Thursday morning I went snorkeling with nine other spouses. It was so much fun!! When I was 15 I went snorkeling in Hawaii with my family. We took a catamaran to the middle of the ocean and jumped off and snorkeled. I lasted for about 10 minutes – MAYBE. I saw a sting ray and flipped out and went back to the boat – and stayed there. So everytime during the last five months of being on this island, when someone asked me to go snorkeling, without hesitation I said NO!! Well – I finally gave in when Heather called me yesterday. Mainly because since Sarah left I have been bored out of my mind. So bored I even went to class with Justin a couple of times!! I almost chickened out this morning but I went!!

We snorkeled for 2 hours!!! The girls I went with said that we didn’t really see anything and that there are much better places to snorkel on the island. But I thought we saw a lot! We basically just saw a lot of pretty fish – nothing crazy. Well we did see a puffer fish! That was cool! And we saw some zebra fish, pencil (trumpet) fish, and neon blue fish. I think we are going to start going every Thursday – but to different places. Right now I am having to bum snorkel gear off other people – but Mom and Dad are sending some in our next package!!

I leave for Kristens wedding one month from today! Im so excited! Mom and I are throwing her bridal luncheon with two of her aunts. I will be getting there the Tuesday before the wedding so I will get to spend more time with Kristen and her family and the other bridesmaids. ALSO I have to get my dress fitted in three days!! Maybe it will fit? Yeah right – bridesmaids dresses never fit perfect.

THEN I will be going back to Fort Smith and will be leaving to go back to Dominica around the 14th of July. Mom and I hope to take a little road trip to go see some family. I hope it works out!! The timing that I will be gone will be so perfect. It will be the three weeks before Mini 2 and I will get home the day after its over. It was really a God thing how everything has worked out so far!

Also - the above picture has nothing to do with this post. Just a cute picture of Ellie in the river behind our house!!
