Viva Mexico!!!

Well, the countdown has finally begun. In less than two weeks Matt and I will be laying on the beach enjoying a cerveza or two! It seems like so long ago that I booked this trip, and in no time it will be here. We will be staying at the Riu Yucatan in the small town of Playacar on the Mayan Coast from February 19 - 24, and then travelling up to the hotel zone in Cancun to stay at the Riu Cancun from February 24 - 26. We are planning a snorkeling trip to Tulum, as well as some shopping in Cancun. We are looking forward to having some much needed time off, and time together without the daily grind of school and work.

This trip is not all rest and relaxation. While in Cancun, Matt and I will be scoping out our wedding site. We are thinking of a beach ceremony at sunset, but we want to make sure this is the destination we want to get married in. 11 months and counting!!!

Matt is really enjoying his job at the hospital, and I feel like I am settling in at Tristone. Very glad to be finished at the travel agency, and things here are great. Matt drives me to and from work most days, but I have taken the bus and it's not too bad. Parking downtown is well over $500 per month, something that Matt and I can't even consider at this point! I'm trying to find more people to go for lunch with, as an hour can be a really long time when you've got nothing to do!

This weekend found Aaron and Karen in Calgary for the night. A gathering at the Ship & Anchor was all it took to get them into their car and driving here from Medicine Hat. It was really nice to have weekend guests, and we hope their next visit is sooner rather than later.

Devin, Angie, and Shane are talking about coming to Calgary to do some snowboarding this month. Devin got some new gear last time he was here, and he's dying to try it out. Hopefully things work out so that we are actually in town we they come out and not in Mexico! I would really like to get another day of boarding in this month!

We are also getting very excited about the upcoming wedding of Mike and Caroline. It is set for the long weekend in May and Matt is the best man. They are all heading to the mountains for a weekend of boarding and poker for the bachelor party, and we think that's a great time to plan a bachelorette party/girls weekend as well. A whole weekend without the boys, what will we do........

I will try to post again before we leave on our 'pre-weddingmoon' but if I don't, we'll have many great pictures for you when we return!!! Hope to see everyone very soon,
