After a long summer of working the doors, the boys earned a trip with their company.
I was so excited for this trip because it was my first friend trip ever.
I know, I am already married, but I had still yet to go on a friend trip.
I was looking forward to this trip
and could not wait to get out of the Utah and hit the water.
We were planned to go to the Caribbean on a cruise.
But when we turned up at the airport Friday night all of the flights to the east
coast had been canceled.
There had been a huge storm and the Atlanta airport did not have the right equipment to get an inch of snow of the tar mac so they shut down the whole airport.
Can you believe that?
An inch of snow.
I mean they could of have gotten some tractors out there and got it off but they didnt.
I was enraged.
Never in all of my years of traveling had I not been able to get somewhere.
All the planes on the entire coast were down and there was no way to get to Florida.
I was devastated.
As we fell asleep that night, I felt like crying.
I had already arranged with all of my teachers to miss a week of school and
I was not ready to go back to reality.
The next morning their was no hope in sight.
But later that afternoon there was a breakthrough.
With the hard work of Dustin's buddies they made a deal with their boss.
They made arrangements for us to spend a couple of days in Cancun.
I was perfectly fine with that because I had never been to Mexico before.
But the only catch was we had to leave from the Las Vegas airport
because it was so much cheaper.
This turned out to be an added plus because we got to stay with my family.
So after what seemed like days and days of traveling we finally made it to Cancun.
I could not believe how incredible and beautiful Cancun is.
The beaches were pure white, with the bluest waters I've ever seen.
We ended up staying at the nicest hotel ever and got preferential treatment,
because the place was dead.
It was the off season so we felt like we owned the place.
There was no one on the beaches and it was nice to be secluded.
We spent most of time there just being lazy.
We pretty much just ate, slept, laid on the beach, and hung out.
It was the perfect vacation.
We did play a couple of games of volleyball, soccer, and the boys of course played football.
Ryan had a big collision and his foot swoll up pretty big.
We thought that we broke it but after icing it for a while it was looking a lot better.
I did jam my toes and a couple of my toe nails fell off.
Which is never fun
We take any competition very seriously.
My favorite part was the food.
I love authentic, greasy, Mexican food.
Dustin and I's favorite part of any vacation is trying out new places.
We think that you should never go hungry when you are on vacation.
It's the only rule we live by.
The funniest night of the whole trip was when Branson proposed to Shelly.
Branson had this whole thing planned that he would ask Shelly on
Valentines Day on the cruise ship.
But when we didnt go on the cruise we had to come up with some other plans.
So we had this whole situation set up.
Branson was going to take Shelly on a walk on the beach and the
rest of us would set up the flowers and candles to spell out "Marry Me".
Sounds like a great idea right?
Well it didnt go quite as planned.
We didnt factor in the wind and it blowing out the candles.
So we were all frantically running around trying to find a spot that wasn't windy.
Well we could never really find a spot.
So ended up putting the stuff in the outdoor restaurant and it didnt spell
out anything because we ran out of time.
We didnt have time to get out so we got to watch the whole proposal.
It was a funny moment and one I wont forget.
