Catchin up...

We had a great weekend in the Cook house!

Friday night was like a big Hollywood reunion for us. Our friends the Byrds hosted a BBQ for my old pastor and his wife who are in town to celebrate the birth of their 8th grandchild (born on 8/8/08..mmm?) along with the San Francisco McCords, great times! A couple other familiar faces from FBC stopped by throughout the night and before we knew it it was a full out party. There is truly no substitute for old friends, like my husband so wisely says: "proximity and time". No substitute.

Saturday I spent the entire day with my sister doing some serious maternity clothes shopping. Yep, my very first pair of maternity jeans, ouch. Im almost 20 weeks and it was definitely time. I held out as long as I could...


Sunday was the first day of the fall semester for our Home Fellowships at church! I love this Sunday, its like the first day of school! Since we attend a home church this is truly the DNA of our body. So exciting!


Finally, I got around to picking up my pictures from the 3rd annual girls trip to Mexico! Picking up...? I know what youre thinking. One of our 6 glorious days was spent at a protected water park in Mexico, Xel-ha (pronounced shell-ha). This is a natural lagoon off of the Riviera Maya. Amazing is an understatement. So since we spent the day going from one water activity to the next, you had to purchase an old-school underwater camera! yah! I finally picked up my prints! The last few pictures of the set are the Xel-ha pictures, the rest are the other 5 amazing days in the Caribbean. Its good be home. Its even better to be home and tan! :) Heres a few pictures to get you started:

Layin by the pool - Secrets Capri, Mexico

Have a great week everyone!

Those are some funny pictures... what a trip! I will have to post the one of me in the wheelchair. My favorite is the one of you under the mangrove trees. Not bad for a waterproof disposable camera!
LOVE YA!
