Coffee Time

So I'm sitting in Jave Joe's with Brittany. We are both supposed to be grading but instead we are working on updating and improving our blogs! :)

This week is going fast. We had school on Monday and then yesterday off. It was a good day off. In the morning about 6 of us went to Forbidden Island for a hike. We hiked down, spend a good hour or so swimming and snorkeling, then hiked some more into the cold water cave. Then we took the good hike straight up. Once we got back home, we showered and went over to another teacher on the island's house for a BBQ. There was probably 30 people there. We were all, mostly, white people and teachers! :) There was food and sports. Most people were watching Monday Night Football when we got there...on a Tuesday afternoon...gotta love the time change!

We spend the evening watching Apocolypto with Mark and Brittany and then off to bed for a school day, after what felt like a Saturday.

At least there are only two more days left this week. Then we have one week left until Thanksgiving Break!!! I still can't believe how time goes so fast here.

This weekend is what Jake and I are looking forward to. For $50 we signed up for the Marriage Encounters weekend. We get to stay at the Saipan Grand Hotel for the whole weekend and eat and swim there all for $50. I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Things aren't much different here. Just working on keeping kids working hard and engaged before another break - which I know all of us teachers here can't wait for! :)

Hope all of you back home are enjoying the lovely cold and snowy weather we've seen and heard you've all been having. Just remember us over here, without any of you, in our nice warm 85 degree weather. ( A picture just to show you again where we live :)

We love you all!!!
Prayers and Blessings,

Love
