NeW hOMe wEeK 1

Barbados is pretty awesome. I've been super busy helping Darin open the new store here and setting up his office and buying office supplies which if you know me is one of my favorite things to do, buy office stuff and organize. I've had to order flyers, signs, business cards, polo shirts, the whole ordeal. So now it's Saturday and i've been here 1 week and 2 days. This island is full of busy people who work hard and play hard. There's beaches everywhere (including my backyard) and lots of places to eat on the water, which Darin and I love about living on the islands, we love eating with a view :) Our condo in great, it's perfect, I love it! We drive on the left side like we did in Nassau so we're used to that, the drivers aren't as bad here as they were in Nassau, and the cars are nicer. We love it here and continue to enjoy every day and look forward to the weekends when we can venture to unknown territory. Our stuff from Nassau comes on Monday on the boat but I will sadly and happily not be here, i'll be on my way to Orlando!!!! Darin will be all alone for a few weeks because Europe is also in 5 days!!! This is a crazy crazy month but I love it crazy!

BarBaDOs TiME

IT'S ABOUT TIME! We FINALLY heard 1 wk and 2 days ago that Darin's permit got approved and we'd be leaving the following weekend. So the week went on and we never heard anything, i'd packed up some but not everything. We were told twice before we'd be moving shortly, like in days, I would pack and Darin would continue to work and the "days" would go by and we'd still be in Nassau so slowly i'd take something we needed out of a box that's been packed and taped up and soon it was all the boxes opened again. SO, this time, I've learned....I packed some and didn't tape anything closed yet. Last Thursday we found out was leaving Sunday and i'd leave a few days later. Darin left this morning, it was an early dark morning drive to the airport, 4:45am. We packed Darin up last night so he had 2 full suitcases and his surfboard. He's lucky, I have to pack up the kitchen, our bathroom, my clothes, our bedding and everything else that I can't think of right now. Tuesday i'm bringing it all to the shipping place and sending it to our new home.

We are so happy to finally be moving to Barbados, can't wait to experience a whole new island! I'm sure we'll have a great time there, especially Darin with the surfing everyday. I can't take anything for granted and have the guy up above to thank for this amazing life i've been given to live. I'm excited to live in our new condo, on the beach, find all new places to eat and hang out, meet new people and learn how to surf! This will probably be my last post from Nassau, next, Barbados! Thank you to all of our friends that made our time here so much fun!!  We will miss all of you! 

The map below is obviously Barbados. Our first store is in Bridgetown and second is in Oistins, our place is in between both on the south coast!
