Atlantis

Thanks to David's company, we recently spent five nights and five days at the Atlantis resort in Nassau, Bahamas. David was one of six individuals that won the Circle of Excellence Award for 2009. He won in 2006 as a rep, after his first full year in the field, and this time as a manager, after his first full year heading the Dallas/Ft. Worth district. If you can't tell, I'm incredibly proud of my husband and endlessly thankful for his hard work, which allows me to stay home with our daughter.

Speaking of Grace, it was pretty tough leaving. I cried! I knew she was in very capable hands, though, and that I'd surely miss her more than she missed me. My mom had come to stay with her and I could just imagine them reading, singing, and playing nonstop. She also had her DeeDee (David's mom) come play with her one afternoon and her Aunt Kimmie come stay overnight (she even took a day off work). David and I checked in a couple times each day, but really just tried to enjoy our time together...and we did.

The resort was amazing. Huge! And the other winners (and their spouses/friends) were so much fun, as is the VP of Sales who "hosted" the trip. We ended up spending most of the week together as a group...by the pool, at the beach, in town, on a private catamaran charter, etc. While it didn't end up being the most relaxing vacation, it was definitely a good time! Did I mention it happened to be Spring Break? Pretty crazy. Oh, and we saw Taylor Swift. We'd heard she was there with her family, but then she walked by our beach chairs with her entourage. Kind-of exciting...even if you weren't her biggest fan before! I think I like her now, though. :)


























Best part of all...coming home to this:
