Time out for Women

I went to Time out for Women in SLC with my mom, sisters, sister-in-law and her sister and mom...and we had ALOT of fun!

Ashley, my mom, and I stayed overnight in SLC...and Ashley broke out her wood craft projects to start painting at 1:30 AM!!!

In the morning when I asked how she had slept (because I slept like crap), she said, "Wonderful! No little kids to come wake me up!!!" I had forgotten about that little detail of her life!

I just love how all 4 of us have different color hair and eyes!
The Conference was wonderful! Very entertaining and uplifting! I think we'll make it an annual event!

Of all the FAMILIES in the WORLD...

...I'm so HAPPY I got MINE!!!

Aren't you happy Families are Forever!

We had my family over for our Annual Halloween Family Party, and it was a BLAST! The costumes were AWESOME!



My sister even had people taking pictures of her from the street when she opened the door to hand out candy to trick or treaters!

At my office Halloween party, Sarah Palin herself came to visit!!!

Don't I have some of the cutest neices & nephews around!!!

Murder Mystery #2

So, we had our Annual Halloween Murder Mystery dinner party the day before Halloween...and it did not disappoint!

This years theme was "Roman Ruins" and we were honored to have present Cleptopatra, Disgustus Caesar, a Senator, Prophet, Soldier, affluent Business Woman, Vestal Virgin, and Roman Party Girl! What a crowd we were!

Once again, our dinner was not ready until around 9:00 PM...and our guests were STARVING!!! Apparantely, Jordan and I are too used to eating dinner really late! Once we got food in our Roman guests, they were pleasant again, and up for a good night of laughter and accusations!

Thanks again Brimleys, Days & Nichols! Once again, you did not disappoint!

Mexico, anyone?

While Jordan and I were in Mexico this past August, we (unwittingly) attended a timeshare presentation for the "sister" resort of the one we were staying at. While the timeshare presentation sucked...the resort was AWESOME! And for our time and suffering, they compensated us with a certificate for a 7 night stay at one of their resorts!

Here's the catch...you have to pay a "nominal" all inclusive fee for your stay, but the hotel cost is covered. In plain english...you get a GREAT discounted rate at a GREAT resort to be used anytime with in the next year.

In looking at our schedules, Jordan and I don't think we'll be able to use the certificate before it expires (8/23/10). So, we're offering it here. If you think you and your spouse/friend (and up to 2 children under the age of 12) will be able to use it, please let me know.

I tried to included a scanned copy of the certificate and the email response I received from the resort stating the AI fee at both of the resorts for various times of the year, but it wouldn't let me upload a PDF. So, I'll include the AI fee's for each resort below:
Sandos CARACOL/PLAYACAR
1/4 - 1/31/2010 $152/ $198
2/1 - 4/1 $182/ $232
7/1 - 8/25 $152/ $134

*These rates are for 2 adults per night.


When Jordan and I went, we stayed at Sandos CARACOL. It was nice, the food was good, and the staff were all friendly. However, in our one day visit to Sandos PLAYACAR we determined that the food is better and the beach is about 100% better here than at the resort we stayed at. If we were to go back, we would stay at the PLAYACAR. However, the certificate is good for either one, and the AI fees are a bit higher at the PLAYACAR resort.

First response takes it!
