Paradise!

Well, we have officially made it through two weeks.  Things are going really well...We got 1 of our cars repairs done this weekend (steering column fixed) so it makes it much easier to drive now!  I am starting to feel a LITTLE BIT safer riding with my husband, although I do still have to remind him which side of the road he needs to be on =)

Friday night we attended Mr. RUSVM, its like a contest for one boy from each semester and they have to come up with acts for 4 categories...It was interesting to say the least!  It was primarily focused on 'sex parts' and, at times, was a bit on the extreme side!  None the less, it was a good laugh!  Saturday was the SCUBA clubs biggest fund raiser at Reggaee Beach and we spent the day there hanging out with friends, swimming, playing cornhole, etc. etc.!  We all came home with the intent to 1) Nap, 2) Eat, 3) Study (for those vet students anyways!) and Brayton and I layed down for our 'nap' at 7 ish, and didn't wake up till 9 am!  OOOPS!!!!  It was so needed after 4 hours of sleep every night last week!!  Sunday we made our second driving trip to the grocery store and got all stocked up!  Grocery shopping here is always an experience!  You either go to the store, get everything you need and leave satisfied...Or go, get a few things and wonder what you will cook with for the week!  This time, we did not do too bad - the date on the meats was a few days AHEAD of the date (rather than  a couple weeks old) and we were able to stock up and freeze some things!  YAY!

Today (Monday) is St Kitts Independence Day, so everything on the entire Island is shut down, which means we had a 3 day weekend - much needed!!  Today we are working on school stuff and doing our first turtle work!  Soon, we are headed to the SNAPPER facility to meet Dr. Stewart to learn how to feed, care for, clean, play with the rescued sea turtles there (they cannot be released due to disabilities so they are there forever) and we are also going over to a lab on campus to help with the rehabilitation of some babies that need to be fixed up so they can be released!  This is super exciting for us, and we will have some pictures later =)

Other than that - things are normal here...The sun shines, it downpour rains periodically with NO warning, its hot, the AC is cold, and love is all around us!  <3
