The Honeymoon, Part 1: The first impression

This is the first part in a series of reports on our honeymoon. Yes, there will be lots of rambling on and pictures, so consider yourself warned.

We flew into the Cancun airport where we met our driver who took us to our hotel. The hotel was freakin' fancy and beautiful. It is called the Valentin Imperial and is an all-inclusive five-star resort located south of Cancun (between Cancun and Playa del Carmen). When we got there, they learned we were honeymooners and that the room we reserved had 2 beds in it, so they upgraded our room to this fancy-shmancy beauty.

And what is a fancy room without its own jacuzzi bathtub?

The lobby was also fancy, and the scenery was AMAZING!

The resort had a fantastic pool, and walking just a couple of minutes beyond it lead you straight to the hotel's beach (which was by far the best beach I have ever been on).

Almost there....

Just beyond the palm trees is this....

All we did the first day is lay out at the beach and pool. I got a little red in the face (as you'll see in future pictures). Allison got really tan.

Is it time for lunch? Just head over to the restaurant that's located on the freakin' beach.

There will be a whole entry dedicated to the food we ate, since it was all fancy (ex. I had escargot for the first time).

That's all for Part 1. Stay tuned for more of our multi-part series "The Honeymoon: Why the Heck did I Come Back?"

Back from the honeymoon...

Detailed reporting (including copious pictures) are forthcoming. Stay tuned.

Another college dance.

Another college page! I did this for a challenge over at Stamp Something. The technique I used was Faux Silk. I stamped on purple tissue paper with black ink then adhered it to purple rose paper. I used Fancy Pants, Bella Brush and Unity Stamps. I used some stickers I got at the $1 store that are awesome! Making Memories sentiment rub-on and Amanda Blu rub-on, the red circle.

Notes

I'm hoping Kristin got her package by now, but I haven't heard anything. Well this was the rest of her winnings (and some dove chocolates). I made this little personalized notebook for her. The stamps I used are by a new company called Unity. The dp is by Colorbok .

I used diamond embossing powder on this stamp which says Imagine. It is super sparkly which you could tell in real life.

Here Comes Mommy with Her High Heeled Shoes on

The title of this post is important. And if you are not in my immediate family you don't know how it is supposed to go. This is one of my family sayings that came from one of us (Matt, Holly or me) as kids. It is supposed to be said in a high pitched voice and there is a kind of tune to it.

What is a saying from your childhood?

Girl Friends

Another college page, yay! I had a few pictures of different times throughout my freshman year with Roxy and Jen. Decided to just have a page with all the pictures as opposed to a page with different friends on it. I made this page off of Lotus Paperie's sketch challenge this week

Morning Shot

I went to Livermore Tuesday night to scrapbook with Ashley. Therefore, Daddy put Rebecca to bed. He didn't put any pj's on her and when I heard her wake up on Wednesday morning she was standing in her crib. I put down on the ground and got the camera to take a picture. I have never seen this happen before. Its normally all the way off or just one strap holding it, not this though...(don't worry its been edited)
