An Early Christmas Present!

Wow...there really is a Santa Claus!!! Stephen got a phone call from the detailer yesterday, and finalized a possibility that only came to be on Thursday. We are in total shock...we are no longer moving to Puerto Rico... we are heading to Key West instead!!! We are so completely, totally excited...we can't believe it!! We're heading back to Florida and it's fantastic. Not that we had a problem with Puerto Rico, we actually had a lot to look forward to there. Logistically, however, remaining in the continental US is MUCH less complicated. Plus, we can drive to my parents' whenever we want...PR required airplanes and planning and money. This time next year, we can celebrate Christmas in Margaritaville under a green palm tree, in our tanks and flip-flops...the way it was meant to be! ;-)

The detailer wished us all a Merry Christmas, and that it shall be!

HI

Sooooo....welcome to my blog. Just thought I'd make a first post to get it started...LOL. I'm hoping this will come in handy for family and friends to keep in touch with what we're up to.

The kids and I made candles from natural beeswax yesterday...that was pretty cool! The kids seemed pretty enthralled with the process...I don't think they ever thought of someone making candles before. It seems so much comes from stores these days, they don't know anyone makes anything LOL!!! At any rate, we melted the wax on the stove, then dipped the wicks over and over until we had a decent width candle. They loved it. I think we'll even use some to light the bedroom for the birth of the new baby.
