Expectations

To say that Cabo was good would be lying.  Cabo exceeded all expectations and was absolutely perfect.  Just what we needed for a week :-)  Since we were all there to celebrate Mr. and Mrs. Slates, we were never short on laughs, smiles and great memories.  On Tuesday we arrived in the middle of the day and met Kara, Frank, Em and Mike in the Cabo airport.  The party began immediately following a few big hugs (and it never stopped).  The first few days began with breakfast on the beach, a nap, laying/drinking in the sun, and dinner with 30 of your closest friends.  Everyday we would start with our roommates and life long friend Jessie and her boyfriend and every night we would end dancing and having dinner with whoever had arrived for the wedding.

 It was great to see all the people there to celebrate Em and Mike's love.  It was also nice to get to know Em and Mike's families and friends even better.  More importantly we got to know Em's new family pretty well and they couldn't be more adorable and sweet.

 One of our favorite spots was the brewery.  We discovered this place early Wednesday and enjoyed a beer on the rooftop with everyone.  Later in the week we would watch an ASU basketball victory there  as well (for a romantic Valentines day).

 There were plenty of beers consumed on the beach and even some intriguing purchases made for friends back home (or at least that was some people were saying).  Emily proudly said that she would be wearing the Vikings mask for the first Vikings home game in the new stadium.  I know I can't be in Mike's brain but in that moment I am sure the wedding was confirmed, hahaha!  Love ya Em!

 Spending time with Jess and Mitch led to aching stomach and face muscles, due to all the laughing.  It is so fun to see one of your oldest friends be so happy.  Glad we were able to give Tommy and Mitch some time to themselves and we were able to make some new memories together as well.  Jess and Mitchy, come visit soon.
