jamaica me crazy

While most people spend Memorial Day at cookouts and other similar get-togethers, we spent ours in airports and on airplanes -- making our way to Jamaica for vacation :).  Other than the delays we experienced trying to get there, the rest of the trip was wonderful.  The weather was somewhat overcast and rainy at times but it was still nice to get away and relax at the beach. 

Unlike our three previous trips to Jamaica, we brought some friends along this time.  I wasn't sure how vacationing with another couple was going to be since Jamie and I had only been on vacation alone in the past, but we had a blast! It was a blessing to get to spend that time with Kent and Sarah right before our move.  Here are some pics from the trip:

God was so good to us and we got a HUGE blessing in the fact that somehow we got a room upgrade.  This is a picture of our room with our private pool and hot tub.

I'm thankful that we were able to take some vacation time before the craziness of intern year starts!

we're not in kansas anymore

Well, we never were in Kansas, but we're not in West Virginia anymore.  We have officially moved to Charleston, SC.  We have been here for about a week now and we are slowly settling in.  Most of our unpacking is done, but we definitely still have some organizing and decorating to do.  I will post pictures when the house is a little more put together. 

We have been enjoying our fenced in back yard (and so have the dogs), as well as exploring the surrounding area.  There is a park really close to our house that we have been running, biking and walking the dogs in.  We haven't made it to the beach or downtown yet, but I'm sure we will in the near future. 

More updates coming soon including a recap of our Jamaica trip :)
