Yes we are alive...barely!

I guess I should say I'm barely alive. Rick is like the energizer bunny. He keeps going and going... Valentine's day wasn't anything to write home about, but we did celebrate early. We spent the day shopping for some much needed things and had a lunch/movie date. Rick went to Connecticut over Valentine's Day so I only forgive him for that because he did check out the Yale hospital while he was there. This is the first year Apx is in Connecticut so they flew him out there per request so he could scope area and apartments. Lucky for me, the hospital as well. He came home late Saturday night (the 16th) and got up less than 5 hours later for an early flight -with me, of course - to LongBeach, Cali. Apx sent us on a cruise to Mexico! Our ports included Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. It was so awesome and being pregnant was no hindrance at all (except for not being able to scuba dive - Rick didn't have anyone to go with). There were tons of people who earned it so we had about 60 people representing Apx altogether. I think Rick would say his favorite part was zip-lining in Puerto Vallarta through the canopy where "Predator" was filmed starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. I mostly stood on the sidelines as the designated photographer. It was super fun. Since we've been home, work has definitely taken over. I've been substituting almost full-time and having 1-2 home interior parties a week. And on top of all of that, I came down with a cold that has restricted my speaking ability. How do I control a class of 3 or 4 year olds? It is very difficult. Trust me! Rick is still having tons of success with recruiting so he's busy, busy. It looks like he's going to have an awesome office, not to mention, HUGE! He has signed up so many recruits that I don't even know how many he has currently. This has been a great recruiting season for him. That's about it for now. Tons more coming up!

Climbing wall on cruise ship - one of the company owner's came on our trip and put up $50 for anyone who could do the hardest course. Rick did it!!!

Cabo San Lucas - it's hard to tell, but this is a picture of an arch in the rock formation. It's really beautiful.

Mazatlan - Stone Island


Puerto Vallarta - Da Boyz! Almost all of these guys are managers. We've made some of great friends through Apx. Can you see Predator in the background?


This is a picture of Rick zip-lining in Puerto Vallarta. It's hard to see...sorry!


I thought this was a great shot! He's jumping off from a rope swing. Isn't he silly?
