This last weekend was so much fun! Curtis turned 30 on Friday and we had a surprise birthday party for him on Saturday! Thank you so much to all of our wonderful friends who made it possible for us to have such a fun party! I can’t thank you enough!
Earlier on Saturday we went to the zoo with my nephew, my mom and my sister. I just love this picture of Nathan and grandma hanging out at the zoo.
And I just had to post this picture of my good friend Shanel’s baby boy. His name is Bryson. Isn’t he just perfect? I hadn’t seen him since he was just a few weeks old. I can’t believe how much he’s grown and changed. Shanel and Brian, thank you for coming and bringing Bryson. We all loved spending time with you.

We just got back from our super relaxing vacation! We were in Aruba for a week and it was amazing. Aruba to me felt like Mexico in Europe or a Giant Disneyland where the theme is the beach.

Most days we just slept in, ate breakfast, went to the beach (where we slept some more), enjoyed the constant breeze, read a few books, jumped in the ocean, took another nap, and followed it up with a fancy dinner. By the way, if this was Disneyland, my favorite rides had to be the restaurants. We had everything from Belgium to Dutch, Brazilian, Japanese, Aruban, and Italian. Oh yes and we also had “Two, two a day”. Two scoops of a new flavor of ice cream two times a day.

Ok, so it wasn’t all rest, relaxation and “engordation” (that’s my new word for fattening myself up). We did some fun things too. We rented a jeep and drove around the island, we found some indian ruins, the natural pool, the natural bridge, the lighthouse and checked out the other side of the island where people go to surf. We also sailed on a cataramaran and snorkeled around a ship that sunk during World War II.

Here are some pictures from the trip.
