Not a resolution!

I'm not making a New Year's Resolution to update my blog everyday because part of my resolutions was to not have something I "had" to do everyday. I mean, taking care of my kids, cooking, cleaning, bathing, is a given.  I really want to spend the rest of my time on the Island enjoying the things I "like" to do and honestly figuring out what it is I like to do. This is starting to sound a little EAT, PRAY, LOVE, soooooo Namaste ;)... What I'm saying is I will do my best to update as often as possible. I'll keep it short and fun! :) 

We had one of our dear friends and driver on the island Kenny move our belongings while we were gone...I got a text message from him while in the states, it read..."OMG...that's a lot of shit...I get why you overpaid me ;)" 

I LOVE our new place. At first we had a few issues with the hot water, kitchen sink, fridge, etc... but now that we are almost all unpacked and settling in it feels more like home than Kootney did. The layout has a hallway that leads to the bedrooms and the bathroom. We also are on the terrace level so we don't get any direct sun on our roof so the place seems to stay a great deal cooler. We also have fabulous air conditioners in the bedrooms that we use at night. We can set them on a temp and the unit kicks on and off quietly to cool the room. It's worth every penny...but actually we're saving a decent amount of money from our last place. We are a 1 min walk to the pool and a 5 min walk to the beach, which is invaluable. We also have a so called "3rd bedroom". I can't imagine anyone actually living in that room but it makes the perfect storage, utility, laundry and twin bed home for us. Pictures to come...I want to wait until we have completely unpacked and organized. 

More to come soon.

Love you all and it was so great to see most all of you over the break. For those of you we didn't get to see please understand our time was so short and a lot more hectic than we imagined with the holidays. We'll be back home in April for Michael & Catey's wedding and hope to see you then...especially you Valerie Brantley, Bethany Hale & Brandon & Shawnee Evans...we miss y'all terribly!!!
