My hubby was in heaven last night our friend cooked us a real Jamaican meal. I think I finally learned how to cook one meal at least last night.

Does your husband cook?

No he does not cook. I cooked the meal hes friend taught me tonight and he loved it. My husband blew up the microwave so he is not aloud to cook its to scary.

Nice picture Shawna of the little one. It looks sweet. Mine looked like a dot. It was a half of inch big. Your picture is so wonderful you can make out everything. Did your doctor give you a new due date?

Hi Ladies ,

Like most of you life has me really busy. Congrats to all those whom received their visas and all the new arrivals and arrivals to come to the VJ Family. All the Likkle ones.

I met my SO while i was in Jamaica to meet my husband to BE!!! I had been talking to my friend for almost 3 years before I decided to go Jamaica to meet him in person. Me and my best friend stayed in Runnaway Bay . His name was David nad him and his friend came to the hotel. He was gorgeous and fine but what ruined it he started asking for MONEY. So needless to say the first day I met him was the last.

My girlfriend and I made a pack that we would just enjoy our vacation . NO MEN!!!!!!!!! We went to the Fall two day later and werwe hit on by every Gigolo in Jamaica :help: . As we were leaving the Falls this dark chocolate man said hello. WHO? My SO. Remember the pack? No more men !!! Didn't work out. First I thought he was another gigolo but he said he was waiting on his family to come out and they did !! We were together all the time after that. I was even

stranded 3 extra days due to the hurricaine. After I returned home I felt like I left a part of me there. We spoke everyday.

Well I started the process in August 2005 and had second thoughts because how could this be real ? I had only known him 10 days. So ladies I started dating an American and cancelled the visa process . My SO was heart broken and so was I but I had known the other guy for three years and he started to pursue me gifts, wineing and dining. We broke -up 6 months later . My So never stopped calling and checking on me wishing me happiness.

He called one night and asked me how Me and my new man were doing and I told him what happened. He didn't say I told you so or even laugh all he said was when are you coming down to let me hold you. The rest is history and I am now MRS. VERTON WHITE.

So for those that second guess if it's real trust your head but follow your heart.

Beautiful love story! :)

From the wedding!!

OMG!! lol. My SO doesn't have a microwave in JA and I don't think he even knows how to use one. He's a great chef though...I'm the one that doesn't know how to cook. I'm just so used to my college way of eating but I'm going to try and learn the basics (and maybe more) before he comes. If any of you have any recipes, PLEASE send them my way

My husband never had a microwave either but it started on fire when he started to cook popcorn. His mother, aunt and friends all cooked for him so he never learned. He use to always eat out because it was cheap for him to do in JA.

I went to the interview and hubby flew to the states by himself. It was his first plane flight and he did well. He didn't want me to spend anymore money.

I swear this world is so small. My hubby was looking up bands who play at the Chicago Jamaican club wild hair and he found two of his former friends who use to play music with him at Holiday INN Sunspree in Mo Bay. So he went to the Wild Hair Club tonight to see his friends play and I guess he is going to get to play with them. They told him they may need a bass player. Really its just nice to know that he has some friends close by with so he can JAM. When I have a Tuesday night free I want to go and see his friends play. Tuesday is one of the only free days at the Wild Hair. Anyways sorry to blab on and on. Its a small world after all. :whistle:
