Just for Nikki!!!




Well Nikki where to begin!?! There is no way to adequately describe life here in Dominica. If you decide to move down here the best thing you can do is keep reading the blogs!!! Nothing we say will prepare you for what is down here, but it is so nice to come down and see the people who's blogs you have been reading. Meeting friends you know all about, but have never met is a great feeling and very comforting!
Life here is hard. I'm sure you have read all about how much it sucks to be walking home, in the pouring rain carrying everything you just spent 4 hours shopping for and didn't get everything you needed because the 6 stores you just went to didn't have everything you needed to make that comfort food you NEEDED because you are so sick of eating beans, chicken, and rice you could just kill one of the cows that is chasing you and eat every morsel of that wonderful meat known as beef! That being said moving here is the best thing I've ever done (besides marrying the best man in the whole world)! I have learned so much about myself.Like you, I have grown so much closer to my husband, because all we have here is each other. I have such a better view of the world, what is really important in life and what is superficial. I have made friends that are more like family than people that I just met 6 months ago. Not a day has gone by that I don't feel blessed to have been able to come here. You will get bored. You will want to go to Olive Garden so badly you honestly think it may be worth paying the $1000 to fly home. You will cry. You will miss your friends back home and resent the fact they have air conditioning. But if you really love your boyfriend you will grow closer together. You will become a better person if you come here.
I'm not trying to convince you one way or the other I just wanted to let you know the facts of living here. I wish you all the best for you and yours! Have a great life and enjoy watching the movies on your list, a lot of them are really great!

I know I'm a little early, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween now because I don't know if I will be able to get back on here before then. So HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
Life has just been flying by here. I thought it would go by slow because I have been so bored without my computer, but apparently not. The semester is halfway over now! This is great news because we have decided to go home for Christmas!!! You don't even know how happy this makes me. I really like living here, but the last two weeks I have just wanted to go back to America. I want to go to Target, and eat a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger and have a never ending pasta bowl at Olive Garden. Yesterday I had my first "I NEED to get of this rock" experience. Everyone has them and yesterday was my first. Island fever is setting in. It may be the fact that I don't have my computer or it might just be I have been here over 6 months!
The Halloween Kids Festival that I am in charge of is next Saturday so I will be busy this week prepping for that. I really think it is going to be great. I have never been a big Halloween person, but this year I am pretty excited (again probably because I'm missing America)!

Worst Dominica Day ever!!!!

So I personally think the worst thing that can happen to you on this island is your computer to not work, so guess what? Mine broke and it can't be fixed until we go home for Christmas. Ahhhh TWO MONTHS without a computer, on an island where there is nothing to do except spend mind numbing hours surfing the web. Well, the point is you won't be seeing to much from my superly awesome blog because my dang computer decided to get eaten by ants!!!!

P.S. I really think it was ants. I think they got in the computer and ate the cord that connects the computer to the screen. Curse them, curse them!!!!

Sorry!!!

So how rude am I that I would chew the whole blogger world out about not postin and then here I am taking a few days off myself. I'll try not to let it happen again. The reason for the lack of posts is the fact that my life has been filled with nothing the last few days. I was trying so hard to stay busy, but I guess my body just needed some rest. I've just been laying around watching a lot of tv. Boring I know.
