I did it. I signed my life away. To a diving instructor. Two full, packed days of learning how to SCUBA Dive. I am sooooo excited. Only two weeks away. This is on my life's TO DO list, and I tell you what, there is nothing more invigorating than being able to cross something off your life's list. I add to this list daily or maybe just as I am doing something. For example, last night when I went swimming in the ocean at 1:30 in the morning, floating in the Caribbean Sea looking up at the stars. That has to be bucket list worthy I think.
Today was pretty interesting. I went with the family today to the beach. Jade's mom swam in the Mile Swim where there were almost 800 people swimming. Pretty funny to hear a horn blow and watch almost 800 people start swimming. I kind of wish I had done it because afterward they handed out prizes that were pretty cool. Like trips to Grand Cayman's sister island, Cayman Brach, Rio de Janeiro, L.A., London and lots of other stuff. Maybe next time, lol. Speaking of which, I am thinking about the possibility of my moving down here sometime after I graduate. I am loving this place more and more. For how small it is - about 55,000 people- it seems a lot bigger. There is always something to do, always new and interesting people to meet. And the attitude is laid back. There are no shopping malls which takes the pressure off to meet a certain standard of fashion. The media is not as prevelant here either. No one really cares. I've heard the workplace is laid back as well. So anyway, we will see what happens. My life in the last four years has no where near come close to what I had planned or thought it would be. So I just give up thinking about it and take what comes along. Obviously God had a better idea anyway. Cayman Islands was a great idea God, thanks.
I've been doing AWESOME at my workouts. I've started waking up in the mornings to run two miles at 630. It's a real accomplishment for me - for someone who hates running and waking up early. Then I get another workout when Jade and I go for a walk. Then most nights I bike to the gym and lift. Hopefully sharing all of this will keep me accountable to keep it up :)
I'm thinking about writing out my recipes that I've used since I've been here. I know of a couple people that would be interested. Yummy, easy, healthy recipes soon to come! Stay tuned....
;)
Sweeeet...who thought you'd accomplish so many things on your list in such a short time? Good for you. Way to go on the workouts and keep it up! Just promise me you won't turn into a female body builder. Please. And sign me up for a copy of your Cayman Island Experience Cookbook.
