It's WARM in Mexico!



So you read the title and say DUH it's Mexico in the summer! Well also knowing this I decided screw it i haven't ran in FOREVER so why not today.... here is the after image!


Hot, Sweaty, Nasty MESS!


Well besides doing something good for the body today.... I totally finished the other half of our thank you cards!! A huge accomplishment because lets face it.... who really loves writing them??
Don't get me wrong they are a very nice gesture and the least one can do when they recieve a lovely gift but it will probably take a month for them just to get to mom's house from Cabo! They will hang in customs for while where more than likely they will each get individually opened to see if they contain anthrax or someother crazy drug that stems from abroad. Hopefully after be put back in the envelope they originated where half (hopefully) will make it! Oh Mexico thank you for all that you bring into the world and your silly ways!

We truely have so much to look forward to as we begin our life here in cabo and it all started 6 years ago in Auburn, Alabama. This day was the most fitting way to say our ta ta for now to ole AU and thanks to all our family and friends it is a day we will always remember!!!

TACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!!

So tonight got to venture out and have some delicious tacos from a fine establishment called Pepes! In the words of my lovely husband "Their meats are succulent!! I took some pics!

Here we have your standard Steak tacos on corn tortillas! Underneath are Ty's Pastor tacos (pork that on a skewer prepared Gyro style!!!)



Taco Bell WHAAAAT!!!!

It's all making sense now.... this is why they say not to drink the water and specifically say not to get ice in your drinks.... You have all been warned!! :D
Don't forget our internet is up at the house now so we do have our house phone which you are more than welcome to call at 334.246.4429!! More updates soon!

We've landed!

So we've been in cabo now for 4 days and it really is paradise!! We lucked out when we got here because the day before it rained which brought in the cooler weather! We also lucked out because we didn't get much slack for all 6 large bags that we brought full of wedding gifts and clothes which would have usually been taxed wasn't the case for us! Monday or day 1 was an unpacking day and trying to figure out what all essentials we needed! Tuesday was more active. We went out and got our internet set back up, grocery shopped, and still worked on sprucing up the house! Wednesday Ty had to go back to work which was a bitter sweet feeling... It's hard to jump back in after 6 weeks of not working but he was excited to get back into the swing of things! My first day away from him in literally 6 weeks was strange but exciting at the same time! I walked around to get my barings set on the area, find cute little shops and possible restaurants to test out. I also unknowingly found my first job prospect and information leading to another! I stumbled apon a local newspaper, walked in and spoke with the editor for quite a while! He mentioned the possibility of doing some free lance writing once or twice a month for a good rate and even better get paid in dollars! It's about 4 blocks from the house and 1 block from Capella! He mentioned I had some opportunities there and I could get really creative and even have a bi-monthly segment! I was also given great information about Cabo Mil, Cabo's only radio station, that could really help me get back into my passion!! Apparently the gringo who does the news (which is in English) isn't something special so hopefully they will give me a shot and at least listen to my demo! Keep all your fingers, toes, legs, arms, and whatever else you can crossed for positive feedback from Cabo Mil! Today is Thursday or day 4!! We finally got the internet back and in full swing here at the house, vonage up and going, and the day is yet again immaculate!! When Ty got home last night he mentioned that the hotel also had a few openings in a new high end boutique they are opening for guests and locals and also a personal assistant position. Both would be extremely fortunate to have and I am keeping patient until we hear more news!! It would be lovely to have something by next week!! Not working for 6 weeks (well besides on the wedding) has been enjoyable but the time has come to get back to the grind!! We love you all so much and it's so fun how many ways we are able to stay connected! Keep in mind our home phone number is through vonage and you can call for free anytime of the day. That number is 334.246.4429! Also right now we do not have an actual address here at the house but I am going to run out today and get some PO BOX related system so when Christmas rolls around, birthdays, etc. you can send cards. Any boxes would need to be sent to the hotel and that address is
