Okay--we have just had one of the most fun weeks ever! It has been a whirlwind of a week, with driving to Austin last Friday, leaving our kiddos early Monday morning and flying to Jamaica till Thursday, then driving back to Oklahoma on Saturday....whew--makes me tired just typing about it! Let me start over at the beginning....first of all, we were going to Jamaica to celebrate our 10 year anniversary (June 21st was the real day). We paid for the trip in February, and applied for our passports in March, thinking we were doing great--giving us enough time to get them before the big trip. But, NO--they didn't come in! It had been 14 weeks by the time we left on the plane--and still no passports! Luckily for us, they changed the rules a little and let us travel on our "application status" and driver's license. THANKFULLY!!! I was relieved! And...for those of you like myself, I had never been out of the country, and just so you know, there are a million lines to go through--immigration, customs, checking baggage (for the second time), etc, etc. It was crazy! But we made it--and had SO much fun!
We stayed at Breezes resort in Montego Bay, and it was so nice--it was all inclusive, they had entertainment every night, the beach was beautiful, water sports were included, I could go on and on! We traveled off of the resort one day to go to Dunn's River Falls--it was awesome! We climbed a huge waterfall--it was a blast! We have one picture--that we paid for, because we couldn't take our camera...I'll see if I can scan that one in. We got to snorkel off of our beach--which was one of my favorite things--we saw a puffer fish and a ray! Too cool! Plus LOTS of pretty fish. We rode in a glass bottom boat, jumped off the trampoline float in the ocean, walked on the beach, ate yummy food, and, last but not least, we renewed our vows on the beach! They treated us to a ceremony, reception, very nice italian dinner, and breakfast in bed the next morning. It was so wonderful--and Josh's idea--got to give him the credit for that--what a great husband!
This is our resort--ocean view. 
This is Josh and me on the glass bottom boat.
One scary thing happened on the way home--in the Atlanta airport a man had lost his 8 year old son--and we had a 4 hour layover, so we helped him look, and thankfully the boy was found--comletely safe and sound. We were relieved--how scary would that be?
Our kiddos got to stay in Austin during all of this time with Josh's family--his parents, lovingly known as Mimi and Paw paw, and his sister Summer, and sister-in-law Amber, all helped take care of our kids while we were gone. They are so great--and had a lot of fun with all 10 cousins together! For pictures of their fun (I don't have any of those!), go to the Best's blog in our Fowler Friend's link. She has some really precious pictures!
I'm going to have to do a separate post for more pictures... I guess I'm trying to upload too many!

I am glad you had so much fun!!! To get all the pictures you want you can just add a slideshow to your blog (like I have on mine). It is so much easier. Looking forward to more pics.
