.. ketchup? ..

alright so i realize that it has been entirely too long since i last posted. lets just say it has been a tad busy. so i will give you a quick 'ketchup' of sorts and then we can start posting fun stuff. 

we went on our cruise to the west indies (south Caribbean) BLAST! we left from san juan puerto rico and visited st. thomas, barbados, st. lucia, st. kitts and st. maarten. so much fun. we got sunburned and tan and mostly just relaxed which is great. i plan on blogging about each day and every island we visited when i get all the pictures put together and edited, hopefully this weekend. we got home on sunday august 14th at like 8pm. we went to bed and life started the next day. we celebrated my brother j* 17th birthday with harry potter and cake and ice cream. i went back to work that same day and worked the whole week. talk about busy. that weekend was crammed with stuff to get ready for the next week where i had surgery to have my rib removed. (to come in another post..) so the weekend was slammed with teaching a lesson, doing laundry, running errands and prep all i could for the following week. 

then last week, i worked 2 days. and on wednesday i went in for surgery and spent the last 7 days trying to recover. needless to say it has been a bit crazy. so i apologize. i promise to make up for it with a series of posts to come about our fun adventures, my gnarly scar and a few birthday parties (yes my birthday was on sunday a mere 4 days after the slice and dice). 

so stay tuned..
