It's hard to believe that just two weeks ago we were here...
and by this point in the evening we were well into our wedding reception celebrating with our family and friends. I still can't believe it all actually happened!! Our wedding was certainly nothing short of spectacular, more than we ever could have imagined.
Anyways, we had a wonderful first week of marriage in Jamaica at The Jewel. *In an odd twist of fate, this was the EXACT same place my best friend Ashley and her husband went to on their honeymoon, EXACTLY two years prior to when we did. One other small detail, as she was putting on veil the day of the wedding she coincidentally wore the EXACT same hair comb in her hair as well. If God wasn't at work when he brought us together then.. well.. Ashley is proof and point that best friends can lives hundreds of miles away, not see or speak to each other for days (weeks even) and yet still manage to pick up right where things left off even closer than before.
Back to our honeymoon. Like the wedding, the honeymoon was.. AMAZING. It was a wonderful all inclusive adults only resort in lovely Ocho Rios, Jamaica. We got to the resort after a lonnng day of traveling and were greeted with cool towels and drinks. From the lobby we were escorted to our suite where we proceeded to order room service and crash for a late afternoon nap. After that we cleaned up some and got to seeing what this place was all about. We had a great first night dinner (I only had apps) at the Coral Cafe and then saw what else our resort had to offer us honeymooners.. There were several upscale restaurants for us to dine at, bars at every corner, and a few other fun little places we could grab a drink or a snack. They had two swim up bars, but we never got in the pool to try those out. We also had our fair share of activities which we participated in throughout the week. We had lots of pictures to share, but somewhere between the camera and the computer several files went missing. I'm heartbroken to say the least.
Our second week of marriage consisted of getting the house in semi liveable conditions as well as adjusting to living together. For Paul with me, and for me.. with Paul, and realizing I can't run to Columbia every chance I see fit. I also began to try my hand at cooking! Our friends Nate and Ryan did an excellent job of cleaning up the place while we were gone, but once hurricane Paul and Amanda's Wedding Gifts landed wellll.. I think you get the picture. All things considered I've done a wonderful job of finding homes for most of our lovely gifts. A huge chunk is still out in the den just waiting to be either used, returned or found a home for. There's a HUGE stack of tissue, boxes and bags waiting by the garage door to be taken to the dump.
And so that's my 2 week summary of married life.
