Two Lists, One Earthquake, and the Mexican Police

Ten things we DID in Mexico...

1. Watched an entire season of Prison Break (yes, 22 episodes in 7 days).
2. We laughed together...alot.
3. Faith came with a list of things to talk about...and we made it through the entire list!
4. I also came with a list. We made it through my list too.
5. Loved the weather. It was perfect, every day!
6. Survived our first earthquake. Well, Faith grew up in Alaska, so it wasn't her first one.
7. I read not one, or two, but three novels. Faith read three books also, including Pop Goes the Church.
8. Relaxed. 6 out of 7 days we had the same routine: Sleep in, lay in sun by pool, eat dinner, hang out.
9. Got stopped by the Mexican police. They tried hard to get us to give them some money. We held out and they eventually let us go.
10. Watched the infamous La Quebrada cliff-divers.

Five things we DIDN'T do...

1. Wear a watch.
2. Get up early.
3. Make our beds.
4. Wear jackets.
5. Fix any meals.

the place where you stayed looks amazing. where was it? do you recommend it?

John - we were at the Grand Mayan in Acapulco. It was wonderful. Some friends made it possible for us to use a timeshare week through RCI. It was a great vacation.

Tim, I'm SO happy for you and your wife, that you had such a great time connecting with each other and hopefully with God.

Ministry is one of the hardest jobs around (besides being a wife, as I'm sure Faith would agree with) and sometimes we all need some time just to relax, laugh, take our watches off, and not make our beds. =)
