I got to swim with sharks today and it was fucking awesome. I am pretty sure this is the coolest thing I have ever done and I am pretty sure I will be hard pressed to top it.

How Much Family Is Too Much Family?
asks the woman who is on vacation with her entire immediate family–sans dad and stepmom. It’s great but it is also very stressful–we have a lot of strong personalities.
SCUBA!!!!!!!!!!! I love scuba. I am one dive away from being a certified open water diver and I cannot wait. I have been down on three dives and have mastered all of my necessary skills. It’s awesome and I love it. I haven’t taken any pictures yet–as I didn’t want to take my camera while I was working on skills. I will be taking it Thursday afternoon on the shark dive–which will serve as my final certification dive. I am so excited. I will post pics of that.
Off for more family fun time. St. Maarten is gorgeous. You all should come here.
I Love The Ocean
We arrived in St. Maarten yesterday and I have to say the my children could not possibly travel better. No one cried on either flight–a two-hour flight and a 4-hour flight. I couldn’t believe how well they did.
The house we have rented is amazing and we have an awesome breath-taking….
“J saw some wild dogs…Curt and I call them goats”
Just wanted to memorialize the above comment. I have to say traveling with my family is pretty hilarious. We are the kind of siblings that really get immense joy out of ridiculing each other. It’s very fun and makes for a lot of laughing and good times.
Noah has some weird bumps on his face. I don’t know what the hell they are. The popped up yesterday and look like small hives. But then they dissappeared and then popped back up.
Anyway this post has totally gotten side-tracked. But, we are having fun and I’ll post more later.
Just wanted to say–I love the ocean.
Do You Really Need All Your Toes?
In this mad dash to get everything done so our bathroom remodel goes well, I dropped a box of 11 big stone tiles on the tip of my big toe. In the middle of Lowe’s, while mulit-tasking and talking on the phone, I screamed a low gutteral “fuck” and looked down to see my toe gushing blood as I imagine my jugular might if cut with a Samari sword. Okay well maybe not that bad, but it was pretty bad. All I had to manage the blood with was a couple of baby wipes. Mind you my hand were so dirty from handling all the tile and grout. It was not one of my prettiest moments.
My toe is sore, a little black and still bleeding a little–especially when Noah wants to see my “owie” and pushes on it. He thinks he is making it better.
The timeline train is moving so fast and I still have a billion things to finish–like study for my Stats test tomorrow and finish my EOR newsletter and pack and do laundry, and and and…the list really is neverending.
I will be blogging from St. Maarten. I have decided to take my computer with me. I will want to down load pics, etc. I know i will take way more than my card holds.
