Bdays and goodbyes

There are some things culture cannot come between. We may not have the same convictions, grow up the same or be walking the same path, but culture will never come between the friendship that lies within us.
“A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.” William Shakespeare



Kaden is TWO!!!

Goodbyes just are still the worst. To leave people and this island that I love, hurts. It's when the time comes for goodbye that I wonder why I ever went if it tears me apart so much....but memories are worth it no matter what pain goodbyes bring.
..I'm sure it misses me as much as I miss it!
away.I.went.#depressed#
...but then I saw this amazing promise. someday.sometime.there will be a better day!
I had an entire row of seats to myself. Believe me I took up every single one of them and slept the blues away....or so I tried...until...
 this? no seriously...I could have cried all over again at the sight to what I awoke too.

returning to this was not so much fun either...I guess therein lies the reason to work three jobs. 
Thus concludes the trip. I would do it all over again. Three weeks went far too fast. Oh to be able to just go back again...oh wait...I have to pay off those stack of bills from the last trip first. *living.in.states.=not.fun.spending.*
Really the trip was amazing. It had its ups and downs like everywhere does but it was worth it all the way. Life has a way of teaching us things no matter where we are or go. 

PRAISE GOD...GOODBYES ARE NOT FOREVER!
...and this lil stinker finally arrived after I reach back...sigh!
Kayla ...can't wait to meet you!

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp
