Chris's Birthday!

Chris's birthday was a couple of weeks ago and we had a great birthday celebration. He turned the big 25. We went to our favorite restaurant here called East. It is a sushi restaurant that is outstanding. We went with about 15 of our friends. It was a great day to celebrate Christopher. After we ate dinner everyone came over and ate cake. I will say it was a little better than his last birthday we had in Dominica. I mean not that Blue Bay wasn't fun but this was a little more our style. 


Things are moving right along here in the Bahamas. Before we know we will be back in the US. We should be applying for 5th semester (Michigan or Miami) in a week but we won't know for sure where we are going until about the first of July. We are excited to see where our adventure takes us next. Chris's next exam is next week so please be praying that he is well prepared.

Back in the Bahamas

After a great break at home we are back in the Bahamas in full swing. Christopher has had one full week of class and they are getting to it. There is no time to waste. 

While we were at home we just enjoyed hanging out with our families and seeing all of our friends. We went to the Lion King with my parents. Which was absolutely awesome. The costumes were outstanding and the music was great. We had a great time. Christopher played plenty of golf while I got to get some work in at my grandpa's office. It was nice for me to get my brain working again. In the little time we had to relax we packed up all of our wedding stuff in boxes in preparation of moving somewhere where we can actually use it all. Yay! We can't wait. 

With Christopher's last semester of book work we are looking forward to moving back to the States while enjoying the little time we have left living on an island. We will be applying for Christopher's 5th semester location in June. 5th semester consists of an introduction to clinicals, and allows some time for Christopher to study for the USMLE Step 1. We are hoping to apply for Michigan but who knows we could end up back in Miami again. We are just hoping that wherever we go Christopher will have plenty of time to study for the Step. Because his goal is to take Step 1 by the middle of October. In the mean time I am looking forward to moving back and getting a puppy. Yes, still looking forward to getting a puppy I know its been like forever but hopefully once we get back to the States we will find the right time to get one. 

The Bahamas are great. It is really hot here but with the wind of Oklahoma, which makes it a lot cooler. Christopher's birthday is on Monday and we are really excited because for his birthday we are going to go Deep Sea Fishing. We are hoping to catch some really great fish like Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and any many others. We can not believe that we have been out of the country for a year. It has been full of adventures and excitement and has made us both stronger people. Who would have thought that a year would have gone by so fast.
