Wait, that's a lie.
Packing. I hate packing.
I hate unpacking.
I hate folding.
And please don't tell my soon to be husband, but laundry really isn't my favorite either.
But, once I'm packed, it's all happiness.
I love checking in online early and picking my seats (for some reason I think picking my seat keeps me safe... I'm strange).
I love smiling extra big and being super nice to the people at the security gate. Especially given recent changes. Especially this time of year. (Don't get me started about this. People try and crash our airplanes. TSA stops it from happening. We should be much kinder to them. Or they will get bitter. Go on strike. Or worse get lazy and miss something. Then where will we be!)
I love love love hotels. Here is the thing with hotels. If you walk in like you own the place, but are really nice about it... they love you. Works for me, every time.
I love the beach, the ocean and pools. I've never been to Mexico, or a resort like this so this will be a whole new kind of discovery for us!
Most of all... I just like seeing new and different places. I like meeting new people, and pretending to speak five words of their language.
My grandparents, (dad's parents) are taking my family (fiancé included) and my dad's entire side of the family to Mexico. 17 people total! So amazing. We are all so giddy we can barely control ourselves. Anyone who knows us, knows that Oregon is our sanctuary. We all crave it and miss it when we aren't there. Sure, Oregon is a part of that. The fresh air, the scenery, the camping, etc. Truth is, the thing we crave is the family. The aunts, uncles, cousins and really, most of all... the grandparents. I have been blessed with the most caring, generous, loving, encouraging, fun, and just amazing grandparents ever. Trips to Mexico aside, they have always been supportive and present. I hope they know how appreciative we are and how aware we are that they have done so much for us, for our family... more then we will ever know!
I still haven't decided what books to bring. I've got a two Self Magazines and one bridal magazine (might have to look for another one of those). I still have to read book 4 in Nora Roberts Bridal Quartet series, which I am super excited about. I want to bring a classic. Thinking about re-reading The Great Gatbsy. I've also thought about bringing my Narnia Chronicles to prepare for the movie. Either way... I got to get on that!
I wan't going to bring my laptop with me, but now I feel like I'll be sad I can't blog from my Mexican resort porch as I watch the sun rise over the ocean... or something as wonderful sounding as that!
