Wordy Post...

Hi y'all...

Just wanted to catch you up on our Island life.  Our ability to upload photos has left the island, so I'm back to drawing you pictures with my words... sorry!  We're keeping our fingers crossed for higher speed internet to make it out to the housing quarters before too long, so hopefully I can upload more photos in the future.  Until then, it'll just be sporadic one or two photos, here and there as I find patience to upload.

Peter has spent the last month a very sick boy.  It started with a sinus infection, which moved into his lungs and turned into Bronchitis.  The Dr. on island put him on antibiotics for the sinus infection, but it was too far along and the meds didn't touch it, so after a week of sinus infection medications he had to switch to another 10 days of different meds to kick the Bronchitis.  He finished those on Sunday and seems to be on the mend.  We know how easily Bronchitis relapses though so he's taking it pretty easy.

Anyhow, that explains why I haven't been posting much!  We haven't been doing a whole lot for the past month except sleeping whenever possible and trying to get Peter better.  I've been diving mid-week, one or two times per week with a group of ladies who are also island fluff.  It's a nice way to get to know some of the shore dives that we are able to do, and I'm excited for when Peter will be able to dive again so we can explore together.  His Dr. told him no diving for the past three weeks... although he's hoping to be able to go this coming weekend.  :-)

We snorkeled quite a bit last weekend and went kayaking yesterday.  I'm continually amazed by the number of folks here that don't take advantage of the many things there are to do on the island!!  Especially snorkeling.  There's so much to see beneath the water surface, and it's practically free to do!  Anyhow, off my soapbox.  :-)

We're REALLY looking forward to our October company coming and are super excited because we just found out some more friends are coming in late-December/early-January!!  Yahoo!

I best let this be and get my day started!  Hope this finds you all doing splendidly!
