Dominican, baby!

So Dave and I managed to get away for a week to the Dominican. Puerto Plata actually. Dave had never been anywhere outside of North America before and I we had never been on an all inclusive before so we were super excited. The last time I went anywhere outside NA was 10 years ago. It was definitely time. We had a friend from Kamloops who came to watch our kids for us so we could go by ourselves. That was so awesome! The resort itself was kid friendly, but the plane ride was not and if we would have brought the kids, we wouldnt have been able to do as many things. Safety there isnt much of a concern and it was nice to be alone just the two of us.

Introduction

So this is my cute family. It's crazy to believe that this is my life now! It doesn't seem very long ago that I was single and living la vida loca.

Dave and I have been married for going on six years. For someone who used to be a commitment phobe, that seems like an eternity already but actually it has gone by pretty fast. We have two beautiful little girls named Karen (3) and Kenzie (almost 18 mos). I never realized how much I would enjoy being a mom and how much I would love them. I can't even say I love them. I ADORE them. They are so funny, sweet, loving and the greatest thing in my life. We also have a Basset Hound named Buddy who is about six years old too. I'll talk more about them in my subsequent blogs. Life is certainly an adventure!
I really like the quote by Gordon B. Hinkley:

"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
