Our Honeymoon

For our Honeymoon we went to Ochos Rios, Jamaica for a week! It was incredibly fun, relaxing, romantic and adventurous!

The Beach


Some cheap sandals I bought for us. Thought they'd be cute but they were horribly uncomfortable, and they didn't leave good imprints in the sand. It is the thought that counts though, right?!



Sea Eurchin that Matt brought out of the ocean...I think we are lucky we didn't get poisoned! This thing was cool...the little spikes were stiff when you would touch them but they would move around and look flexible...weird!
I think this is a picture one of the waiters took...yah mon!


The craft market.

Aww!

Gotta get the closeups!


We took a Catamaran to Dunn's River Falls and stopped off for half an hour to snorkel before getting to the falls. Snorkeling was alot of fun! View of the resort from the Catamaran.

Here we are on the Catamaran

Hand in Hand is the way they recommend you go up. Matt and I mostly went it together!
I just love this one!
Climbing the Falls was by far one of the coolest things I have ever done! We met alot of fun and nice people on the boat too!

Sooooo coooool!

If you ever go to Jamaica I would recommend the Dunn's River Falls for sure! I hear you can take a taxi over there and do the falls unguided for a bit cheaper, but then you miss out on meeting everyone on the boat ride over. Matt and I really enjoyed meeting people from all over. We met alot of Canadians (some people even thought we were Canadian). We also met people from Chicago, New York, England, Italy and Germany.
It is so cool to go somewhere and see all these people and have no idea what language they will be speaking when they start talking. I enjoy hearing other languages!
I am too tired to go into alot of detail about the Honeymoon, I just wanted to get this posted because I know I will have more to post real soon!

So are the days of my life....

What a week...a good week! Well I worked Wednesday night through Tuesday night. I was suppose to go to a fun lake party and visit with Matts sister and nephews on Saturday but unfortunately the apartment above me was getting new carpet...and it took 3 days to prepare and install...so I didn't get the best sleep. I was very sorry to miss Wendy (Matts sis) and the boys, because now they are back in Japan :( I wish they weren't so far away...the boys are growing up so fast and we are missing it. I hope they will be at the wedding! On Monday evening I met up with Emmy at Jakes (such yummy food!) and I got to see the pics from her Ultrasound. Baby is healthy...they are not finding out what it is...and I just love that. I think it is so exciting to wait and see if it is a boy or girl. There is very little in life that is a huge wonderful surprise. Ultrasounds are just so fascinating to me, I think I am going to be able to go with her to one of them...YAY!! Emmy and I had a very nice ...

Renew

Image
A couple of weeks ago I got to be part of a great act of kindness; a renewing of an old picture and a reliving of memories. You see my Grandparents are a part of an old neighborhood. Years ago the neighbors would get together to celebrate many occasions, one of which was New Years. One of the guys from the neighborhood was a great illustrator and drew up a picture of "New Years 1962" and gave it to my Grandparents. This great illustration has been given a new life; taken from it's plastic bag, matted and framed and now hangs prominently in my Grandparents den. The idea to get it framed came from one of my brothers and then my dad took the idea and ran with it. To witness my Grandparents delight in this gift and to see them reliving the memories of yesteryear was so moving!! Here they are, 91 years old, married for 60+ years, and just recently in and out of the hospital for three months...and then before my eyes taken back 40 years. I will never forget the joy they emitted...

A cup of Tea!

The Tea tag reads "Your choices will change the World". I thought it was brilliant. It wasn't a completely new concept to me, although it was worded in a way I had never seen. Yes, what I do matters and changes the pace for the rest of the world. Every choice, from whether I choose to stay in my pajamas and chill at home, to what kind of beverage I drink, to where I shop and what I drive, to the job I have and the people I talk to. Every choice matters. What can I do to help others? I want my choices to have a positive impact. I want the World to move in a progressively better direction. What choices do I make everyday that have actually become habits? Everyday I make choices that I am not even conscious of. How can I become conscious of my choices and my thinking? It begins with awareness. It begins by stopping and analyzing. It begins NOW! Live. Love. Laugh. Embrace.
