The last week in April we got to spend a week at Secrets Maroma Beach in Mexico as an incentive trip for Ev's work. It. Was. Awesome. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone. SO nice, great service, all-inclusive, beautiful beach, etc. One of the best parts was being there with all the work peeps. We really do enjoy hanging out with everyone, and hopefully we will be able to attend these trips every year, so that makes it even better! Here is a lil recap:
*This was the longest we had been away from Jaycee, so that was a little difficult, but I handled it pretty well. We actually only skyped two or three times and called/text very few times. I knew she was in good hands so that made it easier to have a relaxing week. Thanks fam! (I did attempt to Skype more, but apparently grandma and papa were having too much fun playing to answer some of my calls! Photo showing my anxiety about this...)
"The guys". Ev will be wearing linen pants to better fit in next trip :)
"The Wives". Ya know, just doing our wifey thing...
We went to the 'club' at the resort called Desires. Parttyyy time!
On top of chillin' by the pool/beach, eating massive amounts of food, going to the nicest spa I will probably ever go to, and the boys golf trip, we visited Tulum. It was neat to see in person some ancient history within our religious beliefs. We commented on how everything they did was so symbolic... made us feel completely lazy with how we do things!
So... on our 5 year anniversary (which very nicely seems to be right along the dates of these trips), Ev competed in the Secrets Idol. I talked him into doing this because the winner received 4 days to Secrets (they wait and tell you after the competition that you have to purchase 7 days first). Anyway, it was so funny. Ev sang his heart out, and somehow even with the whole company there, still has a job. He will probably never live this down. He ended up getting second place (which turned out to be a better prize than first place, massage to the spa). He even beat a Mormon Tabernacle Choir singer!
His chest said, "Happy 5 years", then on the back "Let's Pre-plan".
Ordering enough room service to feed the whole resort.
Fun in the sun. Loved it!
Kelsey and I even got to be guests at a beach wedding. Ok, actually we were totally creepy and just watched the whole thing from our chairs on the beach.
Boys will be boys...
Had so much fun with these peeps:
At the Awards night. Ev with his boss, Terry.
Photo shoot.
The fun didn't stop there in Mexico. On the way home we got upgraded to first class. Score! Ev just enjoying his steak on the plane.
This trip really set the bar high for our future vacations! I joked that after this trip I would be encouraging Ev to work longer in order to qualify for them each year. Hawaii 2012! Thanks, dear!
