Just a quick note, I prob won't have a chance to write for a bit because 1. nothing new is happening but 2. i'm going to ORLANDO next week, which is long over due!! I can't wait to see my family and friends and Remie Martin Beiber Peepyopeep Potcake Yoda Doty Zubli (our dog from Nassau). I'm flying to Miami first for 4 days while Darin is at a Cashwiz meeting with all the management there, and then Laura and I are driving back Sunday night. My 30th birthday is in June so i'm celebrating while i'm there, so i'm sure i'll have plenty to blog about in the next few weeks! Stay tuned :)

Just a little self confidence boost :) My photography skills were put to good use here in Barbados for an online wedding magazine. They do 2 issues a year and this is their first issue for 2013. I had the pleasure of shooting a bunch of table decor at a store here called Dwellings, similar to Bed Bath & Beyond. I've been doing photography for a year, lots of free shoots just to get the experience so this is the first time I had my work published and when you take hours doing something that is kinda your first time but not really you question yourself and how good you could actually do. I was nervous, I didn't want to let them down or take ugly pics that they couldn't use, but this final product makes me feel accomplished, I did it, I did a great job too.....(pat myself on the back) lol. I posted the link to the site, the exact page my ad starts on and then go though page 97 where the Table Top spread ends. YAY!!

Darin had an amazing time in Thailand, he did so much and got to see so many things that I had to make a photo collage of his trip. Very glad he's back safe and I don't have to stress about work anymore, better him than I. Darin's favorite part was the tigers, it's always been something he's wanted to do and he said it was awesome. I'll soon have a video of the 2 1/2 weeks guys trip that I will surely post for your entertainment, it's almost done...taking a lot of time, hence why the posts haven't been frequent lately, oops :)

It's always nice having visitors come to town who have NEVER been to Barbados. I got the privilege of showing my sister and friend Jenny around my home island! We did all the tourist stuff which was so fun.  We rented a topless jeep to do the island tour all up the east coast of the island, stoping at really cool spots that nobody really ever gets to see because you have to off road to them. We drank one of every kind of foreign beer, stopped for a snack at the famous Soup Bowl surf break, went to Cherry Tree Hill where you can see the beautiful east coast from way way up. Another day we did the catamaran snorkel cruise to swim with the turtles and see a ship wreck, did an island tour up the west coast another day, also had a surf lesson with the famous Boosy here (the best on the island). It was Jenny and Laura's FIRST time surfing and they both did awesome! The sun was being shy the first 3 days of their trip but while we were surfing it started to peek it's way through the clouds and then it stayed for the rest of the week. We had a few great dinners and lunches with amazing scenery and the last night we went up to the famous Cliff restaurant and had a cocktail as the sun was setting and it had to of been the best sunset of their trip so it was well worth it. Of couse we had our beach days eating fish cutters for lunch and blowing up our floats to relax on and soak up the sun, nothing beats the calm of Pebbles beach and a fish cutter on a gorgeous Barbados day! Whether I live here or not Barbados is a MUST SEE before you die type of place, i'll know all the spots to tell you which will make your trip as amazing as the girls trip was. MISS YOU LAURA AND JENNY!!!!
