Costa Rica!

Last week Randy and I went to Costa Rica to see our good friends Chad and Hilari get married on a gorgeous beach at sunset. We needed that trip! Seeing 2 friends who are so perfect for each other get married in a beautiful ceremony plus an ATV tour, ziplining, lots of great seafood, laying by the pool, sleeping in, spending lots of time with good friends, beautiful sunsets, and I actually got to start and finish TWO books!

Nonni and Papa (my parents) stayed at our house to keep Blake. That was the first time I had ever spent a single night away from Blake, much less four. And let's not forget I left the country! I missed him a ton but did a lot better than I thought I would and Blake did great too. A Skype session and lots of emails and texts from Nonni and Rhonda so I knew exactly what he was wearing and doing throughout the day. I mademost of his food beforehand and put together an extensive Blake manual that included a menu, likes/dislikes, daily routine, and general safety tips that Nonni followed to a tee (I've never actually written that word out but it is "tee" and not "t" fyi). Blake had a great time with them and so did Nonni and Papa. I get the feeling they had a harder time leaving him this trip. Here's one of the pics I got during the trip of Blake filling up his cozy coupe:

Here's some of our pics from the trip (no Facebook account needed):
