Way Past Due.

Yes, it has been awhile since I have posted. Sorry to all those who read and have had nothing to read in the past month and a half. So much has gone by: My 25th birthday, EW's 26th, Thanksgiving, and our Honeymoon to Mexico!
I'm sure that the most interesting thing is the Mexico trip, so that's what I will ramble about today.
We left O'Hare on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. We woke up at 3am and EW's dad picked us up so we could make our 6:30 am flight. We made it to the Cancun Airport and to our wonderful resort, Secret's Silversands. It was a bit ineresting because we just happen to be there at the same time as this big Climate Conference, and the Mexican Military was on high alert. They had roads closed and everyone had a big automatic gun. I guess the place where it was taking place was only 3 mile away from our resort, which we went past everytime we went out of the resort.
Other than that, it was an amazing time. The whole time we were there it was in the mid-80's and perfect. It rained a couple nights, but it didn't during the day. We were able to go on a few trips while down there. We went on a shopping trip, that EW wasn't exstatic about, but he ended up having a good time. Also we went to the Mayan ruins, Chichen Itza. It is what EW really wanted to do, and I'm so glad we did it. It was so interesting and amazing to see.
The resort was great. The food was amazing, and the people were so friendly. They literally came around every 1/2 to 1 hr to see if we wanted anything. The drinks were always flowing. I don't think I have had that much to drink in the past year, but it was all so good!
They also had great entertainment and activities every day. We were able to see a magician, comedian, circus, dance troupe, and did wine tasting, tequila tasting, and martini mixing. I have to say, I would love to go back again!
On the way home however, we ran into a bit of security issues. First, they kept one of our carry on bags to go through it personally. All I could think was the Mexican police coming to take us away. They went through it, but didn't find what they 'thought' they would find, so sent it through the machine again, still didn't find anything, and finally let us go, with the bag. Then to get on the plane, we had to be patted-down and all of our bags had to be gone through by hand. This took forever, and along with the plane being late, we were over an hour late in leaving MX. We finally made it back to the US, and was greeted by...you guessed it, snow. EW was elated, but me, not so much. I still miss the sun, but putting up our Christmas tree and other decorations has made it more bearable.
Ok, enough words, here's some pics!
