Excellente!

Johnny and I just got back from our fifth wedding this year (all of which united couples who are Living Black Love, by the way). Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Thomas!

The wedding was beautiful, as all weddings are, but this one was extra-beautiful because it took place in beautiful Cancun, Mexico. (And yes, the trip was well-worth three "beautifuls".) Just as beautiful as the wedding was the resort where we stayed. It was the Excellence Playa Mujeres. Johnny and I have been to a few resorts (in Jamaica, Aruba, and Puerto Rico) in our years together. In comparison, those places were like LeBron vs. me (I'm 5'1") on the basketball court - no contest.

The Excellence was truly the nicest place we've ever been. Although we've only been to a handful of international destinations, this was probably the nicest place you've been, too. I can't wait to go to another Excellence Resort! Couples retreat, anyone???

And another. And our room was one of the least expensive the
resort offers.

Shouting Out My Black Love

I just have to give a shout out to my hubby. I am in the middle of a long, somewhat stressful week and he (as always) has just been so loving and supportive that I had to take a minute to acknowledge him.

I am in the process of doing what I need to do to become a teacher - taking a class so that I have enough credits to teach elementary school, taking another class so I can pass the exams that are part of the certification process, and trying to be a good "housewife" in the midst of it all (my temp job recently ended and I've been at home ever since).

I walked in last night from one of my classes, apparently looking overwhelmed, and one of the first things he said to me was "I will help you study for both tests, and you will pass". Even though I was a little stand-offish towards him last night, he cracked jokes, left me a silly voicemail message, and danced and sang - all to make me feel better. I am truly Living Black Love, and as he would say, "luuuvin' it!".
