Our Honeymoon!


We stayed at Valentin Imperial Maya Resort in Mexico.  Which is pretty much in Playa del Carmen.  It was FABULOUS! We would go back in a heartbeat.  We had such a great time.  It is an adults-only, all-inclusive beach resort.  It was perfect for us.  Here are just a few photos from the trip, I have a TON! I am almost finished making my photobook (thanks to a slow night shift!) and I'll share it here if I can figure out how to. :)

We were greeted with cold towels, champagne and "Welcome Home"!




Our suite!





Mini-bar in the room! They refilled everyday.




We had a balcony and a terrace!




View from our room




Another view from our room




The gorgeous boardwalk to the beach!








I took pictures of every plate of food we ate, because it was A la carte dinners and they were sooo great! This is our last meal and Jeff is clearly impressed with me. ;) Haha!




In the city, Play del Carmen

All dressed up for dinner!

What we missed about home:

1. Ike

2. Family & friends

3. Drinking tap water

4. Dry climate

Favorite memories from Mexico:

1. Time together

2. Pools, beach, and sunshine

3. Delicious and unlimited drinks

4. No cooking, cleaning, etc.

5. Jeff speaking Spanglish

6. Telling street sellers we are brother and sister when they tried to talk us into a "honeymoon special"! (while holding hands walking down the street)

7. Conga line

8. Watching a guy sing "Like a Virgin" at Karaoke night! He was unbuttoning his shirt and lying on the pool tables.

9. Waking up from a nap on the beach to: "Buenos dias! Good morning! Something to drink?"

10. Finding shells and creatures along the shore.

Happiness!

Life has been a bit stressful lately but we are so happy for many reasons:
1. We leave for our honeymoon Sunday morning.
2. Jeff took his last final yesterday.
3. We move in to our new house June 7th.
4. My schedule for the next schedule period (End of May-Beginning of July) is better than it is now.
5. We have the Pass of All Passes for the 3rd year in a row and look forward to a fun-filled summer!
6. We found out that one of Jeff's friends from high school and her family live .2 miles away from our new home!
7. We're healthy.

We Bought a House!

There it is! Our home. :)  Jeff calls it Andreason Estates.

We are so excited to be homeowners! Jeff is really the kind of guy that is meant to own a home.  He is ALWAYS talking about projects and renovations; this will keep him busy. ;)  And my pinterest boards are buzzing with home ideas and crafts! So much fun.

It is on the East Bench in Bountiful tucked in the cutest little neighborhood.  It's 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with a finished basement.  It's on .25 acres with an awesome deck and patio out back.  It's so perfect for us and we're just so excited to move.  We are allowing the people we bought it from to back rent from us for a month, so our official move-in date is June 7th!

I will post more pictures once we get settled in.  Hooray!
