Mexico Lindo

As part of my sister Moni's job, she is sent to lush hotels to do site inspections and scope out possible places to hold sales events and incentive trips. Since her husband Jody had spent his allotted vacation time on a recent cruise, she asked me to accompany her. Leaving 6 children and a husband behind for 5 days was not an easy thing to pull off, but they survived and we are all the better for it.

Moni worked most of the time which gave me a chance to catch up on some much needed sleep and visit faraway places through the pages of books. I visited the big, hot pink house in South Carolina home to a bee-keeper named Lily and the enchanted lands of Kildenree where a goose girl named Ani talked to the wind. It was heavenly.

When we weren't with the other V.I.P's at fancy dinners we relaxed and talked about the funny things our husbands do, the joys of raising large families and how fun it will be when we can bring all of our family back with us someday. Mainly we just goofed off and had fun being together.

Here's a sample of how some our conversations went:

Moni (in a whispered tone): "Check out the girl in the two piece on your left."

Me (sun glasses pushed down to the tip of my nose): " WOWZA!"

Moni: "If you ever see me looking like that, SHOOT ME!"

While sipping limonadas catching a few rays by the pool before our check out time on Sunday, you might have heard this.

Moni (viewing conference on her video I-Pod) : "Do you think it's sac-religious to be laying out by a pool on Sunday while listening to conference?"

Me (engrossed in a book): "Well, I guess if you were sipping a Bud-Light in your bikini, maybe."

We just laughed.

This is the view from the balcony of our room. So beautiful!


Love you sis!
