SOLD!!!

Yes, we did sell our house to the Highest, I mean ONLY bidder, but still!!!  We actually went under contract about 38 days ago and signed last Tuesday - YAY!!  We are now paying rent on this home which doesn't feel any different except when you stop and actually say that this house is someone else's now - weird!  And then I think about the weeding and lawn mowing I am doing for them too, lucky them:)
So, we rent until move-out day which is the 1st week of June.  We have been back and forth about where to live and finally decided to ask Spence's parents.  They have an actual basement apartment that we lived in about 8 years ago and they are very kindly letting us live there for the next 5 months!  Yes, it is tiny - only 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, but it has a separate entrance and a full kichen -  just think of the lack of cleaning I will have to do!  Anyway, we are all very excited and construction on the new house will hopefully start next week - yikes - it's all going SO fast!
Packing - here I come....

Tripity Trip!!

We had such a good time in Mexico - loved every minute of my laziness as well!  Really, I did work out the first 3 days and then I just sort of stopped and decided to do the lazy thing and I loved it!!  We started off at the Secrets Maroma  for 4 days and then went to Zoetry for the next 3 days and both reorts were SO amazing.  We had stayed at the Secrets Maroma last time and loved it and Zoetry was new for us and we loved it as well.  Their rooms don't have numbers, they have names.  Ours was Isfahan - I didn't remember it until the 3rd day there:)  All of the staff were so funny about us not drinking alchohol - especially at Zoetry because it is such a small resort (so small that the waiters usually memorize all of the guests names - impressive no??) that they started joking around and saying that they put extra shots of tequilla in our drinks or saying "oh, no alchohol right?" - it was hillarious!  Spence went diving one of the days and snorkeled a few times, but I really just stayed on the beach or by the pool and read my books - I got through 3 full books - that's how lazy I was!!  Spence even finished one whole book which is amazing for him - he never sits around an reads books.  My favorite drink on the trip was the Bahama Mama - SOOOOO GOOD!!  I think it is a mix of Pina Colada, Strawberry, and orange - amazing!  The food was amazing at both resorts, but again at Zoetry, it was just SO good!  The desserts there were fabulous too - hmmm.. see why I am having such a hard time thinking about cooking dinner tonight??
It was so fun just to hang with Spence and relax and not worry about anything for a week - we are SO glad that Cindy and my mom (especially my mom) took the kiddos and made it possible for us to even go!  Thanks you two!!  Here are some pics!
