"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things fall together."

~Ocho Rios~

This is Jamaica and we climbed Dunn's River Falls. It was so amazing, I have not got the pictures developed yet. I used my waterproof camera for that trip. We also went and took a ride into the rain forest and went to the Dunn's River ruins. It was so pretty. As you all know I love love Jimmy Buffett so we went to Margaritaville and had a few local beers (redstripe) and some po boys....we felt so relaxed at the bar having drinks and listening to the music. The atmoshere there is just great you get lost in it and feel like you could just "waste away in Margaritaville" lol

~Haiti~

Haiti was very pretty and tropical. It is still under construction so it isn't complete yet. We did the Dragon's Flight zip line. It is the largest zip line over water in the world. Let me tell you I was a little nervous when I got to the top. I did it though and Darren loved it. We lounged in the hammocks and enjoyed the weather. The water was so pretty with all the different hues of blue.

~Leaving Miami~

These pictures are of us leaving the Miami port. The weather was nice and it was amazing to watch the sunset. As we were sitting in Miami drinking our bottle of champagne we were thinking "oh my" it is 72 here and -10 at home we are sooooo thankful!!!

~Freedom of the Seas~

Well these pictures are of the cruise ship and our room. We had such a great time and it was so nice to get away. It was nice to be pampered and have people wait on us. We really missed the kids though that was the hardest part of being gone. They did great and they were happy to see us. It is nice to get away but you find that your heart always wants to go back home.

~Bon Voyage~

Well we are getting very excited about our upcoming vacation. Darren is so excited and can't wait to get out of this cold weather. We had -40 below last week. Warm weather is going to sound really nice and inviting this time of year. We leave on Thursday to drop Cailan off at my Aunt's house and we are going to stay with her for a few days. Then we fly out on Saturday at 1:30pm. You all know that I HATE to fly and wish I could just blink my eyes and be there. I really am going to miss my babies. Brandon is at the age where he could care less, he gets to stay with Nana & Papa Priest and they spoil him while he is there. Papa Priest cooks for him every night and he loves it. He just said bring me back something. LOL.. Cailan is going to have so much fun and Auntie Wendy has tons of plans for her. She will more than likely have a new leapord print outfit when I get back. She will be busy but Auntie Wendy just loves her and I feel safe knowing she will be with her. Well we are going to do the Western Carribbean with stops in: Haiti, Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Mexico...we have some shore exscursions planned which are: ziplining, parasailing, snorkeling, dunn's river falls and mayan ruins. We can't wait to do it all. It will be nice to have some times to just our selves we feel very lucky that we are able to go and get away. Especially after these last few months it will be nice to rest and relax with my husband. Thank you all for offering your help while we are away. It means alot to us that we have family and friends like you. I know that Aunt Missy is going to miss her girl and Bunkey will miss his CC. xoxo
