Back in the Same Time Zone!

I'm feeling quite content these days, which yes, can usually be attributed to warm weather and a lack of working, but more so because I have finally let go of my deep rooted anxiety related to major change.  And of course I will still start to sweat a little when major changes are about to take place, and will probably require a (lengthy) adjustment period, but I believe that through a newly acquired faith in the will and plan of God, I finally understand the necessity and wonder involved with these changes.  God has recently pushed me forward in a positive way and has increased my faith more than I have ever experienced before.  And the blessings he has poured out to us on this little Island are nothing less than incredible.  Our God is truly indescribable, full of power and wonder, and full of compassion and blessings.  He is patient when we fall, and encouraging when we persevere.  Basically I am just very joyful of the amazing work that God is doing in the lives of Andee and I.  So in a nutshell... "You can't take my Joy Devil!" - Kirk Franklin 

And now, for your amusement (ok, for my amusement), a collection of photos depicting the last couple weeks of the Real Housewives of St. Kitts!  Enjoy!

One night, as our husbands were all busy studying, we quickly decided to have an impromptu Karaoke Night!  When it comes to karaoke, I have no shame, and so some embarrassingly hilarious songs and dancing were performed!  

On Friday, a few of the girls headed out to Bamboo Lounge for some chatting and dancing!  Mixed drinks are only $5 EC (about $2 US) which is perfect for cheapos like me!

In housewives news, I decided to attempt meatloaf only to discover that we do not own a loaf pan (oh St. Kitts) and so Andee and I had a brilliant idea to make meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting!  They were both cute and delicious!  We enjoyed them so much that I told the other wives, who then made them for their husbands!  The hubby's were certainly eating well this week!

I also decided to make my first ever pie!  (And by I decided, I mean that Andee bought pie filling and pie crust mix and I took the hint)  It was a little interesting due to my lack of skills and our lack of a pie tin, but overall, not too bad!

Worship team has become a weekly occurrence, and so I decided to have Andee take a quick picture of us when it was my turn to host practice!

Recently, thanks to our new friend Catherine, some of the girls have started to learn the art of "crafting".  This week, Catherine (being extremely patient with us newbies) taught us to make a necklace and two flower hair clips!  They are perfect for the Caribbean and are a lot of fun to make!  I'm sure there will be much more crafting to come!

This Friday we celebrated Janae's Birthday in style with some games, cake, dance video games, and dancing at the Blue Martini!  In the words of Catherine: "Last night was fun/crazy/weird!"  Sounds like a good birthday to me!

This Saturday was Sunfest, the UMHS mid-semester beach party at Cockleshell Beach!  Unfortunately, Andee and most of the other Med 2's didn't make it out to the beach due to their looming Genetics Shelf and Final Exams on both Monday and Wednesday.  Not to worry, there were plenty of girls there for me to hang out with!  And Andee and I will be sure to make up our beach time when exams are finished!

Let's start the countdown until our return to Canada!  According to my calender, only 40 days left!  Time sure flies when you are having fun (or studying like a maniac!)

P.S.  Due to Daylight Savings today, we are now in the same time zone as our fellow Canadians!  See you all soon!
