Yea Mon, No Problem



Hey everyone! I’m back and better than ever. I am now “hitched” and had a wonderful honeymoon in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The beaches were beautiful and the food and travels were great. Best of all, I had a relaxing week with my WIFE. Everything was “irie”, which is a Jamaican descriptive word for the feeling of perfection in the world.

When we were in Jamaica we met some great people. Two staff members at the hotel, Javed and Othneil were incredible and more than happy to lend a helping hand and give us suggestions of things to do around the resort and island. They had a wonderful outlook on life and it made you realize that money was not the center of the world. Instead, they believed in loving one another and enjoying what they had been given. Othneil’s smile and Javed’s humor will not soon be forgotten!

Although we had such a great time in Jamaica, it was nice to be back in Iowa as well. We missed our friends, families, co-workers, not to mention THE FOOD! The familiar faces and places welcomed us and we realized that you do not need beautiful beaches, fine dining, waterfalls, and tropical sunsets. Instead, we realized what our Jamaican friends had taught us, to enjoy the beauty of what we have.

Each place is great in its own way. Iowa is a great place to live with great people. Simpson is the same way. I am back home, and ready to help some of the best students around realize why Simpson is right for them!


Hopefully I will be posting some more wedding pictures and honeymoon pictures soon-so check back!

GO STORM
