Jamaica, Here We Come...

Well, technically, here we come in a little less than 6 months... but we'll be there soon!

I'm so excited b/c we booked our Honeymoon today! Patrick called the travel agency, and we were able to take advantage of a couple of specials they were running (that end today). We're going to be staying at the Grande Riveria Sandals Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Ahhh!!

We'll be the first ones to admit that we realize that it's COMPLETELY over the top, but we're splurging and getting a room with a butler. "Jeeves," as Patrick is referring to him/her will be at our service for the week, and it's an experience that we'll probably never have again... Since our initial thought is to start talking about starting a family about a year after we get married, this isn't a trip we're going to be taking often (if EVER again), and since this is our honeymoon, we're going all out.

Wondering what Jeeves will do? From Sandals.com...

Yep, I'm ready to go! In the meantime though, I put together my inspiration board for our decorations meeting (whenever that's going to happen). Ta daaaaaa:

This makes me want to find new projects to work on. I think the next one will be playing around with ideas for a flower for my hair, but we'll see. I'm headed to bed now with visions of sugarplums Jamaica and decorations dancing in my head...!
