Beach on a Saturday morning? It sounded like the perfect plan when Cherrie and I came up with it—completely forgetting she was out with Gregory and Aimee until around 3 a.m. Honestly, only God knows when those three finally gave in and slept. Meanwhile, I wasn’t much better. I had a super late dinner at the Velencoso’s that turned into a long chat with the hosts. By the time it was over, my husband had to carry me back to the hotel because I was too far gone to even walk straight.

So here we are, trying to convince ourselves this idea wasn’t completely insane. But you know what? It turned out to be absolutely worth it. The ocean breeze hit us like a gentle wake-up call. Cherrie was hilarious company. We walked and laughing at each other’s questionable life choices, and decided to test the water. And that’s when I realized I forgot to bring a change of clothes. Thankfully, husband came to the rescue, showing up with fresh clothes. He’s my lifesaver, literally and figuratively.

These two old men, my brothers Rudolph and Elias, clearly needed a vacation, so I dragged them out of their room instead of letting them waste the day. Of course, I made a scene, banging on their door and greeting the ever-charming Marybeth and Maybelle. Today’s been a mix of chaos and catching up—we finally talked after barely speaking since we got here, just glancing.

Over snacks, I secretly planned to guilt them into buying me ice cream, but Rudolph beat me to it, showing up with double scoops for everyone because of the heat. Elias, as usual, joined in with his quiet charm, making it all the more fun. Honestly, I loved every moment with them, especially being spoiled. Let’s just say I didn’t pay a thing, which made it even sweeter HAHA.

Velencoso’s baby shower wasn’t just a celebration; it was a heartfelt tribute to my parents, marking a beautiful new chapter in their lives. The day was filled with love and laughter, as if every corner of the room echoed the joy we all felt. Seeing my mom and dad, glowing with happiness and surrounded by family and friends, was a reminder of the strength of their love and the family they’ve built together.

This wasn’t just about welcoming a new baby—it was about celebrating their journey, their resilience, and the incredible warmth they bring into our lives. As we showered them with support and affection, it became clear that this wasn’t just their moment; it was ours too—a celebration of family, of togetherness, and of the new life we’re all so excited to meet.
