Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

[Marlita 0]

Hello from JAMAICA!!

All is well, I am married and it was the most beautiful day in Negril from the last few weeks. We had GREAT weather despite the impending storm. There was actually not a cloud in site on the wedding day. Not one bit of even a drizzle of rain. The Hurricane completely missed our side of the island. Power went down last night about 6pm, but is up and running now, so no problem mon!! We had a generator in the hotel, so we were set. Was the most amazing experience walking down Norman Manley Blvd, in complete darkness and the trees blowing all about and not a soul in sight. For the most part it was just a heavy wind storm. We didnt even get any rain during the night.

Right now its clearing up and the "sun is shining"! I hear that the southeast side of the island got hit a bit worst than us, but still the storm was far less than what I have been reading on the internet. Prayers work wonders, and thats what we all have been doing here. Prayed for Gods favour for our wedding and HE blessed us immensely. Last night prayed for the island of Jamaica, and HE granted us.

Just wanted to stop in while I had internet access and say hello to you all. Keep us in your prayers and hope all your family and friends are doing well. I'll be having internet off and on with my laptop as I get in a Hotspot every now and then, so I will be sure to update our site with new pictures and video from our trip.

Talk soon!!

I'll explain this picture lata, it has a funny story.

It's good to hear that everyone has been able to make contact and all is well. It was pretty scary yesterday afternoon. I am sick of looking at the Weather Channel and "Your Local on the 8's" UGHHHHHH!!!

Congratulations Marlita!!

Rhonda -- GET ON THAT PLANE!!!

Same here for us Andre and I haven't been able to reach any of his brothers, mother, grandmother or aunts and cousins. God only knows how tired my fingers are from dialing all 33 numbers each time (yes I counted )

We haven't heard from any of Roy's family either....they are by Andre's in St. Catherine/Clarendon. Roy doesn't seem to be too worried so I'm (trying to) not get my "panties in a bunch" The last time we talked to them was yesterday around noon our time.....

We were able to talk to most of the family throughout the day and night. We spoke to my MIL this morning, she lives in Cauldwell Hanover, she said there wasn't much damage to the area.

I hope those of you who were unable to make contact will be able to do so soon.

Great to hear. Congrats Kimmy!

Good news...My dad spoke to a neighbour who owns a shop by my grandparents. He went up to their house and they are doing fine. Their phone is out of service. My dad plans to go down between now and Wednesday to see them.
