We have been super busy the last few weeks!
First off WE MOVED! We left campus housing and took the plunge to get our own place! We are enjoying it, it is really nice to be closer to the school and closer to the church! Jacob now has a 2 min walk to school and it is about a 10 min walk to church! We were able to find a place close to the main road as well so it is still easy for the kids and I to catch the bus to town! We also love our neighbors! Who wouldn't love having the Elder Missionaries for neighbors! We love Elder Creech and Elder May! Our new place is a lot smaller than the campus housing we were in but we manage just fine! We still have 2 bedrooms but were downsized to only 1 bathroom but it has been fine so far.... I am loving not having to worry about Katelyn crawling on to the kitchen counter or falling through the banister! We also have 2 dogs here at our new place and the puppy has pretty much adopted us, he sleeps on our porch and goes crazy when the kids go outside to play with him, his name is Sam and he is a really good dog but he likes to bite my legs when I am wearing my running shoes, I think its the shoe laces he isn't used to seeing people with strings on there feet!
Our second adventure of moving was of course DRIVING! I was so terrified of driving down here since they drive on the opposite side of the road but it was actually fun, the blinkers and the windshield wipers kind of threw me off for a while but luckily it was raining a little bit so I didn't stand out as bad when I was trying to turn and all of a sudden my wipers were going full blast! Jacob did the downtown driving for me I was too nervous to attempt that myself but he did great, they have a lot of one way streets downtown here and I have been known in the past to go the wrong way on a one way street!
We also have officially hit the end of Jacobs first term of medical school! He took his final exam on Tuesday and is now on a much needed 2 week break! I can't believe how fast time is going by we have almost been here 4 months! Jacob has done exceptionally well in school he really buckles down and does what he needs to do to stay at the top of the class! He is going to enjoy his break because next term is said to be one of the toughest terms of school! He will take his first shelf exam next term! We are also excited to not be the new kids on campus anymore as well, they have a pretty large class coming in for September and we are excited too meet all of the new students!
We love getting news from home as well! Jacobs sister Allynne got engaged 2 weeks ago and we are ecstatic for her and here fiancé Ruben! Allynne has been amazing to us we would really be lost without her! We are excited to meet Ruben when we come home for Christmas and Kohl can't wait to have another uncle to play with! Congrats again Allynne and Ruben! We love you both!
I am currently on the count down as most of you know my parents are coming to visit us!! By this time next week the should be waiting in Huston to board their plane for Trinidad and then its on to us in St. Vincent! I have never wanted a week to go by so fast in all my life! I can't wait for them to get here! Kohl is so excited he can't wait to go to the beach with grandma and grandpa, and Katelyn will just be excited to see them in person the whole Skype and Facetime thing just doesn't make sense to her she still tries to pull the Ipad down and look behind it for them!
Well I posted a few pictures on Facebook a week or so ago but I will repost a few on here for you too! Until next time......
