Back from St. Thomas!!

We just returned from St. Thomas last week! We had a wonderful time. We had a lot of good family time with Jack, Judi, Jeff, Meredith and Jen. We also had the chance to get a little wedding planning done. We met with our wonderful coordinator Janelle Scott with Island Bliss Weddings - she instantly put us at ease! This will definitely be low stress event with Janelle taking care of us. The Room is coming along beautifully, Jeff and Zach definitely know what they are doing! We also managed to stuff ourselves silly at the East End Cafe and The Cellar....yum!

We feel so lucky to have such a wonderful family working to make our wedding special. And, we feel so lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends to share this event with.

Here is a link to all of our pictures from our trip...we hope it gives you a taste for the island!
