Bye Bye St. John! Hello Rainbows! :)

As I write this, I am back home, in my comfy bed looking at my sweet dogs sleeping. Yesterday was such a long day where we were constantly going so I didn't have time to write. Yesterday morning, when we woke up, we got the house ready to leave and by the time we were all ready to go, it was time to drive to Cruz Bay. Mar was worried we wouldn't have enough time so he went on down to the car but I had to take one last picture of our view. Just look! I miss it so much already!  SO SO beautiful! THANK YOU, Lord, for giving us the beauty of your creation! THANK YOU for letting us experience it and take it all in!!!  So, we drove to Cruz Bay and on the way, the conditions looked perfect for a rainbow. I had prayed I would see one at the beginning of the trip. I looked the whole drive for a rainbow. I told Lamar that I might not get my rainbow but God loves me anyway, regardless, and I definitely didn't need a rainbow to know that but it would be fun to see one. I ke...

St. John Day 7

We woke up this morning to a cloudy day. We decided yesterday that we were going to go to Cinnamon Bay today and decided to still go because even if it did rain, it wouldn't be for long so out we headed!  I bought this little cover up last year at the beach and have never worn it. I found it in Macy's room in the closet with the tag still on! We went so late last year that I never had a chance to wear it and then forgot about it! It was fun to find it.  I think this log tree bench is so neat in the backyard. Cinnamon Bay  We went and laid our towels on the beach and this little guy came and stood in front of us for awhile. It made me happy.  We didn't stay long. It was cloudy and Lamar felt a mosquito. :) We both just decided to head on back to the house for our last day. But, we decided we would check out the restaurant first. The restaurant didn't look like much (because you couldn't see it from where we were and what we thought...

St. John Day 6

As I write this, I'm listening to the rain and thunder. What a wonderful sound! I love how it rains hard every day here and then it's just sunny. SO neat! Today, we just spent the day today sunning! It was great! I fell asleep on the raft, which I have never done before. Super relaxing! At about 4, we decided we'd had enough sun and got ready and went to eat at Skinny Legs. They are supposed to have the best burgers and they were really good. That is all we did today and it was wonderful. Here are some pictures. I put make up on! :) I also tried to straighten my hair..it just kept getting curlier throughout the night.  We set the self timer with a view this time. :)  Still in love after 14 years..so thankful!  I told Lamar today that he is the nicest man I know and then I said, "Well, the nicest husband I know!" and I'm telling you it's the truth. He treats me so well and takes such good care of me. I don't know how I would live withou...

St. John Day 5

It rained so much last night...downpoured. I LOVED the sound...we woke up a lot throughout the night but it didn't matter because we could sleep as late as we wanted. About 5:45 this morning, I just woke up and looked outside and it was PINK!! I think God woke me up just to see this view because I never wake up for no reason and I just opened my eyes and looked outside and was in aww of this. The clouds didn't stay pink long...they turned a beautiful yellow as the sun was rising.  Just glorious! You can see some of the bright blue sky behind the clouds. Yellow clouds! LOVE! And the colors started to fade. Lamar took this picture and was so proud. He should be. I think it turned out great! Our little lizard friend! :) I almost stepped on him a couple of times. He's pretty tame. There was also a big frog out! A lot more creatures come out in the rain! They make a lot of noise after it rains! Lamar and I took a bunch of pictures and then hopped back in bed....
