Happy 5th To Us!




After not much thought Spencer and I decided to take a trip somewhere to celebrate 5 years of wonderful marriage. We decided this trip would just consist of THE TWO OF US! I initially wanted to go back to the same resort in the Bahamas where we went on our honeymoon, but Spencer easily convinced me to go to Jamaica. He found the perfect all-inclusive resort through Sandals called Royal Caribbean. We spent the entire week being pampered and spoiled with great service and really good food.

The weather was perfect the entire time and the beach was absolutely gorgeous. We had our own little lagoon outside of our room and enjoyed room service for breakfast several times, snack time and one night for dinner. For some fun activity we went kayaking, rode the aqua cycles, and of course, snorkeling. We also enjoyed playing games of checkers, scrabble, and shooting pool. There was an island in direct view of our resort that was just for us and we spent an entire day on the island to which Spencer and I had the pool to ourselves 90% of the day, along with excellent service. It was truly a relaxing and much needed time away for both of us and without a doubt strengthened our marital bond and love for each other. Spencer and I have both always known that God crossed our paths on purpose to bring us together and we are more than ever grateful for that. He is a terrific husband that leads this house with honor and hard work. Spencer is an even better father who desires to spend every second of his time home with his children and provide for them. More than anything though, he my best friend and I love calling him mine!
