Four Years Ago Today....

it was a  Match Made in Mexico...

Our First Picture Together 2006

It was August 2006 and at the urging of some of my friends a four day vacation was in store and the destination was CANCUN! I was hesistant at first because I had already been to Cancun once and there a million places to go so why go somewhere twice? But then again it was spending time with my friends and the destination really didn't matter because we can have fun anywhere. We land in Cancun and there weren't many people on vacation so we pretty much had the entire island to ourselves!!! So we check into the hotel and head to the pool...

Enter day 2 (Augsust 25th) when Alex enters the picture. Mind you we are at a huge resort that had three pools and Alex and his friends were staying on one end of the resort and we were on the other. For some reason the boys aka "Gotti Boys" were on our end of the resort in our pool. So this is how our paths crossed when we were at the bar I asked in my sweet Texas accent "Where are y'all from?" He replied "Jersey!" I was thinking what are they doing in Cancun of all places?
Low and behold all of the clubs we went to the Gotti Boys were sure to follow. (Alex tells a different story that they didn't know where we were and what we were doing.) The remainder of our vacation was spent together at the pool with our friends. I remember my friend Lidia asking "Do you like him?" and my reply was "It's Cancun!". The last day I gave him my phone number and was on the plane back to Texas.

Four years later we are married---who have thought! You hear about these stories happening but you never think it will ever happen to you.  I am very thankful fate intervened and we met that day in Cancun and thankfully I wasn't able to change my friends minds about a different destination. I cannot wait and see what else life has in store for us...
