I am sooo darn proud of my hard working husband. He just wrote his last exams for semester 3 yesterday and I don't think I have seen him smile that much in a LONG time. These last couple weeks he has had been studying sooo very hard and is now in desperate need of a vacation. And it just so happens we leave on one tomorrow. All he wants to do is nothing. I think we can arrange that for a few days but there are other things on the list to do as well. Like scuba, snorkelling, shopping, swimming and suntanning; all the important S's.

I have been keeping busy this week with cleaning, organizing. helping friends pack, and sewing. Nothing too interesting but busy. Last night we went out for dinner to celebrate the boys completion of exams and it was really nice. It is this place on the hiking trail with really delicious food. I think Joel ate a steak the size of half a cow. Today we ran around doing some errands and tonight we are going out to celebrate a few friend's birthdays. Dessert at a beautiful local hotel perched on top of a hill.

Then tomorrow we are packing because we don't leave till 3. I am so excited to have a change of scenery. Also I can't wait to do some window shopping. It is not the same online. I don't know that I will find the time to do any blog writing while I am away so this may be the last one for a couple weeks. So I have a few birthday wishes I want to send out...

Happy Birthday Dad!
Happy Birthday Claire Bear!
Happy Birthday Evan!

Wish I could be there to celebrate with you three! And to everyone else...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
