V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

I am officially out of my funk because we FINALLY booked our vacation! We are going to CANADA-Mont Tremblant actually and it looks beautiful! I have always been a beach resort loving-warm weather-lots of sunshine-type of vacationer...hence the reason we have been to Hawaii 3 times, Cancun, Las Vegas, and the Caribbean for our vacations since we have been married. We have always said we would go back to Hawaii for our 5 year anniversary but I rebelled on that idea when we started looking and decided I needed the taste of the mountains. Since we would be going in the heat of the summer, I thought the cooler temps sounded too great so I researched every lodge from Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Seattle, Vancouver, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Toronto. And I finally found just what I was looking for just north of Montreal in Mont Tremblant, Canada. It is a cute little ski village and we are staying just outside the village in a cool lodge on the lake. We got a great deal (which of course makes Brad the accountant happy) and I feel like I am already starting to count down the days. They have golf which you can see on the photo and a spa and it looks so relaxing and wonderful...I can't wait!
On another note...Brad is now a member of the old man's club. He turned 30 on Friday! He celebrated by taking a guys trip with some of his college buddies. (I celebrated with a 90 minute massage) They had a great time and he even got a new nickname, Pops. We are officially together "grandparents" - MeMe and Pops! Who would've ever thought we would both end up with those names. At least Reid puts a spanish twist on things and calls me "Tia MeMe"!
We celebrated another 30th birthday tonight with some college friends...Happy Birthday Justin. We had a great time playing WhirlyBall and eating at Campisis. I am TERRIBLE offensively but made some great collisions with my bumper car so I guess I provided some adequate defense. After Brad kept scoring on the other team I just decided to start running into him the whole time. It worked great until Master Whirlyball, Jeff showed up and just squashed us all. (He has obviously played Whirlyball a few times in his life)
I finally got a new cell phone! I decided it was time when I couldn't hear the other person talking-very annoying. I love my new phone-very cute (red) and super sleek, but unfortunately it doesn't have a flashlight-the #1 feature of my other phone. I know it sounds CrAzY but I used that flashlight every single day and it will be sorely missed! I also transitioned to a flip phone-never have been a fan but we'll see how that turns out. Everyone else in my contact list will love it b/c my purse will stop calling them!
I guess that wraps it up for now. This week will be fun and busy-Monday Spin, Tuesday babysitting some of our favorite kiddos (non-related), Wednesday-Financial Peace, Thursday & Friday are nothing YET-or that I can remember right now, and Saturday is of course 2 baby showers! Oh, and hopefully Lindsey will have her baby this week, too. Whew-it is going to be a busy week!!! Have a great one!
