Ok...I have not been very good about the updates lately, but in my defense, I have to say that I have been busy getting fat. I don't think I thought about food this much even when I was pregnant! But take away something and you know you're going to want it bad. It only took 3 weeks, but I have successfully checked off all the foods I wanted to eat while in the States...so now it's time to get back to a normal life. Let's start with a long-winded backlog...it'll probably take a few posts...sorry in advance!
The kids decorating Cookies
The last few weeks in St Maarten were very stressful and busy. I was busy Christmas shopping, getting some last-minute time with friends, and preparing the house for a few weeks of emptiness. Daniel was, of course, busy studying. We had somewhat of a fiasco right before finals, to put it mildly (most of our sxm friends will know what i'm talking about). One of Daniel's professor's decided to make life difficult and I think it was the hardest week of Daniel's life. I felt so horrible for him...but it was a life-lesson, for sure. At the very least, it was a crash-course in "Supportive Spouse 101" for me! He made it through finals successfully and in one piece, despite all the drama. My respect for him is at an all-time high! I married a genius pretending to be an airhead :) Finally, we made our long-awaited trip to the good 'ole US of A.
One of the 1st things we did in Atlanta? Cut Daniel and JT's hair!! Why? Well, look for yourself...this is what JT looked like before we left SXM...
Daniel's hair was worse but the pics are just too painful to post, so I'll spare everyone.
In Atlanta, we got busy eating all the food we missed in St Maarten and going to all the places we missed while we were away. We went to every playground near the house, the children's museum, the Georgia Aquarium, Target, bookstores, the mall, Korean bakeries, on and on. If I really wanted to...I could bombard you with about a 1000 pictures but I'm too nice. Here are a few choice pics to sum up our 1st few weeks...
