Yucatan Getaway

Two weeks ago, Jason and I were blessed with an all-expenses-paid trip to Cancun with four of our top agents and their spouses. To say it was wonderful is an understatement. Our prior three weeks had been ridiculously stressful, so we were so ready to have time away from the kids to relax and reconnect.

Just landing in Cancun. It was 85 every single day.


We stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera . . . holy cow, this place was gorgeous. The highlights: fish tacos (I ate them every single day for lunch. They were that good.), yummy restaurants, couples massage, oceanview room. I literally didn't leave the resort.





Jack Schroeder & Associates is the company who sent us. We've so enjoyed getting to know this family-owned and operated company over the years. Such a fantastic group of people.


Pa-Pa, Jason, Russ, Shannon, and Al. Love these people. Good eggs, all of 'em.


Mini golf with the in-laws.


Pa-Pa and Grandma on their way to one of the events. Thankfully there were only a few events that were mandatory. The rest of the time was R&R on the beach & at the pool.


Alan & Gina Schroeder. Newlyweds and great friends! Some of our fave out-of-town guests ever.



Russ & Erica Scott. He runs our insurance agency, they go to church with us now, and he and Jason have literally morphed into the same human being, given the amount of time they spend together. Erica blogs HERE.




I am so proud of our agents and the success they are enjoying. Being self-employed of course has its ups and downs, but being able to get away like this is definitely one of the perks. Thank you, JSA, for treating us like royalty.

And thank you Grammy & Grandpa and Alida for watching our babies while we were gone!

Heard Around Here Lately...

All from Hayden:

"He's so funny! He makes me crank up."

I asked her if we could hold hands, and she replied, "Mommy, sorry . . . my hand is really busy right now."

Finishing her snack last week, she said she was still hungry. I asked if she wanted an apple. She said, "Yeah, Mommy, I still have an appetite." Then the wheels started turning like crazy and she said, "I have an apple-tite!" Haha! Good one, Sauce.
