We're back

Our vacation was amazing, I could go on for hours about all the fun we had.
My favorite part of the trip was going to Dunns River Falls and climbing the 900 ft of waterfalls. It was absolutely beautiful, I didn't want to leave.

We also went on a tour and got to see some old churches, schools and the silk trees where they used to hang the slaves. This tour was very educational about the history and current events with Jamaica.

The night of our anniversary I surprised Corey with a private candelit dinner, the picture below is right before we sat down to eat, the closest gazebo with the beautiful ironwork roof is where we ate.

This is the view from our room, it looks a little foggy because as soon as you stepped outside the humidty would fog up your glasses and camera. As you can see the pool was right out our back door and the beach was a few steps to the right.

This was the resorts private island which you just hopped on a boat to get to, there was a bar, pool, and resturaunt over there.

These "bells" were all over the island, they were lamps, I'd love to get a few of those for the backyard.

Moments

Sometimes life gives you those perfect moments which you know you will remember for the rest of your life, they don't have to be extravagant or exciting, but simple and impactful. Yesterday evening I was blessed with one.

After a fabulous spaghetti dinner which was claimed to be the best I'd ever made (yay me!) Corey and I needed to pick up some thing for our trip so we decided to take Zoey for a walk and go to the CVS nearby, while I shopped Corey took Zoey to Petco and got her a new collar and some treats. On the way home we walked through the park and took turns running Zoey around the fields, Corey took her for a last run so I sat down to pick some flowers. It was warm out and the sun was setting leaving an orange glow, I looked up to see my little family off in the distance running, jumping, and playing tag. (Yes Zoey plays tag) At that moment all my worries were forgotten and life could not have gotten any better. I felt as though I was watching a movie in slow motion.

That was my simple moment I will never forget. I'm so lucky...

Fair days

The fair has been in town and ended yesterday. My mom got free passes from her work and had no desire to go so Corey and I went yesterday for a little bit. I don't know what it is but the fair just isn't what I remember. I went 3 times this year and stayed about 2 hours each time. I guess I'm getting old cause the funnest part to me is going inside the buildings and looking at all the art and displays.

The rest of this weekend was mellow, I took Corey's cousin shopping for his other cousins baby shower, did some laundry and kinda started the packing process. This time next we will be leave Atlanta for Montego Bay. YAY!
