Little Bitty

It's alright to be little bitty....little house....
We're just living on love.
One bedroom apartment took on a whole new meaning.
bedroom...being the main room. Curtains are not good sound barriers for this early bird who likes to go and jog when it is dark and come back and start the wash, put the wares away and other things. Any sort of noise from the kitchen can be disturbing to those sleeping. Thus...I should maybe learn to go back to bed and start my day two hours later!..maybe.
But I like our lil house.It works for the time...and when we move it'll seem like a mansion!



It's big enough to cook food in. After all that is what matters right?

I just love living off fresh fruit. Fruit punch made every day...well not quite!

It is fun cooking for someone that enjoys eating!

What has life consisted of since almost a month of marriage has gone already? Lots...I haven't hardly had a minute to be bored.
 I substituted at school 3x last week...two different schools.
It felt good and pretty normal to be back in the classroom again.

 My husband and I agreed to babysit 12 kids so some family and friends could go out for supper. Before the babysitting came to be we had 7 more that needed a babysitter as well. Yes that's right...19 kids- 12 and under.
We survived. I guess they did too...I have since decided maybe I will hold off on the want of twins. 
here's about half of them patiently awaiting supper!

I've been trying to branch out and try some Grenadian cooking.
Here's my seasoning chicken adventure. I must admit...it tasted "real nice."


Instead of waiting for my sis-in-law and mother-in-law I jogged the direction of market and got their early early. It was just lovely... lots of bananas and fruit to get without having to wait and fight over it. I believe Wednesdays will find me jogging that direction more often!

and then the beautiful sunset

Most every evening Brenda, Jaxson and I go walking while the husbands play football.

 Yes I was lucky enough to capture my man scoring!

That's your little bitty peek into our lives.

    Love the peek into your life. The whole holding off on wanting twins made me laugh. :) babysitting can be exhausting no matter how old they are!

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

Image
..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...

of police and goodbyes

Image
It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
