Haha! I kid. I know I am not slacking because I know we are accomplishing big bites out of life this year. Here is the roller coaster thus far...
Winter 2018 was long...long and cold. Not enough snow for any enjoyment, and it lasted forever. In fact, while trying to convince J to move {back} to the Midwest in 2016/2017, I told him "oh, you'll be golfing by St. Patrick's Day" ... well, not in 2018! Eeek! #eggonmyface
We managed to getaway for a few nights to an amazing adult-only, all-inclusive resort, UNICO 2087. It just so happened we were there for the resort's first anniversary which made it extra special. This resort is located just south of Playa del Carmen, Mexico and just knocked our socks off. We might even find a way to go back again in 2019.
April brought a few trips to Michigan for celebrations of life and love. We said our goodbyes to Jeremy's Grandpa, and took comfort in him being reunited with Grandma. We enjoyed celebrating the wedding shower of my sister and Jeremy's sister-in-law.
May was a whirlwind, also! I celebrated #CincoDeMarried with my sister's bachelorette bash in MI and J heading south to boat with the boys for his brothers bachelor party. We danced the night away and enjoyed a festive, fun weekend celebrating my sister's wedding in Grand Rapids, MI.
Immediately after, we dashed away to kick-start our summer at Beaches Turks and Caicos - the most gorgeous beach this side of the Caribbean. We visited Iguana Island and spent 7 glorious nights in paradise. We truly think this should be on every family's bucket list.
Summer was fun-filled with time spent at our dear friend's new lakehouse, at the lake near our home, VBS, recreation camps and lots of time spent at our neighborhood pool! We made the most of every drop of sunshine, as evident by these Coppertone girls.
We celebrated another family wedding in Michigan in August, followed by Jeremy's brother Joel's wedding in September - on a chilly but beautiful evening!
The fun didn't end there...we welcomed not one, but TWO new babies to the L family as J's sister and sister-in-law both gave birth to little baby boys...in the month of September.
Then...there is October... the 10+ month anticipation of the family Christmas gift last December...of a Disney Cruise! The girls have waited so soo patiently and it finally came to fruition over our fall break. While we were paying for flights to Orlando, we opted to start our trip with a surprise to Disney World for 4 nights.
And as we catch our breath in crisp, fall Indiana air...we have absolutely loved driving around our neck of the woods and pointing out our favorite coral colored maple leaves. It may be
We are finding ways to show our gratitude this month and counting our blessings. I will save that for another post...hopefully yet in 2018!
