Picking Strawberries

Yesterday I got a call from Katie asking if I wanted to go pick strawberries. Of course I said yes. I could smell the strawberries on the wind. They were so delicious!!! We definitely want to go back and get more before we leave.
I felt like yesterday was so busy. After the strawberry picking we went to Walmart and then it was to Katie's for laundry day. I spent a lot of time there looking at apartments. We also had a visiting teaching enrichment activity that night. So a lot of going yesterday.
I could NOT fall asleep last night. I had the biggest headache in the world. I probably got an hour of sleep. I have had this headache all day as well, so I've been doing a whole lot of nothing today. I hope to get a little more sleep tonight.

Lunch Date

Johnny took me out to lunch today. You may remember me raving about this Japanese place we ate at our first night here, that's where we went. It was so good and I ate so much food I got a cramp walking home.
Johnny got a calling in church as a ward missionary. He went to a training meeting tonight so I watched some tv, so I did.
I am starting to get very excited about Dominica I keep having dreams about it. I'm looking at apartments and think I found one I like. but I want to get a first hand opinion about it. Hopefully finding an apartment in Dominica goes as smoothly as Miami did.

One week + Me = Not much

Sorry I haven't written in awhile, but not much has been happening. I have been doing some more prep for Dominica. I had a dream about that beautiful island last night. I think I may subconciously be getting excited about it, subconciously ;-)
Okay Arizona family, we really want to come visit sometime during April before we head out. Just wanted to let you know so you have a heads up bucause our plans will probably be very short notice. Also if anybody is willing to let us stay with them it would be appritiated. We love you all and want to spend some quality time. We expect some family game nights, be prepared to LOSE!

Happy Valentine's Day

I have to tell you I am not the biggest fan of Valentine's Day. I think that it is really commercial and I think you should show your love for people everyday not just one. Johnny on the other hand likes Valentine's day. So I decided I didn't want to spoil it for him. I made a valentine for him and wrote a letter to him on the back of it. He got me a balloon with a bag of chocolates on the end of it. I also made a big dinner for us.
I want to say to my Family and friends, I love you! I think of you often and miss spending time with you. I teach primary in church and this week we had a lesson on family. It is so amazing the God made a plan for us that we can have families and we can be with them forever. You all are my best friends! I love you!!!

Santa, please bring me wireless internet!

I am over at Katie's right now and it is reiterating my want for wireless internet. I have gotten so much done in this two hour stint. Things I've been wanting to for a couple weeks. I also have time to write on my blog, which I haven't done in awhile. I know its more important for Johnny to have it, but sometimes I just want to check my facebook!
Here is a picture of beautiful Dominica just cause its on the brain.

Food Glorius Food

Today I spent getting our passport applications ready. I made sure they were filled out correctly and then we went with Katie and the kids to get our pictures taken. This is may be really weird, but I have always looked forward to the day that I get my passport. I guess it just means I'm one step closer to my world travels. I hope to fill it one day. I know it won't happen any time soon, but I'll get there!
I have decided to make weekly menus. It makes deciding what to make for dinner and my grocery store trips a lot easier. I made tortillas again yesterday. I don't know what I did different, but the dough turned out so much better than it ever has before. They were so yummy! There is nothing like fresh tortillas with butter! I also tried a new meal this week, Eggplant Parmesan. It was so good. I was talking to Katie yesterday, and expressed this thought. I have the hardest time spending more than $7 on a t-shirt, but no problem spending $12 going out to eat. Is that twisted or what?

Life as I know it.

Well its the same old story here. Yesterday Johnny DID take a break from studying and we walked to Target. He bought me a Magic Bullet. We have heard from some Ross students that it is very handy on the island. They made smoothies all the time, plus it doubles as a compact food processer, cheese grater, and mixer. I have been getting back into the thought process that I'm going to have to move to a third world country in a couple of months, and trying to get ready for it. There is so much to do and so little time.

This week

Well life has not been to exciting. We came home and Johnny has been studying non stop. So that means I have not done anything. Its hard because I don't like going out without Johnny because I get nervous. You have to understand I grew up in a town with a population of less than two thousand, so walking around the streets of Miami by myself is a little scary. I think I'm starting to feel the cabin fever. I get so excited to just go to the grocery store or do laundry.
Yesterday I babysat for the Taylors so they could go on a date. I had fun with the kids. They are so easy to take care of. I let Matt play video games. Rachel mostly kept herself entertained. I did have them draw pictures for there parents. They are such good kids. I have so much fun playing with them.
I am trying to get my shape in shape for those of you that watch the Tyra show. I am keeping a food journal and I started doing yoga this week. I hope I keep it up. I always to really well for about two weeks and then get frustrated because I can't see any results so I give up. I want to be in shape for Dominica. It is very hilly there and you have to walk everywhere. I'm getting excited for the big move. When we were in Orlando I realized we are half way through MERP and will be heading for the island soon. I have a ton of stuff to plan and get done before we head out. Yay now I have something to do!!!

Epcot

I have to admit before we went to Epcot I didn't know what it is. All I knew about it was that it has the big golf ball, but it was so much fun! The Test Track was awesome and I really liked the simulated space one( I can't remember the name of it). Just so you know it takes forever to get around the world. It was cool to go to the different countries. When you get to the new country you feel like you are there. The sights and smells are authentic. We went to Soaring. I had done that in California Adventure but Johnny hadn't. Hunny I Shrunk the Audience was fun as well. I was shocked to find out that the "golf ball" has a ride in it. Everything was a blast.

Hollywood Studios

Friday we were in Hollywood. It was so fun to see all the shows. We didn't get a chance to go to some of the things we wanted because the line for Tower of Terror was long. We waited over an hour, but it was so worth it! It was so much fun. I do have to say I think the the Rockin' Roller Coaster was my favorite though. I loved it! The car show was really fun and did some shocking things. I really enjoyed the 3D Muppet show. We missed the very first of the Indiana show but we still had fun there too.
