Music Monday – “Remember me/Don’t let it make you cry/For even if I’m far away/I hold you in my heart/I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart” #ThePalaceLife

One week until we go to Mexico and the preparations are heating up (you’d think staying for two weeks instead of one simply means you pack twice as many bathing suits but unfortunately, that’s not the case!) Plus we’ve got a busy week ahead of us with a variety of appointments, meetings (though I found […]

Happy Anniversary Shea!

Technically, a better husband would do a better blog post for his wife on their 15th wedding anniversary. But since this is the anniversary of us doing the legal paperwork in jeans in our living room in Calgary while the anniversary of the day we had our wedding ceremony on the beach in Mexico fifteen […]

Music Monday – “Border guards they waved us through/’Andele ninos’ they cried/Love was a Mexican pony/You and I would ride”

Happy (legal) wedding anniversary one day early, Shea! I look forward to celebrating our (ceremonial) wedding anniversary with you in a month in Mexico and then our reception/party wedding anniversary later this summer! This song has a lot of religious imagery and considering we specifically requested a non-religious officiate who only slipped up once at […]

Friday Fun Link – 10 Things I’m Looking Forward To On Our #MoonPalace #Cancun Vacation @palaceresorts #ThePalaceLife

This will be the first time we’ve done a two-week all-inclusive and I think it’ll be very luxurious considering a typical one-week vacation often only feels like much less than that since the first day is a travel day, the second day is a decompress/orientation day and then the second last day (for me anyhow) […]

Music Monday – “Down through Durango, Colima, Almiera/Then in the Manzanillo/Where I slept in the sunshine on the seashores of old Mexico” #ThePalaceLife

Less than a month to Mexico… (And it’s like a time machine working through the versions of this song – from the original Hank Snow to the 80’s era Haggard-Willie duet to the more modern George Straight version with a video shot in Tulum – aka the only place that I have ever got really […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Google’s “2017 Year in Search”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…for all the many “best of” retrospective lists and articles and posts that come out. The Google Search compilation is usually one of the best (the YouTube Rewind one, not so much!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mexican Beach Wedding (February 2003) #ThePalaceLife

So, for “family movie night” last weekend, Shea and I decided to hook up the video camera we bought back ~2002 but have rarely used lately (“Hey kids, that big boxy thing is what an iPhone used to look like!”) to show the kids our wedding video from Mexico in 2003. Pace watched about five […]
