First, I have to apologize that I have been so crappy at updating my blog lately!! I have had a few more shifts at work, which seems to make the days a lot busier (even though they are just a couple hours). So here goes! I will try my best to update more frequently.
To start off, I would like to thank (this sounds like an Oscar speech), the special people in my life who made my birthday a great one!
-My family with their cute birthday party via webcam (hats and all!) :) Thank you, it was really sweet and special!
-My in-laws, thank you very much for the birthday cards! Martin did a very good job of hiding them from me :)
-My husband Martin, who took the time out of his crazy day to buy me an entire "Orlando Bloom Chocolate Cake" from The Tomato (complete with almond flakes, choc. chips, and coconut). It was very yummy!! Love you very much hubster. Oh, if you are wondering why its called "Orlando Bloom Chocolate Cake", it is because it was one of his favourite things to order at the restaurant when Pirates of the Caribbean was being filmed here.
-The many caring friends who wished me a happy one on facebook! I was really overwhelmed when I signed in and saw all of the messages. Some were even from friends whom I haven't seen or talked to in a very long time!
So thank you again everyone! I feel very loved, which means a lot to me especially being away from home.
So onto some other things that I have done this past week:
-Spouse Games Night was tons of fun! We played a card game (that I totally did not understand at first), and a game called "Celebrity" which was hilarious! I wish I had pictures of us playing it, because there were some moments that should have been captured (especially the impressions of Michael Jackson and Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman"). Basically, we wrote down names of celebrities on a piece of paper and put them into a cup. Each person gets a partner, and the first round you have to pick a name and describe the celebrity to your partner (without saying the name). That person has to guess, and you go back and forth until 1 minute it up. Second round, the same names go into the cup, but you can only say one word to describe the celebrity (so if we used "Pretty Woman" to describe Julie Roberts in the first round, we said "Pretty" to describe her in the second round). Third round, you can't say a word- you have to act it out! Such a fun game.
-We made it to the market this morning, which was good because we were running out of fruits and veggies! (and a lot of recipes call for specific veggies). I was so excited to finally buy a dasheen (a vegetable grown here that almost looks like an elongated coconut).. Oh the small things that excite us here in Dominica! I have a recipe that calls for dasheen, so I am looking forward to making that. Yes...I am actually looking forward to cooking... what??!!! WHO AM I??
So that is basically it, other than I am very sore from going to the gym this past week. I am really trying my best to fit workouts in at least every other day! One of my favourite things to do here is go for a jog, because the scenery cannot be beat (and even getting caught in the rain is kind of fun because its refreshing!)
Peace, love, and happiness,
-Stef
