I’m taking a mini vacation to visit a great friend and past bride (click here for her photos) in Florida this week. I’ll be gone from the 23rd-29th and will return emails when I return. I’m so excited to see my friend and get a little shopping in too!

Nicole and Mark were married back in May at Negril Escape on the cliffs of Negril. I just saw the slideshow for the first time and am excited to share it here for everyone to see! I absolutely loved Nicole’s dress. Click here for the wedding slideshow. Misha Earle did a fanatastic job with photos as usual!

Congrats Nicole and Mark! It was a pleasure working with you.

This year my husband and I decided to take a last minute birthday trip to Barbados. Airfare is cheap, so within a week of purchasing tickets we were boarding the plane! We really enjoyed ourselves…but it still doesn’t compare to Jamaica.

Here are some of the pictures from our trip.

Laura and Mike were married yesterday at Idle Awhile in Negril. A great time was had by all. Once I receive the professional pictures I’ll post those (in the mean time excuse my non-professional ones). I loved Laura’s centerpeice pick, very unique.

Congrats Laura & Mike! I wish for you a lifetime of happiness.

Congrats to you Kim and Michael!

Kimberly and Michael were married at Idle Awhile in April, 2011. It was a beautiful day with a fantastic sunset. Below are a few photos of the day taken by a friend of theirs.

Congratulations Erin and Brad!

Erin and Brad were married at Couples Negril in January. They were some of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with, and their whole party was fantastic. Over 100 guests accompanied them to Jamaica in order to witness their wedding!

Take a look at the slideshow by fantastic photographer Misha Earle.

It’s late and I’m tired, but here is a quick picture of the beautiful arch from today’s wedding at Aqua Negril on 7 mile beach.

I got to meet my new nephew this week and boy his he a beautiful boy! Can’t wait to go home and snuggle him again. Congrats to my brother Andy, sister-in-law Amy and Brendan’s big sister Ellianna!

My sister-in-law Amy, as happy as could be!

Happy Family

There is something you should know about me…I hate seeing animals (or anything really) in pain or being neglected, hence the reason I have 3 dogs…wait, no, now I have 4.

Mommy dog as I call her (as she’s the Mommy to several litters of puppies) came to the gate on December 30, 2010 as she’s done many times before for food. When I got out to the gate to let her in I saw something was really wrong with her, she was drooling blood and puss and smelled like rotting flesh (poor girl). She went onto the veranda to try and get food and water and just held her head over the food and water obviously wanting it but not being able to do anything about it. I thought she had been poisoned…long story short, after 2 days of the vet coming, meds, etc. we figured out she had a bone wedged around the back of her mouth that had infected everything and swelled her mouth and throat up so she couldn’t eat or drink…she was going to dehydrate and/or starve to death . We were able to put her to sleep and get the bone out and now I have a pal for life. This stray dog who would come in to the yard to eat, but wouldn’t let me even touch her now can’t get enough of me, she can’t wait to be pet, she comes up and gives me hugs and she’s getting healthier and stronger every day. She’s now been fixed (no more puppies for her) and she’s getting along splendidly with the other dogs. Mommy is a welcome addition to our home!

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you enjoy!
