MICHIGAN!!!!!

We finally got word that we are moving to Michigan next month and I don't think we could be anymore excited about it. We have found a place to live, through friends that live there and a very nice landlord, we choose a place. I think it is going to be great. I am so excited to finally be able to experience a winter. It is going to be one extreme to the other, but I think we are going to really enjoy it. Most of our friends are going to be joining us in Michigan so we are really glad about that. We are just excited for this next chapter in our lives to begin.

4th Semester Banquet

Every semester there is a 4th semester banquet. It is a banquet for the 4th semesters to basically say goodbye to island life. At this point we will be leaving some of our friends because some will be going to Miami and some to Michigan. So this is basically a goodbye banquet. This banquet was while the Shadid's were here so it was fun to be able to enjoy this exciting event with them. At the banquet we have a wonderful dinner and they give out awards and show a video slideshow of our time on the Dominica and the Bahamas. After all the awards and stuff was over they had a DJ and we got to dance. It was really a nice night. We had a lot of fun. It was nice to finally be able to dress up for something. Since everything  done here is very casual it was nice to dress up for once.

Shadid's Visit

I haven't blogged in a long time but decided to get a little blogging in because a lot of things have happened lately. I will put them in all different blog posts because I think I have a lot of different topics. Stan, Linda, and Linley came to visit. It was so fun. We hung out at the beach and just enjoyed some family time. It is so nice to have family around. That is one of the biggest things we have missed since moving away from home. There is just nothing like having your family around. The first day they were here we went to the beach and Linley and I went parasailing. It was so much fun. I have always wanted to go parasailing but have never done it and I am so glad that I did. We liked it a lot and I want to go again. We ended up spending a lot of time at the beach and also had a wonderful dinner at East. East is like the best sushi restaurant I have ever been to. Actually I didn't even think I liked sushi until we ate here. We have taken everyone who has come to visit to East because it is our favorite restaurant here. We had a great time together. It was sad to see them leave but that only means we are one step closer to being back in the US. We can't wait!
