My Heart Will Go On

For Christmas, Cameron scored serious points by making all my hopes and dreams come true. When I opened up the Celine Dion tickets he surprised me with, I may have shed a few happy tears, gave plenty of heart felt smooches, and instantly started counting down the days. February 22nd couldn't come soon enough!

You could say we "Drove All Night" and "The Power of Love" carried us through until we reached Caesar's Palace on Saturday night. I felt so "Alive" as we ("All by Myself") sang her songs for hours straight before the show. I about died of excitement on our way to the Colosseum and Cameron "Loved Me Back to Life." "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" as I write about that blessed night. Celine's wardrobe, orchestra, stage, and most of all her incredible voice and music was seriously amazing, "That's the Way It Is". The overall performance was, as my Mother-in-law warned me... almost as holy as General Conference.

I might be going overboard, thankfully Cameron was such a good sport and let me be as excited as I needed to be. I loved every minute of the show. Cameron definitely won husband of the year. "A New Day has Come" but "My Heart Will Go On".

-Sappy I know, but I thought it was creative-

In the excitement of getting to the theater, I left the good camera in the car... so bare with the iphone photos and the fact that I begged Cam to take a picture in front of every poster.

Cancun 2014

Thanks to Cameron's hard work at Vivint this past summer, we were able to enjoy a weekend getaway in Cancun recently. Let's just say we were just getting warmed up from the Utah chill by the time we had to head home. We could've stayed forever. We loved the clear warm ocean where the floury sand below is seen from the surface. The beach volleyball kept Cameron entertained for hours upon hours, as well as myself. His happy and energetic spirit was plenty of fun to watch on the sand court.

The evenings filled with fancy dinners were definitely a food lovers favorite, like ourselves. Our last night, we may have made a late reservation and didn't get into the restaurant we were hoping. So we enjoyed a first course (full appetizer and meal) at the Beach House restaurant, just to warm up and expand our tummies for the following dinner reservation at 10pm we were able to squeeze ourselves into. We indulged in more than enough Pina Coladas and a heavenly Mediterranean meal, then rolled ourselves back up to bed.

Something we would recommend for your next vacation to Cancun, would be the Tulum Ruins and Xel-Ha Park! Both had the most incredible views and beautiful scenery. We had such a good time and wished it wouldn't end. We feel so blessed to have jobs that allow us to have such fun experiences. Lots of thanks to Vivint and the leadership for the fun trip! Also, thanks to all the fun company. We loved getting to know some of our fellow Vivinteers better.

Adios Amigos,

Tacos for Thanksgiving

So blogging, I have a love/hate relationship with you.

I enjoy it so much and find the journaling important for our future family. Lately finding the time or making the time to keep it up has been challenging. The pressure to post right after a big event is definitely palpable, and the discouragement when I don't is--discouraging? But that's not the point right? Blogging is about documenting thoughts and moments that are worth remembering. Therefore, forgive my strolls down memory lane the next bit and probably forever. Thanks. 

Thanksgiving this year was unique. We spent 10 days in Cabo with Cameron's family and it was too fun. If you like street tacos, sunshine, reading, and beaches, then I highly recommend you start searching for deals on flights (that's what we do) and head on down to Mexico as soon as possible. I am definitely missing the weather and relaxation. 

Some of our favorite moments from the trip:

• Having the nieces and nephew to chase around and throw around in the pool
• Eating tacos at the delicious Guacamayas on Thanksgiving, instead of a turkey and sweet potatoes
• Playing sand softball in place of a turkey bowl
• Convincing the massage place to make a home stop and giving everyone massages (including my 5 year old niece, Kate) on the back deck while listening to the waves crash on the beach
• My first visit to Lovers Beach, hiking a treacherous rocky cliff (kinda) with a local who was a bit loco, just to find out we could have spared ourselves the bribery to park and intense hike and grazed the beautiful beaches on the North side. (but our way made for a better adventure)
• Jumping contests on the beach
• Game nights with the family when the kiddos went to bed. We learned quick who has lucky fingers and would be a wise partner in Vegas (and who would not... Mother-in-law).
• Dancing to live music at the restaurants
• Getting the birthday song more than enough times and a surprise breakfast in bed, planned by my sweet. 
• And spending time with my hunk husband and laughing til our stomachs hurt late at night. 

Twas the Thanksgiving to remember.

My cute sissy-in-law put together the funnest video of our trip. She also runs a darling blog. Check her out!

 Speaking of Thanksgiving, I am thankful for the life my Heavenly Father has blessed me with. It isn't perfect but I have far far more to smile and be happy about, which helps the struggles to be forgotten. As my sweet Granny Goose would say, "Live life with an attitude of gratitude". I think you would agree that there is no better way to live.
