Did You Ever Think You’d End Up Here?

  February 18

Two nights ago, I was sitting around a campfire with friends on the beach here in Grenada. We were having a great time celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday. In a moment of quiet reflection that tends to happen around campfires, we asked each other, “Did you ever think you’d end up here?” I mean, there … Continued

The Most Expensive Day I’ve Ever Had

  January 3

Over the Christmas break, I had a bit of an epic day. I have never incurred so many expenses in one day in all my life. Let’s start at 7:00AM. 7:00 A.M. At 7 A.M. the morning after we flew in from Grenada, the hubs went to the dentist to get 3 cavities filled. I … Continued

  October 25

Call me crazy (call me maybe?), but I almost got “used to” living on this Caribbean island. We go to work and school and make dinner like other couples, except we happen to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I hate to say it, but there have been times where … Continued

A Day In The Life: 2012 Updated Version

  September 26

Don’t you just love reading about what other people do every day? Or… maybe it’s just me? Anyway, I recently read a “Day In The Life” post by a fellow blogger, and it struck me that I haven’t written one of these posts in a while. Sure, it’s a little self serving, but I really … Continued
