Subject: End of a week

Hey. How are you? How was your week? How are things with your ami’s progressing? How was the baptism?

Things here have been a little more alive I guess if you will. We had crappy snow show up. And when I say crappy I mean the heavy wet and a whole lot of it crappy. I shoveled so B didn’t have to walk in the snow to get to the Millers van since Akaela was driving one day and holy cow. My arms were so sore! This next week should warm up enough that hopefully we can soon forget the cold.

Tyler and I celebrated 9 years of being sealed in the temple at the Chinese restaurant. B wasn’t up for joining us to celebrate that day that included her too so we made it quick.  We have been prepping to get ready to come to Cabo and having things here for grandma and Brooklyn too. Not much really. B is easy when it comes to food. She isn’t picky and that sure helps make it easy.

I have been apprehensive to come to Cabo because the last Mexico experience in Cancun was just not good. I didn’t feel safe going out, I hated the language barrier, and overall just unimpressed. Thankfully, Cabo has been very different. When we arrived it was a freaking joke to get through customs. After standing in line for almost 2 hours we learned that from March 6 - April 1 is college spring break down here. That line was just wow.

We went whale watching yesterday. It was fine. We found a couple but our boat driver wasn’t overly aggressive like other boat captains were so…I will see if I have a good video and send it to your Facebook to look at. When we got back we found a spot on the beach and the sun won in a couple spots on my person. My shoulders mostly but life will move on.

Today we will spend at the condo resort in the sunshine.  We have a spot under a cabana and a waiter who is ready to fill our waters and bring us anything we want to eat with a wave of a red flag. There are big huge yachts to watch roll in and out, fantastic people watching, I have a new book to read, and a nap already sounds good. Hard for me to be this lazy I won’t lie. But I think my body has enjoyed the slow down

Tomorrow we meet with a fishing guy and his boat bright and early. Tyler will go out and try to hook a marlin. Should be an experience to say the least. Monday will be back down to a cabana for more sunshine and we will have to go get a Covid test to go home on Tuesday too. When we landed in Cabo it was announced that the mask mandate has been extended through April 18 so a Covid test to re-enter stays too. Tuesday we check out of our room at 11 and head to the airport. We fly at like 3 and are home at 7pm or 7:30pm.

I enjoy a good escape but I also really love being home too. I’m glad we have given Cabo a try because it has been good and I really love the 2.5 hour direct flight too. Total game changer!

Anyways, I hope you have had a good week. I’m still trying to figure out a drop to get to you. Remind me the deodorant and pens you needed? I sure love ya.
