Thank you so so much!!!!

Just Another Day In Dominica

I am completly finished with the SP Program, atleast for this semester! I got my check today as well! Now I am entering, what I refer to as, "No more Johnny Week". This time around its going to be worse because it will last twice as long. He has the third Mini in a week and then a week after that he has his final. So two weeks of long hours for Johnny.........BUT then I have two weeks of bliss! Johnny, his family, and then an all inclusive vacation to St. Lucia!!! How great is that?

Wedding Reminiscing

The last few days I have been working on a project. I took our wedding pictures and did my own editing and then made a slide show. I think it turned out well and you can check it out. I posted a link to it here on the blog.

I did another SP session today. I should be raking in the dough soon enough. Another thing I am excited for is that this semester is so close to being over. I can't believe it. Johnny only has classes for six more days! He only has three more tests!!! Its crazy. Only three more semesters and then we have to leave :-(

When do I get paid?

In a few minutes I am going to pretend to be a patient. For any spouses coming to the island I will recommend getting into the Specialized Patient Program. It is easy money!!! It is also pretty fun, at least if your into acting. I am going to be getting a pretty big check in the next little while. So excited!!!!


So one of my new favorite pastimes is to go on olio board and design my dream home. I have had this picture of my guest bedroom forever and now it is put to paper. I also did a bathroom.

If you want to join in the fun I have added a link on my blog. The best part is its FREE!!! So go, put on your designing caps and live it up. You can search what others have done or just make you own. Your very welcome!

Tracyographer

I just spent all day on the computer editing photos and making my new and improved blog! How do you like it? There are a couple of things I want to change, but can't seem to figure it out. I am not very talented when it comes to doing anything on the computer, so I'm very impressed I did this well. If anyone knows a lot about how to make your blog superly duperly awesome leave your email in a comment and you will be sure to get an email from me with lots of questions.

Time out

Yesterday, Johnny took an hour off from studying and we went snorkeling. It was so much better than last time we went. It was clear and the fish were out. It was so nice to spend some time doing something we love. I really can't wait until break starts. Besides all the fun things we have planned, I just can't wait to have Johnny back, NO STUDYING!!!!!

Pioneer Day with old and new friends

Today was a great extention of yesterday. Johnny and I went up to campus first thing this morning because we had a volleyball game. The other team didn't show, so no game for us. We ran into the Taylors down at the CAC. Katie was going to the pool with the kids, so I tagged along. I have missed hanging out and playing with the kids so it was great to do so. We had a great time. The Hintons and the Beattys also joined in on the fun.


After lunch I got to talk with my best girlfriend from high school. It was so great to see her! We have not seen each other face to face in three years. So I just want to say thank you to Skype for having video chat.

Girls Gone Wildrer

I don't think thats a word. Wilder....it sounds wrong. Anyway, I had such a great time tonight!!! I was in charge of the Farewell Banquet. This morning I was stressing out because we had a little hiccup, but the banquet rolled around and we had a great time! Dinner was great and afterwards we went to DeChamps. We danced the night away. I haven't been dancing in such a long time. It was a BLAST. I am going to be super soar tomorrow and my voice will be gone. After, a few of the girls decided we should go down to the beach. We jumped in the pool just for the heck of it and then headed down to the beach. It was a great night, thank you ladies!!!

Picniks is good!

I got Picnik today!!!! For those of you that don't know, its a photo editing progam on the internet. Super cheap and super easy to use. I love it!! You might have noticed my new picture up top. Yeah, cool I know. Here are some others I did today.






I played a really fun game of volleyball as well today. The court was coverd in water because it has been raining so much. It was so much fun! It reminded me of when I played in the front yard as a kid. We would get in trouble for this, but it was to much fun to resist. We lived on a hill and we would take the hose, place it on the top of the hill and let it run. It was such a blast!

Girls Gone Wild

I had a blast this weekend. I participated in Dive Fest canoe races with some awesome Dominican ladies. It was such a blast to go out with the Sirens. It felt like girls camp and senior class trip rolled into one. We were braiding each others hair, chatting the day away, sleeping on the bus. We just happened to be awesome at canoeing too! We had three teams and and we got 1st-3rd place! There were only four teams in the race, but we still kicked that teams butt. I wish I had pictures, but my camera decided it didn't want to work that day. Sadness~

I thank heaven for babysitting!

I have been babysitting a lot since we came to the island. I have really been enjoying it. The kids here are so easy. It gives me time off from the monotony of me day to day.
We had Jay and Cory over on sunday for dinner. It was a lot of fun. We just sat around and talked and had food that sort of resembled mexican food. It was great! I really have enjoyed getting to know the guys. I always sit in while the guys are studying, but it was great to see them out of study mode. I'm glad I could give them a good home cooked meal, since their wives had to leave. I love to have people over. I love to cook for them. Life is grand!!!

Chicken, chicken, and more chicken

So I feel like I have been running around a lot the last couple of days. Shopping, babysitting, errands, and SP are the main culprits. One new and exciting thing happened this week. My inlaws have decided they are coming to visit in August. I really didn't think they were going to be able to come so I'm very excited. Our break is going to be very busy. On the 20th Johnny's family gets here. I am going to plan some awesome stuff for us to do. they leave on the 26th. Then on the 30th Johnny and I are heading out to St. Lucia. We don't know where we are staying yet. I want to go to an all inclusive place. We have been bugeting really well and are going to have some money left over from our first semester. All the places are at least 50% off right now because it is the off season. My thinking is when are we ever going to be able to go an a fancy vacation for so cheap? The answer is never. We haven't decided when we will come back from St. Lucia. we have plane tickets there, but are tacking a ferry back so we can decide when we want to leave. Needless to say I am super duper excited.

Two Minis down!

Johnny finished his second Mini today. So we celebrated by participating in our favorite pastimes; snorkeling and free food! The water was merky today so we didn't see anything cool. It was nice to go out though. We haven't snorkeled since the last Mini.

After we went and got free hot dogs. We ran into Jason and Liz. I am going to miss them it won't be the same here without them. Liz helped me so much ajusting to island life. Thats how life is though, people come and people go.

Summer Fest

Today was the summer festival. It went very well. There were so many kids and they had a great time. They were laughing and screaming and running around. It was a lot of work because we had some last minute changes. I want to thank all the people that helped me out. I feel like I didn't do much. Michelle you were awesome! I am totally pooped now.

I promise I'm not dead!

I am so sorry for my long absence from the internet world. My computer adapter burnt out and I was only alotted minimal time on Johnny's computer. I got it back today! Living here on the island is hard without your computer and especially without the internet. Never the less, life has been just great here. The rainy season is in full effect along with the summer heat. I have been super busy lately: babysitting, specialized Patient Program, the Summer Festival. time is still rushing by. We have less than two months left in the semester. CRAZY!!! I'm excited to go to Saint Lucia in August. I have been taking some good picture which I will post later.

Oh how I've missed this!
