So...here we are ready for another blog update! its only been 3+ months!!
After my parents left St. Vincent it took us a week or so for us to get back into the swing of things, we got back to our somewhat regular routine and planned at lot beach days and oh ya getting ready to leave for UTAH!
We had pretty much made the decision that the kids and I were going to be returning to Utah for Jacobs sister Allynne's wedding the beginning of November. We had to wait out Jacobs school schedule to see if he was going to be able to come with us. In order to make the weeks we had go by fast we intended to spend as much time at the beach as we could....well the lovely unpredictable Caribbean weather rained on our parade....literally buckets and buckets for 6 weeks almost every day we had rain Kohl was so unhappy he wanted to go snorkeling before we left to come back to Utah, which was really sad for Jacob and I as well cause he finally had something he WANTED to do in St. Vincent and he couldn't go!
Well we got the word that Jacob was going to have a test week the week following Allynne's wedding so we knew there was no way he could miss 3 days of school leading up to a test...so my fate was sealed! I was going to be making the trip ALONE with the 2 babes. I was terrified! If you haven't read my blog post about flying to St.Vincent now would be a good time to do that so you can more fully understand just exactly how I feel about flying!
We continued to pass the days with activities in the house and I think we did manage to make it to the pool one time before we were supposed to leave but we got poured on so we were only there about a hour. Hey we made it to water before we left though!!
Packing.....Packing oh for the love I HATE packing I would rather have a root canal done through my left nostril on the right side of my mouth than pack! You getting a clear picture here?? Okay just thought I should check! Packing with kids is like wiping before you poop....totally unproductive! I put something in the bag and they pull it out, I put something else in and walk into the other room and when I come back all the clothes are out and Kohl has zipped Kate up in the suitcase....LOL I love my crazy life! I was able to finally get us all packed up to go i just finally waited for everyone to go to bed!
Well the day of our scheduled flight was here and we were super excited to get going but i was begining to realize what i was about to do with just my self and the two kids......but i will save the rest of this story for another post!
Until next time.....
Good morning how are you?
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
For all this I would ask you one small favor:
Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Saint Vincent and Grenadines? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Saint Vincent and Grenadines in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
Emilio Fernandez Esteban
Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
28902 Getafe (Madrid)
Spain
If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.
Yours Sincerely
Emilio Fernandez
