Missing Jamaica

June 16, 09  |  0 Comments

So Mark & I are in serious need of a vacation. We were just reminiscing last night about our first trip together about 2 years ago. We went to Ocho Rios, Jamaica for about 5 days and had a great time! We went jet skiing, took a tour of Bob Marley’s hometown, and went shopping in one of their districts without our tour guide! We like to be a little adventurist! These are some pics we took while staying at the Club Hotel RIU. Although we had only been dating a few months then, we talked about one day having a destination wedding! It’s super affordable since it’s an all-inclusive resort. Some all-inclusive hotels charge you little to nothing to host your wedding there. It was so beautiful and we’d love to visit again in the future. Any others out there feel like it will be forever before we can go somewhere fun and relaxing again?!? Since we’re doing some serious saving right now for the wedding, we know we can’t splurge on much else. Oh well…until the honeymoon, I guess we’ll keep on reminiscing!

World Oceans Day Today!

June 8, 09  |  0 Comments

So I thought it was pretty freakin’ cool that the day I decided to start blogging, it happens to be World Oceans Day!  Apparently the day has been celebrated unofficially since 1992, but the U.N. has now declared June 8th as World Oceans Day! They say its a day for everyone to celebrate their “personal” connection with the ocean.  Well mine will come in 383 days when we get married with an ocean view!   At first we didn’t realize that the beach is what we wanted as our backdrop (call us slow) until we listed out all the possible places we wanted to get married…a lake house, near a waterfall, beach wedding in Jamaica (where we took our first vacation together).  It finally dawned on us that our love for the beach kept drawing us back to a “water” or ocean theme! We finally choose Southern California as the location since most of my mom’s side of the family still lives there and Mark loves the west coast.  Happy World Oceans Day everyone!!
