Electricity

Have you ever felt abused by the electricity company? This month we felt a gash in our sides (and our wallets) when we received our bill. Let me preface this story with the fact that we only run 1 AC, which is in our bedroom, from approx. 5pm-6:30am. We are good about keeping lights off, and we run our fans throughout the house always (if we didn't we would be nothing more than piles of sticky sweat on the tile floor). Well our bill was $400 this month. I can barely type the total I am so flabbergasted. How can this be possible you ask? I wish I knew. It's unbelievable how one month it is $150 then it doubles and now this. I can't wait until "winter". So the next time you receive an expensive bill..remember us. We are surely paying more than you and are not half as cool as you in your central AC home! Ok I'm done ranting. As my dad would say "it is what it is".

Our friends Gina and Max came in on a Royal Caribbean cruise yesterday. We picked them up and took them to lunch, to see my school, and then back to our house. It was so fun seeing them and hearing about cruise life. We get so excited when new people come to the island. It makes us appreciate the paradise we live in. Despite how expensive it can be!

This weekend I am studying for pathology. Our test isn't for 2 more weeks, but its 8 weeks worth of information! I figured I'd get started. Oh and we have started a Friday tradition at Mullet Beach. Ryan plays on a v-ball team and Allison and I play paddleball. We have so much fun. Bentley usually comes and plays in the water. She is becoming quite the swimmer! Alright well I better stop writing..Ry says not to get too over zealous about my comeback to the blog. I shouldn't get everybody's hopes up that I will write every week. Which is true...but I'm trying!
