I am getting increasingly more anxious for Mexico and it's not even booked yet. I had a moment of vivid memories while I was in the shower. I remembered everything like the smell, sounds, and feeling of my surrounding environment. When I'm there, Mexico has a vibe all its own and it's a happy, relaxed one. I CANNOT wait to go back. I think evening is my favorite time of the day there. The heat starts easing off, the crickets start, the sky gets that twilight appearance, you can see clouds of swallows fly overhead as they head back to their cave, and it's just so damn relaxing. I like going into town and watching the sunset from a bar or restaurant somewhere, but even just staying at the house is great too. I like the feeling of taking a shower to wash away a days worth of sweat and then moisturizing my sun kissed skin and putting on some actual clothing (since if I spend all day at the house I'm in my bathing suit). It's even better when there's something planned like a delicious dinner or people coming over, which is usually the reason we end up staying at the house, otherwise I go out for dinner. If that house ever sells I'm going to miss it...but then again the plan is to build our own right next door.
Nate's mum just got back from there, which is why I'm feeling so reminiscent. She said everyone's excited to see me and my belly, which makes me want to hold off until March when I'll be more than half way and my belly will be getting big. I'll be 21-25 weeks in March, which seems perfect to me.
