Where have I been?

I have been absent on my blog, whoa, big surprise. Let's just say I haven't been home much and when I have been it has been playing catch up.

It started with a trip back to Playa del Carmen, Mexico. Ah, a heavenly getaway in January! It was brutally cold in Kansas this January. To lay on the beach in the warm sun was so incredibly refreshing. I am pretty sure I suffer from season affective disorder (SAD). I always have. Maybe someday we will retire somewhere warm. Unfortunately, the vacation "high" didn't last long. Upon our return back home we were welcomed with a snow storm and the kids out of school for 3 days. Ahh, reality.

This is the view from poolside at Casa Jose.

Just a short walk to the beach. That is Cozumel in the distance.

We would walk to 5th Avenue multiple times a day.

It is lined with shops, restaurants and fun locals!

Five days later this was my view in Denver.

My friend Tahl asked if I could come back out to get more photos of her Medical Spa.

I had been there in May but they had made some changes and needed me again, darn.

Vitahl is a wonderful, wonderful Medical Spa with a great professional staff. "Medical spa's " have become more common, so do your homework before booking an appointment with anyone. Vitahl is over 5 years old and is Doctor owned. They also have a plastic surgeon on staff three days a week. Botox injections are only done by a Doctor or a nurse practitioner, facial treatments are done by wonderful estheticians and the lasers are done by estheticians who have been trained by the laser companies. Not sure why I felt the need to throw all that information out at you besides the fact to brag at what a great place it is! I also enjoy getting a little pampered while there, something I probably wouldn't do at home.

This is Tahl aka Dr. Humes and her dog Botox.

Sometimes it is strange that I am grown up enough to have successful friends!

Four days from after returning from Denver we headed to Oklahoma City for the Nadia Comaneci Invitational. Nadia is actually there and presents the awards to the girls after each session. Yep, pretty cool. Josie went to camp this past summer in Norman, OK at Bart Connor's gym (her husband), she had the opportunity to meet both of them at that time. They are two of the nicest people! Gymnasts train year round so it is fun when meet season is upon us.

It is fun to watch her as she truly looks like a graceful gymnast these days!

Before we headed out of town we went to the Oklahoma City bombing memorial.

I may sound old when I say this but I remember exactly where I was when news of the bombing broke.

The girls were full of questions and very respectful, I am glad we went.

Over the next month we have three more gymnastics meets, St. Louis, Kansas City and Wichita. Then right into spring break!

I have lots of sessions booked for March and April and am excited to get out and embrace spring! I am going to be doing give away on my facebook page so if you aren't already a fan head over there and become one!

Have a great weekend! Our 65 degree weather turned to ice and snow today. Grrrr!
