The latest and greatest!!!

We've had a great few weeks!  Ben is back in school and going strong for the fifth and FINAL Semester here on St. Maarten!!! YIPPEE!!  We've only got 3 more months here!  Plus in about a month we will be having our little Kimber!  I'm sure the time is going to fly by!  


This past Saturday we had the Spouses Club Welcome Breakfast!  It is mainly for the 1st semester girls to get to meet everyone and everyone to meet them.  But, it is also a way of keeping track of the time here.  It was weird to already be one of the 5th semester spouses.  This is the group shot of the Spouses  who could make it! It was fun to see everyone! 
The above picture is me with a great friend, Natalie!  She has a boy, Jack, who is Holdyn's age and I just love her to pieces!!!



Here I am with Rachel. She is the best!  She was my diligent walking buddy until a month or so ago when I had to "take it easy."  She has been soo much help with pretty much everything!  When we would walk through the ongoing construction, the guys we passed thought we were sisters.  That's a compliment for me but I felt bad for her :)  Anyway, when I saw this picture I saw that we really do have a lot of "sisterly" similarities!
I also had a GREAT Birthday! Here are some of our friends that came over!  (L to R Cody, Rachel, Tom, Laura, and baby Ella) We had about 20 people over for a swim/Navajo Taco/Birthday party.  It was fun to see everyone!  Thanks Ben for all you did!!  I had a great Birthday!!

Here are Holdyn's two favorite neighbor friends....McKenzie and Sydney.  They are GREAT with her and I really appreciate all of their help babysitting!!!  This is also at the B-day party.
Here is one last shot of some friends at the b-day party, Natalie and Jack and Kim!  Thanks for coming gals!!!

WOW! go Jill in the final month, go ben in the final semester!! Woohoo, exciting! So, I think your hair looks way cute (can't tell it's uneven-) and SORRY about the hotness, I remember you telling me that you slept in Flagstaff with the windows open in the winter...that sounded SO good to me when I was 8 mo. pregnant, and I bet it sounds heavenly to you too right now. Hang in there. Get frozen peas and put them under all your clothes. OH...the heat at the end was one of the hardest things for me, I FEEL for ya girl! Good luck!
