Overload and yes I am back!

My blog world!! I have missed all of you. I took a leave of absence trying to adjust to the new job in SICU!! Adjusting and doing fine...still nauseous on my way to work but learning to live with it. Lots of new experiences, actually every day I go to work there is something new....Curt is working lots of different places and we try to meet in the middle for a few days, usually in St. George. Otherwise. Life is good. Finally caught up on the blog....sorry post overload ;) Hope the holidays treated you all well. Happy New Year!!

My sister's sis-in-law makes these gloves (dishwashing gloves) and she gave them to the girls in the family. Washing dishes in STYLE!! thanks T.

Every year we exchange names and buy ornaments for each other instead of presents and then we all tell why we chose that ornament for the person. Some touch our hearts and others make us laugh!! It was a great year. Except I noticed I didn't get a picture of Curt's or mine....oops.

Christmas Cancun Style

Yes, we went to Cancun from the 12th-20th!! It was the BEST vacation!! Just Curt and I!!

This is the resort, a view from the beach!! The best sand EVER!

Our beach right outside our door.

We both did a whole lot of this. I read two books and Curt read 1 1/2!!

We also did a whole lot of this :) R&R

Free Taco lunch!!

Made some new friends...I was with Curt, it would not be an outing with Curt if we didn't make new friends :) Bill and Mayme, from Reno. Curt and Bill fished a couple of mornings and came back with fish that they caught from the shore!! Now we won't ever be going back without Curt's poles. He is so excited for May!!

This a restaurant called the Aluz (pronounced Alush) It is located in a dried up Sonate or cave.
It was amazing. Food not so good but atmosphere and surroundings amazing!!

Curt goofing off at the entrance, we had to walk down many stairs to enter.

This is a head that is in the middle of the shopping street, Curt wanted a picture and he didn't even mean to be almost picking the statues nose :)

Our last meal at the Palapa!! The had great food at the resort and so we didn't venture out much. We both in need of a lot rest and relaxation. And that is what we did. We had a lot of fun. Played cards every night and ate alot of chips and salsa and virgin margaritas. It was so great and couldn't have come at a better time.
