actual anniversary!) in September for several reasons. 1. We needed babysitters for a week for our girls and 2. We got an incredible deal because it is their off-season. Those 2 reasons led us back to the same place we celebrated our 3rd anniversary!
Back to the Fairmont Mayakoba we went and boy was it even better than last year! (no pumping around the clock/waking up in the middle of the night to ensure a good milk supply!!) Needless to say, we felt sooo free on this trip and were able to just relax, enjoy spending time as husband and wife, re-evaluate where the Lord has us in life right now & discuss where we hope to be in the coming year. Such a great time for us to reflect on God's goodness and grace in our lives and plan out how we can be intentional with the time he has given us in this season in our parenting, in serving others, and being involved in our local church body through our small group! No distractions, great sleep, delicious food, fun excursions, and a break from our normal take care of two babies day in and day out routine! To say we had a fantastic time would be an understatement! Of course we missed our girls like crazy, but what a blessing for us to have time for just the two of us! We are so thankful for the resources God has given us to make this possible & grandparents who were willing to keep TWINS for 6 full days!
First night back at the Fairmont! Enjoying a nice dinner out at La Laguna! (And catching up on how our girls are doing in our absence :)
Our second day in Playa Del Carmen-enjoyed sleeping in late, lounging by the pool, and watching the sun set before dinner by the beach!
Enjoying a 5-course meal, courtesy of our food credit that came with our fantastic deal! =) (I've never met someone who could find such amazing travel deals at such extravagant places no less than my sweet hubby!)
We arrived to Mayakoba on Tuesday and since we had until Sunday there, I agreed to serve my hsuband by accompanying him on a little day trip to Chichen Itza, one of the seven wonders of the world (at least on some lists!) Definitely wasn't my idea of the perfect day, but the hubby got exactly the pictures he wanted and can not check this off his bucket list! (it's quite a long list he has by the way :)
A few snapshots of our beautiful resort! We love how big it is and yet how exclusive and quiet it has been during both of our visits! Helps to go during their slow season! The service is incredible and you feel like you have the whole resort to yourself :) Not bad for staying five nights for the price of ONE!
Enjoying the property! + chilling in our suite upgrade (another perk from our recent Fairmont credit card=)
Another enjoyable dinner at Las Brisas down by the beach! We had a little visitor join us at the end of our meal which was good or I may not have wanted to finish eating :)
SPA day! What a fun birthday treat for both of us! Not to mention we had the whole facility for just the two of us! So much fun!
One of our favorite things to do on vacation is have dinner at other nice resorts! We know we can't afford to stay there but we can manage a dinner out mixed with drinking tap water :) So here we are at the Rosewood in Mayakoba-what a fantastic resort and romantic dinner!
a little photoshoot on the green after dinner...testing out camera settings =)
and again back in our suite!
Kendall enjoyed his two for one golf deal and I rode with him on his 2nd round to enjoy the immaculate landscape and gorgeous views along the way! And to share in one of his passions =)
One of our favorite things here at the resort is riding the bikes all over!
Another dinner at a very unique and beautiful resort! Ate dinner at the Viceroy and the view was just incredible! These memories we made will stay with us forever, that's for sure! Too hard to describe how neat these places are to anyone!
Last lunch on the property! Grilled grouper sandwich and chicken quesadilla to fill us up before the journey home! Sure will miss this place, but even more than that, time together for just US!
