Whoopsies, I ended my last post with "be back tomorrow to recap the wedding!", and that was.... 8 days ago. 😆 The short version of our Mexico trip is that it was essentially a 4 day long PARTY. Haha. It was a bit intense!! And also very fun. But I didn't have too much alone… Continue reading Oops, a very delayed wedding recap
As I said last night, today (Friday November 14) is the wedding day! The mothers of the bride and groom and the bridesmaids and finally the bride were all going to be having their hair and makeup done at the house we’re staying at. The moms had the first appts- 8 am!! The mother of… Continue reading Mexico- wedding day prep!
Well I have officially blown my NaBloPoMo streak to heck over here, haven’t I! Yesterday (Wednesday) we had an early 6:30 am flight out of Madison. On a side note, I swear that for someone who travels quite regularly I am literally the worst packer in the world and no matter WHAT I do or… Continue reading Hola desde México
Nothing too thrilling to post here today, but just popping in to say hello and ramble about some randomness. 🙂 Snow/Cold: After a pretty non-snowy winter so far, we got a bigger snowfall on Wednesday. This caused Ethan's school to start earlier and end earlier (they normally have a late start on Wednesdays) and Asher's… Continue reading This and that
Day 4: Wednesday, October 16th Picking back up... Wednesday morning I'm not really sure what we did. I think we were just mostly around the house- maybe Ivan and his brother ran a couple errands? Anyway, nothing too exciting happened in the a.m. In the afternoon, we (just me, Ivan, Ethan, Asher, Kaly and Ivan's… Continue reading Wednesday-Thursday: Metepec, and my birthday in Mexico!!
Sorry guys! Totally fell off the blogging wagon this trip! But that's okay. I ended up sort of not really having time, but mostly I sort of just wasn't feeling it (blogging, not the trip!). So I didn't. We got home yesterday afternoon. (All smooth except one of the LONGEST lines for immigration at O'Hare… Continue reading We’re home! Mexico trip brain dump
Tuesday, October 15- Day 3 This was a pretty relaxing day!! Which was fine by me. My father-in-law had to work, and others had a variety of little errands etc to do. Ivan was in and out with his mom/brother for part of the day and then he, his brother, Asher and Kalej all went… Continue reading A pretty chill day in Toluca
Oh man, this last week felt like a total blur!! I think I touched on this already, but I felt like I crammed about 3 weeks’ worth of stuff into this single week between Nashville and Mexico. Work was also insane. Ivan left for Mexico Thursday at 4 pm, so I was also on my… Continue reading Last few days/ arrival to Mexico!
Wednesday, January 3rd Two days left on our trip! Wednesday was another pretty chill day, which worked out well since on Tuesday we did the volcano hike + spent the whole evening out at Ivan’s sister’s house. Ironically, not even 12 hours after we left her house, she went into labor! So by 8 a.m.… Continue reading Final days and homeward bound!
Aka: el Nevado de Toluca… On Tuesday January 2nd we finally hiked the local volcano! I’ve been to Toluca a million times now and yet we had never done this. The weather looked great and we had the time, so we did it! Just Ivan, the boys and I went; his parents stayed home. You… Continue reading Hike to the Volcano of Toluca
GRATEFUL KAE
