IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO TO PLAYA DEL CARMEN, DO IT!
“I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”
Mothers,
“Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. …Do the best you can through these years, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones….The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you…. If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do….Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: ‘Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mighty to save.’ Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And ‘press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope.’ You are doing God’s work.”
Jeffrey R. Holland, “Because She Is a Mother,” Ensign, May 1997

that is exactly why paul refuses to go to mexico without someone who speaks fluent spanish. we have already discussed that you and micah would be the perfect traveling companions for a vacation in mexico- you just proved us right... a lawyer who can speak fluent spanish! glad you had fun and that you are back safe!
Oh my goodness that looks like a little piece of heaven. You are so lucky to have gone to mexico with out children. That beach looks great! We will plan a trip to
Mexico when Troy graduates. Hopefully my girls' spanish will be good enough to bribe the police.
Wow! Looks like you guys had a terrible time and missed your kiddos sooooo much that you just couldn't wait to get back! Yeah right, looked more like a second honeymoon. Gorgeous beach, adventures galore!! Sign me up!
What an amazingly fun looking vacation! I always dreamed of a wedding on the beach but didn't of course for obvious reasons. I loved all those pictures.
I was also pleasantly surprised to like Twilight the movie. I too, want to see it again.
Hope you had a good birthday celebration!
beautiful!
Looks like a dream - so glad you guys got to go!
Looks like you guys had a great time. I love all the people swimming in the background...so fun! So, I totally had to pay off some French police once...oh, the corruption!
Dang, it sure sounds like you guys had an awesome time! And (though I'd be freaking out if it were me), having a couple of run-ins with the law does lead to some great stories after the fact, right? Thanks for the pictures.
