\"Ethan<\/a>

Ethan and I about to enjoy sunset dinner at the resort<\/p><\/div>Last weekend, my sweetheart and I took a 4-night getaway to Mexico. When we first started dating over 4 years ago, we set an intention<\/strong><\/span> to do monthly getaways, even if only for a night. We realized the importance of having our alone time to connect, in light of the fact that we have a combined number of 4 children. <\/p>\n

At first, we were great about staying true to our intention. We loved our getaways and felt they kept our relationship light and fun. Then life got real.<\/strong><\/span> We moved in together, took on more responsibilities with work and home, and generally got busier. We began to see ourselves getting caught in the daily rut of life. We felt more disconnected from each other<\/strong><\/span> and we felt more run down. We knew that we needed to re-prioritize our away time together. It was the solution to our burn out and road to break down. <\/p>\n

What I love about Ethan is that he\u2019s a man of action. Once we decide something, he makes it happen. I am such a thinker, dreamer and analyzer. Truth be told, probably half of our getaways wouldn\u2019t happen if it weren’t for him taking charge. I am fortunate to have found someone like Ethan. It truly helps to have that kind of partnership, where each person plays a vital role in allowing the vision to occur. <\/p>\n

\"View<\/a>

View of the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean<\/p><\/div>So, back to Mexico.<\/strong><\/span> We stayed at the most gorgeous resort on a private beach about an hour outside of Puerto Vallarta. Everything was perfect. The food was amazing, drinks were to die for, the lush jungle, garden feel to the resort and the amazing panoramic oceanfront views were over the top perfect. Time stood still for 4 days. We relaxed completely, had zero agenda and just really connected and played for 4 days. It was exactly what we needed to come back to the realities of life and face everything with optimism and vitality. <\/p>\n

I made a short video (6 mins) from the balcony of our room in Mexico, talking about this very topic. Check it out below.<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n
