This is where we would have our morning coffee!
Hammocks are perfect for coffee, or heck, margaritas for that matter!!
It was an experience of a lifetime and memories that are forever in our hearts.
We gained and lost so much, but we will never lose those memories....
Stained concrete floors. My hubby did all the work!
This was the guest room/office.
The living room area before we painted the interior....
It was a long journey finishing the interior, but my husband did an amazing job!
Looking at kitchen
The equipali chairs were so comfy.
This is before painting and making it homey....
Cooking for my mom's 70th Birthday!
Bright orange interior, talavera plates on the wall and incredible friends, Lulis and Anna Rosa!
What memories......
Did you know that a Mexican tradition is to smash your face in the Birthday cake?
I did not and found out the hard way for my birthday celebration!
What a hoot!
Here is my sweet nephew, Junior!
The handmade Perota wood front doors!
I had asked for the little bandito windows...so you could open up and see who was at your door!
Adorable, but certainly not effective!
I have been thinking of our life, my husband and mine. We are coming up on our ten year anniversary, and that gets you thinking of the journey. I have decided to start writing about Mexico, and hopefully will learn how to put one of those tabs at the top of this blog to keep it separate.
While this time is about our present and hopefully prosperous future, we would never have ended up here without that time in Mexico. I still am amazed at the outcome of our choices. I guess really it is the basic action = reaction formula. We all have to live with the consequence of our choices.
The truth is sometimes you do not factor in the "true reality" of what that consequence could be.
At the time, one might not even consider the whole range of possibilities. The truth is sometimes you just go for it. You live your life with wild abandon, or with what you believe you are willing to risk.
If we over thought all of our choices, would we never experience the delight that spontaneity brings to this journey?! I honestly think that when we allow fear into the equation, we hinder the possibilities. But we need to think about outcomes, because it is hard to make up for life's mistakes. Especially when we are aging.......But to live without fear, without hesitation, to make your dreams come true....that takes great courage and certainly a little crazy!!
To every journey being amazing, to every dream being realized.....
To the hope that we never lose our wild abandon...
To everything we are and can be!
To our memories and to our future.....
