A Piece of Paradise

Off on our honeymoon to Ocho Rios, Jamaica...from Roanoke->Charolette->Montego Bay!!  We were sooooo excited, but exhausted from leaving in the weeee hours in the morning...things start getting fuzzy from there, lol!
Yay!!  We made it to Montego Bay...little did we know, we still had hours on a, so called dirt road w/ several stops for shopping & Red Stripes until we finally made it to the RIU in Ocho Rios...
 
                                       Beautiful view from our room
                            Chris gettin' ready to show off his beach volleyball skillz
                 While we were sitting on one of the lobby patios, waiting to eat dinner...
Part of the RIU, where we stayed...taken while we were on a paddleboat...yes, I said a paddleboat, lol!  We were a little far out, needless to say, we got our exercise for the week getting back to dry land, lol!

Jamaica is just beautiful!  Other than the town people in the boats & standing in the water that were dying to braid my hair, and wanted us to buy anything from homemade necklaces to illegal substances...it was perfect!  Don't get me wrong, the Jamaican people were nice...especially after we explained that we were on our honeymoon....and Chris was a policeman(okay, so that's not true, but it sure did make them STOP asking us if we wanted any illegal stuff!). 

Can you tell we LOVED the food!!  And notice the wine glasses in the bottom pic...look familiar?  Yep, they're in my cabinet...compliments of ME!  Long story short, we were supposed to get a honeymoom pkg including wine, choc. covered strawberries or a fruit platter in our room upon arrival...well, someone dropped the ball & bridezilla wasn't very happy!  After discussing this w/ mgmt, we returned to our room to find....a rinky dink plate with fruit from the fruit bar!  NOT FUNNY...so, we took the matter into our own hands & needless to say, brought home some pretty awesome RIU souvenirs!!

Bye Bye Long Hair!

So, I usually wait until I'm sitting in the chair at the hair salon to decided exactly what I want to do with my hair.  I've been going to the same hair dresser for over 10years and she knows me well.  I mentioned that Hailey has been wanting me to cut my hair short for a while now...similar to when I cut it off when she was only 15months old.  She has held onto a picture of me with short hair...so.....last minute decisions, decisions.                                                    Bye Bye long hair!  Hello short hair!  Hailey was very surprised & happy when my sister brought her the the salon to see the after math!  So, she requested to go home and take pictures of us...and it wouldn't b...
