Jamaica 2012: Can I go back right now?

At the beginning of May, Trey and I were fortunate enough to travel to Jamaica. Although Trey has made the trip to Jamaica a few times before, I had never been, so I was pumped. Our sweet friends, Jeremy and Sheena, chose beautiful Jamaica to get married and we were so excited to celebrate with them.

The trip started by boarding a plane in O-town at 11 and we were going through customs by 1 in Montego Bay. Yes, two hours for travel time= awesome. We had an interesting two-hour ride to Sandals-Whitehouse and then we were in PARADISE. We had the best time laying out, swimming, paddle-boarding, learning tennis, and just enjoying the gorgeous island of Jamaica!

                                          Super FUN wedding party
                                    Beautiful sunset while on the boat cruise
                                   Yes, this is my husband. Gotta love him.

                                          Yay for more married friends : )
                                                      
                       Trey called Whitehouse "tropical East Tennessee"

Happy Mother's Day : )

I am not a mother. Yet, I do know what it takes to be a good mom because I have the world's greatest example. You see, I hate to tell all of you, but I pretty much have the best mother. When I was growing up, I always thought she was great, but since growing older, I KNOW how great she is. 

My mom is my best friend. I know this sounds so cheesy, but she really is. She is my confidant. I really do tell her everything. She is my biggest cheerleader. She is always there to give me advice or be my voice of reason. It makes me really sad that I can not spend time with her today. I have really missed living so close to her. Yet, when we are together, we just get to soak it up. I am so excited to see her at the end of the month. So, here's to the best mom, Kathy Diane, I LOVE YOU : )

I really have an amazing mother-in-law. She is such a Godly woman who has taught me so much. She is also a great example of how to love selfishly. She did a great job raising my sweet husband, so I am forever grateful. 

 Also, I have a pretty amazing sister who also is the bomb.com. She loves her kids with her whole being and they are pretty blessed to call her mom. Thanks for being such a great example.
                          Happy Mother's Day to these three amazing women!!!
