The sad reality is...

That we're back from Mexico and have worked 3 days already...I'll post a couple of pictures after they are downloaded.

Today is a rainy, cold day in SLC, quite a difference from the sun and warmth of Mexico. Okay, I'll stop whining!

It was marvelous, we had a lot of fun and ate way too much of the resorts gourmet food!

OH MY! This is quite the resort!

Check out the place we are staying at in Mexico. It is an all inclusive resort and so far it has been an incredible place to stay. The food is fantastic; last night we had dinner at the French restaurant and tonight the Lobster House...where only shrimp and lobster are served. Here is the link to the Excellence Riviera Cancun:

Today we visited Tulum...one of the sites of ancient ruins. We had been there before but it was amazing again. The song, "Book of Mormon Stories" kept running through my head! We also shopped a little in Playa del Carmen.

If you get chance to come here take it from us...we highly recommend this resort.

Be Happy!

Thought for the week:
Be Happy!
Love ya, Peg

They made me cry!

Last night I was sitting in the upstairs TV room waiting for dinner to arrive, (Tim had ordered pizza because I went visiting teaching right from work) when Amy walked in carrying a baby...this baby was wrapped in a blanket and I couldn't see all of it...then I took a double take and THE BABY WAS JACK!!! Everyone says they wish they had a camera close because the look on my face was worth saving! Of course, being the softy I am, I got all teary, hugged and kissed him, then went to find Angela and hug her...she was just coming in the door. MY WHOLE FAMILY kept the secret that Ang and Jack were flying in for a few days... everyone knew but me! What a wonderful surprise!!! I have a ritual with Jack every morning that they are with us. I greet him with "Good Morning Gill" (remember What About Bob? when Bill Murray's character said good morning to his fish?) This morning Jack laughed so hard at me that he seemed delirious every time I said it to him...I didn't think I was so funny--I also think it's my voice inflections. Thanks fam, it is great having them here!
