bitter sweet

we will be home in the land of the free 7 short weeks from today - crazy!!!! i think the best description for how we feel about the whole move and next step in our lives is bitter sweet. there is a lot about statia that we are going to miss, and there is also A LOT about home that we are so super duper excited about! so……here is a blog with some of the bitter and some of the sweet :)



first……we will miss our little gecko friends. they are everywhere here, in and out of the house, and we love the little ones especially. the one that jumped on my head, not so much, but we love our statia geckos! we also will never be able to get enough of the caribbean sunsets we enjoy right out our back door. so fun to sit out there with our boys and watch the sun go down on another day on statia!

the beach. i might mention that again one day, but we are really really really going to miss this place!

little crabbie friends. the big ones are a little scary, but the little ones are so cute, and we will miss searching for these little guys on our walks at crooks :)

now, onto what we're excited to get home to. FAMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there are a lot of little things about life back home that we miss here and that we can't wait to get back to, but the first and foremost (besides golfing for dust!) is family. we miss our families so much and can't wait to be back for sunday dinners and birthday celebration and christmas traditions and everyday life with the people we love the most!

 

 

and now that i've mentioned family, i can move on to chicken!!!!! i miss chicken sooooo much and can't wait to get back to everything that costco has to offer but especially the chicken!!! haha the things we learn to appreciate :)

so, the first of many bitter sweet posts to come! the next 7 weeks are going to fly by i'm sure, but we are making our countdown chain this weekend - 48 days and counting!!!! love love love this place but CAN'T WAIT to get HOME!!!!
