Fifth Anniversary Trip to Cozumel!

Ryan and I celebrated our 5th anniversary in beautiful Cozumel

and had such a wonderful time!

The resort where we stayed wasn't very crowded as this time of year is Mexico's slow season,

so it felt very private.

Perfect!

On the way to our resort,

we saw the exact cruiseship we stayed on for our spring break

family vacation almost 2 years ago:

Ryan and I quickly settled into our room and hit the beach!

The view was beautiful,

and we had a huge jacuzzi on the balcony to take it all in at night.

Me likey, likey!

People kept asking if we were honeymooners. =)

They had a place on the beach

where you could purchase a piece of pottery to paint,

and they would fire/glaze it overnight and bring it back the next morning.

Right up my alley.

I initially chose a skull for Mexico's

Dia de los Muertos

and spent a lot of time on it:

And somehow they ruined it when trying to fire it.

I opted for a plate the second go round.

I love that we'll always have it to remember our trip.

We bought several pieces of handmade pottery,

but this one is speacial because I made it there.

They had nightly activities at a little bar on the beach,

and we took advantage of all the fun!

The sunset on the night of our actual anniversary was beautiful.

We could see it perfectly while eating dinner:

 I love this man so dearly...

The weather was perfect for our last day there:

Ryan played some water volleyball,

while I read Fifty Shades of Grey for the second time.

What?

It's a good book.

Our last night

Ryan,

Thank you for another incredibly romantic vacation together.

I love that we can have so much fun together in so many ways.

You continue to make me feel blessed, proud, and head-over-heels in love.

I am so proud to be Mrs. Soladay.

I've always heard that the first 5 years of marriage are the hardest.

If that's so, then you and I have a lifetime of bliss ahead of us.

I love you,

Your Wife
