Simply Jacobson: Honeymoon

Hey there! So I warned you that I was new to the blogging world, so much so that I am bad at posting. Geez, I need to be better. I promise to try! With that being said, since you got a glimpse into our wedding last go around, I thought I would share a little bit about our honeymoon.

After our wedding, we spent the next day packing up and stuffing my car to the maximum in preparation for our journey to Texas. We squeezed family a little tighter the next morning and said our ‘see ya laters’ and on the road we were. It was a long journey to Texas, but luckily we had some fun stories to reminisce over. Unfortunately, Kyle had to go back to work immediately, but this gave me some time to nestle in and make this place ‘ours’. A week later, Kyle and I were fortunate enough to be able to get away for a honeymoon, just the two of us. Let’s celebrate that small bit in itself, this never happens! We dug out our bathing suits and sunscreen and off to Mexico we went! We headed to an all-inclusive resort just south of Playa Del Carmen. For once in my life, all our flights were on time and went smoothly, so we knew this was going to be a great week. Upon our arrival in Mexico, the weather was perfect, sunny and hot (these were requests for our honeymoon destination). Fortunately, this was just a preview of the weather for the remainder of the week. Our resort was awesome, sort of like a cruise, but on land. There was always an abundance of food and drinks available, and we rarely passed on the opportunity to eat! By the end of the week we were actually sick of eating! Kyle and I spent a very relaxing weekend enjoying each other and taking in all that had just happened. We also had the opportunity to do a little snorkeling, a monkey tour, and visited the Tulum Mayan Ruins. Again, it was really cool, and the views were beautiful. What an amazing God we have to paint such an awesome picture for us! We were also reassured that the world would not be ending, simply a new calendar for the Mayans. No big deal. All in all, I would say the honeymoon was a complete success. We were sad to leave paradise and get back to the ‘real world’. However, I was excited to get back and continue to nestle in our place. The ONLY negative part about our trip was the iguanas. These things were HUGE and I was terrified. For some reason Kyle found this amusing, he is so sweet.

Here are some picture highlights from our trip:
