The latest and greatest ..

Well, Mini 2 was last Monday and after that we had the beach bash which was tons of fun :) The rest of the week wasn't too intense and Friday night we went to a WHITE PARTY at Sabor, a restaurant at the hotel where Mom and Claudia stayed. There were lots of Rossies there and everyone was all dressed up in white, so we had a great time. Saturday morning, Colby and I had a lazy start. He made me the best french toast I had ever had in my life and we went back to bed! Around 2:30p, I finally made my way to campus and studied late to finish notes for a HUGE lecture series we had last week on Red Blood Cell & Bleeding Disorders. Today, I woke up a little bit early to start studying for Micro and Colby went to the grocery store to grab stuff to make more of his fabulous french toast again and after his workout, we packed up and went to a new beach! It was FANTASTIC :) FORTUNE BEACH PICTURES

I am going to rest for a little, study some more and workout before dinner :)

Matty and his girlfriend, Joelle, are coming to visit us next week from Monday afternoon-Thursday morning before they head to Miami! We are so excited!

Hope all is well!

We're alive.


Hey hey hey -

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are both alive. I have been studying 15+ hours/ day for the last two days and have two more days of hell before I get a breather. Colby is at the beach today with our friends and their friends who are here visiting from Arizona.

Back to studying - the dreaded Mini 2 in on Monday at 1p.

Take care :)

Checking in

Hey everyone..

Once again, its been a while. But the last few days were hectic! Mom got in on Wednesday evening and we went to the airport and picked up her and Claudia. We dropped them off at their hotel (which was super nice) and went to Happy Hour at the fab restaurant at the hotel and then brought them by our place to show them our apartment. We went out to dinner and then let them get some rest since Claudia was up at 2:20a that morning and mom at 3a.

Thursday I had school stuff all day and so at 4p when I was done, we went to the hotel and did Happy Hour again at a bar in Port Lucaya and at a nearby restaurant, the Ferry House. We ended up going to dinner at a little Italian restaurant in Port Lucaya that night (which was mediocre) but worked.

Friday morning I had class until 11a and then Colby and I grabbed Mom and Claudia and we headed out to Garden of the Groves, which was beautiful and peaceful and relaxing. :) We ate lunch at the cafe and then headed back to their hotel and laid by the pool and .. you guessed it .. did Happy Hour again :) We stayed for a while sitting by the pool, talking and enjoying the great weather. Colby and I went home to get cleaned up and then we all headed to Agave, a Latin Fusion restaurant, which was incredible.

Saturday we had a beach day and took the boat shuttle from the hotel to Taino beach and laid out, grabbed lunch and relaxed some more. After a few hours there, we all headed back and Colby and I went shopping for the steak dinner we were making and Mom and Claudia went to explore Port Lucaya in search of some souveniers. Colby BBQ'd some steaks and we just hung out at our apartment for a while.

They left this morning at 7:40a and are now waiting in Miami for their flight to LAX. It was a short, sweet, fabulous trip. I am a little behind now - so this week is going to be hectic! Mini 2 in a week from tomorrow!!

Hope all is well.

Here is a link to some pictures from Garden of the Grove and our boat ride to Taino beach. Enjoy!
