In Trinidad Once Again...

Howdy folks!

I know my dear blog has been dreadfully neglected, we have been so busy!

We are now back in Trinidad after 8 weeks of Furlough. Thanks to all of you who helped us and kept us in your prayers. It was lots of fun! We got to spend a lot of time with family, and see precious friends. 

We went to seven different states, several supporting congregations, and even got to go to PTP for four days. It was very uplifting and encouraging. 

I did graduate and had a super fun party, so this next year will be new for me. I'm excited. :)

Another post hopefully coming soon! :)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Holiday..and the end of the year

Hello all!

It's been a while since I last posted, we sure have been busy!

Our holiday started on Friday afternoon of the 16th, and it started with a bang! We had a lime with all the students and some of the teachers of the school, here by our house. They are always so fun and encouraging!

The first week we spent a day by some friends learning a few new Trini dishes, and 2 days by a wonderful family in La Brea. (That is down by the Pitch Lake.) I love this family so much! They are so welcoming and hospitable, plus they make me laugh! :)

Last weekend we had our Star Wars marathon! Woo hoo! Spread out over a couple of days, all 6 movies...*Brain washed by Star Wars, we are!* Oh! Sorry! The force was just overwhelming me...er, yeah. Heh heh!

This last week we spent a day with another family who we have gotten close to. They have 3 children- Keturah, who is my age, Rebecca, who is Miles' age, and Nathaniel, who is Silas' age! They are a lot of fun. :) ...and just so you know, Nathaniel is my little man! He is cute, sweet, and gives me hugs...*sigh* :)

Thursday was another big highlight.

D beach. :)

It was such a beautiful day. Just us, the beach, rain and sunshine, naps in the sand, walking down the beach to a big barge about a mile away, food, sand flies, sun screen, bathing in the ocean, laughing, soaking in the moments, reflection on life, pictures, being basically alone so there wasn't so much immodesty... :)

Plus a few more get-togethers and limes, a lot of laughing, singing, playing All-fours (a card game), reading books, bible study, and sleeping in every day...that's been our holiday so far. Next week is planned to be busy too. :)

I can hardly believe it is almost the new year. Time has gone by so quickly, yet it seems like forever ago that our poor little deer-in-the-headlights family saw the beginning of 2011 in Trinidad...and now we are Trini, and we're getting ready for 2012. <3

Hope every one of you are having a wonderful holiday, and that we are thanking God for each moment that we are blessed to still be here.

Have a happy New Year! Don't stay up too late. ;)
