Cancun Anniversary Trip

Travel

2 Jun

cancun

We decided to take off for Cancun this year as we celebrated 14 years of marriage! 14 years of wedded bliss and some ups and downs with my man. I sure love him and love that we were able to sneak away! I also missed our kids. It’s hard to leave them but I think so healthy for a marriage! I was starting to get stressed as the time to our trip came closer because I wasn’t able to find a babysitter. My mother-in-law said that she would take the kids and I was so grateful! Luckily they were in school so it made it a little easier.

We have never taken an anniversary trip before! I was so glad that I was able to spend time with Tyler. I wanted to share our trip, what we did, where we ate, what I wore and where we stayed so you can get some ideas for an upcoming Cancun trip if you have one!

what i wore in cancun

I was really excited about the fun dresses that I wore in Cancun! So many fun colors and great summer prints and silouettes. Also very affordable, as always! I always update my LTK page here, so if you want to see what affordable finds I have, that is a great place to go. I also update my Amazon favs page weekly, so this is a great place to look when you’re shopping for affordable finds as well! I’ll list off what I wore below:

Lavender sandals HERE

Color block dress HERE

Blue Amazon dress HERE (this was a best seller when I posted about it! It’s super high quality!)

Initial necklaces HERE (I bought two – one for each of my kids!)

Gold slides HERE (I have these in multiple colors!)

Hoop earrings that I wear almost every day HERE

Beach Please bag HERE (and on sale! I LOVE this bag!)

All nighter setting spray that I use over my makeup every day and I love it HERE

Off the shoulder colorful dress HERE

Cotton dress that’s under $15 and comes in lots of colors HERE

Sun visor HERE (I’ve had this for a few years in two colors and LOVE them! The perfect hat because you can lean back in a chair and rest your head and it also rolls up really well to travel with!)

Floral dress HERE

Sunglasses HERE (my sister and I both have them and love them!

Sun hat HERE

Beige and white striped dress HERE

Best sunless tanning lotion EVER HERE!

 

what we did in cancun

We literally sat on the beach almost the entire time while we were in Cancun! We flew in on a Monday and flew out on a Thursday so we really only had two full days. Normally when I’m not pregnant, I like to do more adventurous things but since I’m pregnant and don’t have my normal energy, and we weren’t there for very long, we sat on the beach and relaxed! Tyler actually ended up working quite a bit as he took client calls on the beach to help them with their insurance! He loves his job and loves helping people so it was totally fine. He’s the best insurance agent in Utah! 🙂 But really, though. He is actually amazing so if you happen to live in Utah, my man will take care of you. You can see our last trip to Cancun HERE when we took our babies when they were a year old!

Anyway, back to Cancun! We took a walk one night on the beach over to the mall to grab some ice cream. It was actually a little eerie because most of the stores were closed down. We went to Haagen Dazs in the middle of the mall, but most of the stores were permanently closed. It made me so sad! Covid has hit tourist towns really hard. Other than that, we stayed at the resort until we went to dinner at night! More on that below.

where we stayed in cancun

We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Cancun! It was absolutely beautiful and we loved the property. I have to tell you that we have a family member who has invested in some of the Marriott hotels, and because of that, we were able to get a really great discount! It’s expensive but it was amazing. The pools were great, the service was great, and the food was great! We had chicken nachos and virgin pina coladas on the beach and it was incredible. I would recommend it!

what we ate in cancun

Since we were there all day relaxing on the beach on the Marriott’s property, we wanted to head off property for the two nights we were there! Well, the first night we ate at the Ritz-Carlton’s restaurant on the patio and it was great. I got the shrimp tacos and Tyler got the quesadillas and we loved it! The second night we went to the Funky Geisha and it was CRAZY and SO GOOD! We did not know what to expect! It was an Asian Fusion restaurant with really cool (and loud lol!) entertainment!! We were blown away. They are drummers come out and dancers, and lots of loud music. They have cool drinks with all sorts of lights and fire and we were amazed! It would definitely recommend it. The decor and the atmosphere was really, really cool. It’s a bit out of the water past and through some swamps it looked like. They have done a great job! The next night we went to Rosa Negra! It’s a family of restaurants close to each other. This was the same idea with big entertainment (as you can see below!) but not quite as loud. I loved them both!

I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I was deciding if I could handle doing another frozen embryo transfer
and now LOOK at him đŸ„č It was one of the hardest years of my entire life. Going through things I don’t wish on anyone. But look at us now 😭 And looking internally
the things I’ve learned.

Tell me about something a year ago for you that you didn’t know you’d get through and can’t believe you are where you’re at đŸ€đŸ‘‡đŸ» #infertilityjourney #ivfsuccess #frozenembryotransfer
This is it. Not just in motherhood, although moth This is it.

Not just in motherhood, although motherhood really amplifies it, but in life.

It’s the fast days that are loud and sunny.

It’s the slow days that are quiet and snowy.

The mismatched pajamas and the dressed to the nines.

It’s the mess.

It’s the organization and order.

It’s the to-do list that gets crossed off and the to-do list that doesn’t.

It’s in the allowing of both.

It’s in perhaps preferring one over the other, but not judging either.

It’s in the wisdom that both will pass and each have lessons to teach.

Neither is wrong.

Both are allowed.

This is it.

It might feel impossible in the middle of it and y It might feel impossible in the middle of it and you might question everything.

“I have no idea what the future will bring.”

“Will everything I’m putting myself through be worth it?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I making the right choice?”

But your moments will come. Trust that and let it bring you peace.

The alternative is feeling anxious, which is also completely acceptable and normal, but remember that you also have the option of trusting and feeling peace, too. There is room for both.

You’re not alone in this đŸ€

It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the deep, black ocean of IVF again. I knew what I was doing this time and I was filled with fear because
I knew.

When I found out I was pregnant, the fear was my secret. Only a close few knew.

And this space was filled with tears, uncertainty
soul reaching prayers.

Sleepless nights, gut wrenching heartache.

Secrets that I hold close to my heart.

And then he came.

And the healing began.

And the mama, this mama, knew she did it.

That black ocean had swallowed her whole and she’d do it again for the light that is him.

Once she swam to the surface, and jaggedly gasped in the fresh air and felt the sunshine on her face, she knew she would do it all over again.

For this sacred chaos.

Tonight as I was moving the bassinet out of my room, I stopped. The room will soon be cleared. The shelves emptied and the order restored. And I can’t believe that the ocean was conquered. The chaos was where I found the strength and the beauty.

The sacred, precious chaos.
