All I Want For Christmas Is To Sleep

So here I am. I know some of you were wondering being that I haven't spoken to many people, including my husband, in the last 3 weeks. It was strange. 4th semester started off so briskly with a few tests here and there but nothing too crazy. Then we went to New York and upon returning was swept into a tornado of craziness. I seriously have been studying until at least 11pm each night since my last post. But now..its over. I made it out alive once again. And now I only have 1 more semester on the island. It sounds too good to be true right now. Not sure it will set in until we are unloading all our stuff and our dog into a New York apt come next April. We can't wait.

Since I last wrote we celebrated Thanksgiving. Not on Thanksgiving of course (b/c there is no such holiday here and I had a test) but the following Saturday. It was wonderful. We shipped a Honey Baked Ham and Turkey and enjoyed every last bite. We had a few friends over who each brought something. I'll attach pics of that night. Besides that, all I've done is study and all Ryan has done is watch me study and count down until our cruise. Oh yes..our cruise. It is finally here. We booked it back in 2006 and now it has arrived with more anticipation then we expected. Very much needed I might add. We leave this Saturday and come back on Dec 23rd. We are stopping in St. Maarten where we have arranged a bus to drive all 20 of us around. It will definitely be a sight. Especially since we will probably be wearing Stam Clan hawaiian shirts (right Allan!). Then we are in Scottsdale until Dec 30 then off to Vegas for New Years. We will be back on the rock Jan 2. This trip is going to be the best...I am so excited about it.

Meanwhile Bentley will be tending to the house and making sure the plants are watered and the lizards are caught! She wanted me to wish everyone a good time this Christmas and let you all know that she expects more people to visit when we live in New York!
