Happy Easter and Fat Cat prepares for an adventure!

We hope everyone was able to enjoy the Easter Holiday with their families today and remember the reason for the day. Nope, sorry not chocolate, although it comes as a nice fringe benefit! We had a great time hanging with the Shay clan this afternoon and enjoying a great turkey dinner prepared by my brother and his wife. We totally blew our diets with my homemade ice cream cake dessert and pre-made Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory! (YUM!) But we'll make up for it tomorrow on the treadmill and with additional crunches. Speaking of the treadmill, we are not only trying to keep ourselves healthier, but build some stamina as well the last month or so as we prepare for the start of the traditional wedding season and our big adventure in Puerto Morales, Mexico in just a few short weeks! We finally thawed out from Colorado in January and barely snuck in some time to fake bake recently to get that pasty white skin tan so we don't burn like lobsters while we work our way a bit closer to the equator!

Here at FCP it is totally a myth that cats hate water...this week we embark on our first underwater adventures! We learned to snorkel on our honeymoon many years ago in the Carribean and this last year enjoyed it even more on our anniversary cruise in the Pacific along the Mexican coast! But at that time I desperately wanted to follow some of the fish so badly that instead of swimming straight ahead I followed them DOWN below the surface and sucked in seawater down the snorkel! It was time to learn to SCUBA DIVE! After that trip, life, work and editing happened so the class never materialized for us. Well now that we have a chance to use the skill again, we decided to go for it and finally learn scuba!

So the weeks schedule has been jam packed with appointments, deliveries, editing and other personal stuff, now we get to make time to read the home study portion of the scuba class and watch the training DVD before Thursday's instruction and then pool time at the beginning of next week! It will be a nice break from the hustle and bustle we've been dealing with and we think we are going to have a great time to boot- we'll be taking class with the bride who will be married in Mexico and her friends! Too fun! Maybe I'll even get some underwater video on my trip! Can't wait to put THAT in her wedding video! That is the plan anyway, watch for it in the coming weeks! We'll keep you posted! And we'll get some pics back up on this blog eventually, I know how reading books without pictures is- boring! :)

Until next time blog stalkers.......
