Finally I am sitting down to write about our happily ever after! The house is almost completely set up and we are back in our groove at both school and work. Sean is extracting more and more teeth by the day, and I am holding up to my New Year's resolution by not complaining about work. (I found that if I take a hot shower when I get home from work, it relaxes me and I don't unload about my job that I love to hate). Sean has been working hard in his new calling as Young Men's President, and I just had my first opportunity to serve in my new calling as the Sunbeam teacher. I love teaching little three year olds! It reminds me of when I lived in Boston and spent all day everyday, looking after and answering all of the three year old, that I nannied, Teddy's, questions. I just loved him!
Anyways, back to the moneyhoon. We flew from Salt Lake to Georgia, where we spent the night in the lovely Ramada near the Atlanta airport. We were up by 5:30 to catch our flight to Cancun. When we arrived, we rented a car and drove to our AMAZING resort. The suite was like a condo. We had a large bathroom and bedroom, dining room, living room and kitchen. We also had a balcony with a jacuzzi bathtub on it looking out at the beach. Aside from sitting in a loooooonnnnngggg timeshare presentation, we played volleyball on the beach with other resortees, built sand castles, went into the nearby town and bought groceries for meals throughout the week, toured Tulum (ancient Mayan ruins), walked the beach several nights, went shopping in the little village near the resort, and had Thanksgiving dinner at the resort's restaurant with all the other caucasions. The dinner was great! They tried to make Thanksgiving foods for us just like the U.S.. Tried is the operative word, it definitely tasted like a Latin Thanksgiving meal, and was very yummy!
Swimsuits were constantly on, salt water was up our noses, sand was in every crevice, make up was never on, and love was in the air (awwww).

WE LOVE TULUM! That was the most BEAUTIFUL place I've ever been.
I have been dying for an update. Looks like you guys had a great time!!! That resort looks like the same one we stayed in--was it the Barcelo Resort by some small chance?? Long shot. Keep the upates coming!! Love ya.
BEAUTIFUL! You were def. glowing, no need for makeup at all! Hey, I was just barely thinking of you; no joke, just like 20 minutes ago while I finished my cleaning around the house. I'm not sure how it was you came to mind; maybe it's because I've been worrying abt who I should go to now that you're not around to do my hair. I went to Remediez in the mall in November and I hated the cut and color job the girl gave me. That's the 4TH thime I've been there, each time with a different gal and every time I hate the outcome. Anyhow, that's besides the point. I feel absolutely TERRIBLE I not only missed your wedding shower, (I'm really not sure why either), but I also missed your WEDDING!!! It was Spencer's birthday that same evening so we were up in Salt Lake all afternoon/evening. I tried to send you a text message that day to wish you the best on your special day, but then a day later I realized I sent it to the wrong Rachel in my phonebook and NOT you, oops! Anyhow, I saw some of wedding pics, they were gorgeous (I LOVED LOVED LOVED your dress). Wish I could have been there. I'm happy to hear you're finally beginning to get things settled in your new home; I imagine the holidays were EXTRA busy being newlyweds. Could you text or send me on facebook your mailing address??? I need it to send your wedding gift. Thanks. Congrats again! -Stephanie
