Jamaica Mon!






As a wedding planner, sometimes duty calls and I have to go out of town for an event or wedding. This June- my job
took me to Jamaica for a Destination wedding (darn! :) ) So- I decided to bring Jules with me because the thought of
leaving her at barely 5 months old was unbarable. My sweet mom was on board to go with me and take care of her
while I worked. Let me tell you- Jules was the HIT of the resort. We were in Montego Bay and stayed at the Ritz
Carlton. Every employee and most all of the guests new her name and looked for her daily. I was so wrapped up in work
when I would get a free moment I would wonder around looking for mom and Jules. People I had never seen before would
see me and say "Your mom and Jules are over there" and point me in the right direction!! She really became a little
celebrity while we were there! She just smiled at everyone and showed off for them-it was too cute!! This was the perfect
time for mom to bond with her because I would be leaving her for the very first time the end of July for a work
conference. I was most worried about our flight- and that was a breeze. I was so thankful that she slept almost
the entire time and did not cry at all. So were all the people on that plane too!
We arrived back home in Memphis on Father's Day. I was so happy to see my sweet husband and Jules was just as
excited to see her daddy! For his Father's Day gift- we had a photo shoot done on the beach in Jamaica. It was
a blast and the photos turned out precious! My good friend and photographer Donny Granger with Creation Studios
took the pics. Thanks Donny!!
I hope our next trip is a real vacation- and Darrin will get to join us! The countdown is on for the end of Wedding Season
-it is almost over! Yippie!!
