Viva la Mexico!

Hello all! Brent and I returned from our vacation in Mexico last week, and it was just what we needed! We had a great time, relaxing in the sun and spending time together. We stayed at the Marival Resort in Nuevo Vallarta, just outside Puerto Vallarta. It was a beautiful resort! But, while we were there, we upgraded to their new "luxury" addition, the Marival Residence. It was absolutely amazing! The room was wonderful, the resort was beautiful, and the food was fantastic. And as an added bonus for Brent, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders were at our resort, shooting their 2011 calendar spread. It's quite a hit to the self esteem to be in your swimsuit around those girls! While we were there, they had the resort's grand opening party, which was quite the soire! We had a great time! It was difficult to leave, but it was great to come home to Piper...I missed her so much!

Brent and I will be making sure we have time for traveling from now on. While at the resort, we attended a "timeshare" presentation. And we ended up signing up! We aren't sure if we got suckered in or not, but it seems like a great deal! So not only do we have a "timeshare" at this resort, we also get bargain discounts at tons of hotels and resorts, as well as flights and events. I also think it'll be a great opportunity to take vacations with our families and friends. So, we think it will be a good thing for us!

Brent has been busy at work since we returned. For him, it's difficult to go on vacation and come back to a huge pile of work and a million emails! (Luckily I don't have that problem!) Since the restructuring at his company, he now has employees in the Phillippines, and he's been informed he may have to go there. I'm not very excited about that, but duty calls I guess!

My 5K run is now exactly a month away! I don't know that I'm ready yet! My training program has me running 3 days a week, but I don't think that's enough. My endurance isn't improving like it should. So I think it's time to ditch the training program and step it up a little bit!

Summer will be here before we know it! I'm sure it will be another busy summer for us, what with Brent's softball and baseball schedules, work, sand volleyball for me, and trips to the lake! It will also be a busy summer for weddings! Starting in May, we have 6 weddings to attend this summer, including ones in St. Louis and Colorado! Should be a fun summer...can't wait! Hope is all is well with everyone!
