A Memorable Weekend

        This past weekend my family and I traveled to Monterrey, Mexico to witness the marriage of my brother James and his fiancee Nelly. The wedding was beyond perfect. It was exactly what I was picturing it would be like. From the ceremony to the dancing. The wedding took place at an amazing venue that was surrounded by beautiful mountains. Nelly looked gorgeous, and her dress was classic beauty.
        Our amazing hotel was in San Pedro. We couldn't get over how nice everyone was that worked there. We especially loved their breakfast spread and swimming pool/hot tub.
Nelly's family was very warm and welcoming to us. It was like we had known them all for our whole lives.  Pretty cool to have family that lives in Monterrey!
       Our Saturday was spent at Los Potrero Chico, which was beautiful. All the Miners, Heims, and Venturas had a great time. It was kinda like a fancy camping ground. There was an awesome swimming pool with hammocks hanging over it. The site was completely surrounded buy mountains. People from all over the world come to this location to climb these mountains. My younger brother Ian, who is getting starting in the climbing world, was able to climb about 65 feet up on one of the sites. He said he loved it, and I am sure is gonna share his triumphs with the guys at his climbing gym.
     Overall, the trip was simply perfect. I am so glad that we could be there for James as he said his vows to his wife. We couldn't have missed it!

        On this side of the boarder, I am still waiting to hear about a job. There is one place that I have interviewed with, am an praying that I will get the position. I should be hearing from them either this week, or the beginning on next week. Remembering who is in control here!

Until then,
