Yeah, mon

Sadly, we have returned from Jamaica.  Despite a rainy forecast, we ended up with 6 beautiful days in paradise. And we looooooooooved it.  We stayed at the beautiful Couples Tower Isle in Ocho Rios.  It was the perfect place for people who want to be active yet relaxed, because they include so many excursions.

The resort had so much to do that we were really busy which was good for two people who aren't good at laying around on the beach.  We snorkeled, went horseback riding, ate, went on a catamaran cruise, kneeboarded, ate, went to the pool, climbed a waterfall, ate, played beach volleyball...and ate.  Four restaurants and an all inclusive package can be a DISASTER.
Things we learned in Jamaica:
Matt can't understand Jamaican people.  At all.
Erin can gain 5 pounds in 6 days (thank you, buffets).
Matt really doesn't like Asian food.
Erin can't kneeboard.  At all.
You should probably still wear sunscreen even when it's raining.  Luckily we learned this the last day.

We loved it and can't wait for another tropical vacation.

We did it!

We survived the wedding!  Wooooooooo hooooo!  I don't think I've ever been as tired as I was this morning, but it was totally worth it.  Matt and I had an absolute blast.  To everyone that was in attendance, thank you so much for coming!  And for everyone that couldn't make it, you were missed.  

Matt and I spent a good hour recapping our favorite parts of the day, and they just kept on coming!  I really think I wouldn't change a thing (including the topless fisherman walking through the ceremony).  

At the request of a friend of mine, I will be continuing the blog post-wedding.  I'll break down some parts of the ceremony, possibly feature some of the craft photos we did...or just ramble about married life!  But today is a rest day.  I leave you with a photo that I stole from my friend Danielle, who wins the prompt picture posting award.  Thank goodness for facebook!
