i’m back from jamaica !!! did everyone miss me – i sure missed houston. i heard it’s been a little quite around here on le blog. well all thats about to change. i not only have  876 pictures (literally) that i snapped while on my caribbean vacation; i also realized there are half a dozen posts i half way created a few weeks ago that i’ve never gotten around to posting. so everyone needs to get excited – it’s about to get real good. oh and btw all the jamaica landscape photo credit goes to my cohort bestie grace – great shots girl !!!
