Just a little "filler" post.....the last week has been super crazy at work, with everyone coming and going I go to the airport at least twice daily! I've been training a new girl at work, and we have construction going on in the back, and money flying out the window I have to keep track of!! We haven't really had time to do anything. Grocery shopping was put off for 5 days and we got down to almost nothing in the fridge, laundry is piled so high it will take 2 days to finish, the house is a wreck because we're not home for more than 10mins at a time, and the landlord is showing our place today so i'm working a sweat.

Also, Tera came in town Friday. Had a great time, at good food, and took the boat out to snorkel and lay out on a really pretty Sunday! Tera left this morning and this afternoon Alan comes in! Thursday we're off to Exuma on Matt's boat for a 4 day boat trip. Going to Staniel Cay and Compass Cay, it's where they have nurse sharks you can swim with, pigs that swim and the famous Thunderball Gratto (swim through rocks for snorkelers) where 007 was filmed in 1965!! Exuma has some of the most beautiful waters in the Bahamas. We're so happy to be FINALLY doing this, we've wanted to see more of the Bahamas ever since we started living here. I love getting to experience this kind of stuff, it's what loving life is all about.....YOLO!!

Here's a video on Youtube of what we'll be doing this weekend, ENJOY!!

Well not yet....but we did SIGN OUR LEASE!!!! And OMG is it awesome! You'll all want to visit us as soon as possible too! When Darin and I were in Barbados a few weeks ago we looked at a few places that we liked and pretty much fell in love with all 3 of them. 1 was out of our price range, and 2 we told our realtor to start putting our bid in. By the time the day was over one of the 2 we liked was taken! So we were down to our last love. We got the ok about our price and everything approved and signed the lease! Darin and I are quite the excited little kids over here, it's fun to see Darin so excited about a place to live, usually it's the girl who's more excited. Although we don't move until the middle or end of March, we're just glad we got something that we love! Take a peek....

THIS WEEK in our life......we got to visit Barbados for a week. Originally Darin was going to get the shop demolition started and interview some people, but it ended up that I got to join!! I was asked to do a comprehensive demographic report for the investors and directors of the company while I was there. At first I had absolutely NO clue what that meant, but with the help of some special people in my life, lol, I think i've slowly figured it out. You'd be surprised how much I know about this island now that I probably would of never known. It's kind of like my homework with a professional report attached. I have a feeling i'll go above and beyond my duties, but it's just because i'm not sure what to put in it so i'll just put in everything. I'm sure that's not all you want to hear about sooooo......i'll talk about the island. Barbados is pretty awesome. The structure and roads remind me a lot of Nassau, not so "pretty" but lots of older buildings they're trying to preserve, roads that are super narrow from the "horse" days and almost like poverty next to the rich. All of that i'm used to so I don't mind it at all. Barbados though, has LOTS of beach access, plenty of bars and restaurants on the water and on the beach, plenty of world class surf spots, tons of people our age and so much to do at night! Everyone we met says "trust me, you'll fall in love living here", I can't help but be so excited about this place. I have a lot to learn, with the health system and having kids, as well as the school systems here, but i've heard it's not at all bad and the schools here are really great!! Darin and I have looked at a few places to live and we love all 3, but the 3rd is WAY out of our price range, even though i'd love to have a pool on my second floor which is also the roof top of the building, UGH!!! So the first two will be just fine if we can negotiate the right price (which I think we will). We're stayed in a few places one was our realtor's guest house, which is PERRRRFECT! It's right on the beach, with a hammock, and the waves to listen to, the breeze, a bar just a short walk down the beach, just the best little set up. I can't wait to be there and live there and have all of our stuff in one place, FINALLY!! The flight wasn't bad, 3 hrs from Miami, where Darin's last trip was 3hrs 45mins. It went by pretty fast, especially since there was an in flight movie and a tv show after.  COME VISIT!!! I'll post some more when I get home, until then.....enjoy the pics as usual!!

Oh yea, and don't be jealous that sea rocks can spell our name and not yours, ours is just that awesome!!
