Sorry Jax - I was tired last night. Damien knows your HUSBAND!! It took me awhile to say the "H" word :lol: I love saying it now.

It's hard for me to say hubby to since he is not here :crying: . :P:D I will have to ask Dwain if he knew a Damien is his neighboorhood. He still lives on the same street.

Ladies enjoy the rest of your Sunday :D

It's Sunday family lunch day so I am off to share my pics with my family and to get theres to on my lap top.

Stay cool.. I am just loving the weather here in Northern IL its so cool compared to JA in August.

Sining I'm loving it!!!! :whistle:

Sbys- Hey I thought your little bundle of joy would be born before I got back. If your little one doesn't come soon are they going to induce you? Stay strong it has to be anytime now enjoy your life being silent right now before your little one will be waking up every few hours. :star:

I thought he would be here by now too - but no such luck. I'm being induced tomorrow - I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am. This is my last day before I become a mommy... so strange :blush:

Best wishes tomorrow on your special day. All the best on labor and may your little bunddle be your pride and joy. All the best :thumbs:

Shemonya-You and the family are in my prayers...hope everything works out (F)(L)

Julie-Good luck tomorrow....hope you and baby do very well!!! :innocent:

Jill- So glad Lake's job is going well.......I think I would wait and tell the employer when the time is closer. Since he did not mention it to them before he started, I would wait and let them see how good an employee he is and then ask for he time off in early November......just my two cents.....

I thought he would be here by now too - but no such luck. I'm being induced tomorrow - I have to be at the hospital at 7:30am. This is my last day before I become a mommy... so strange :blush:

'bout time for the little guy to come out :yes::D

He will need a lot of help from the tooth fairy to pay off the rent he owes Julie! :lol:

We can't wait to meet you little man!! See you Monday!! :dance:

Elizabeth- Hi you were so right Carolyn Barrett was great I can't thank you enough for recomending a great wedding corrdinator. I think we spent to much money but this only happens one time in our lives. Carolyn made sure that my Jamaican cater didn't over charge me. I wish I would of went with her caterying service. Ours stunk warning never go with Miss Ann's catering in Montego Bay by Jarrett park horriable nothing was right. Okay one dish curried goat. Lets say Dwain was so upset. She had this wonderful French Photographer for us and Videographer. He was suppose to do video only but he did some pics and made a fab musical slide show. Thumbs up To Mrs. Barrett :thumbs:

You are so welcome! I am glad everything worked out well! I love Carolyn so much. She is the best! Did she tell you about her boat. She has a boat - you and Duane can charter a lil getaway ride after your interview before he leaves JA. I am blocked from looking at teh Yahoo groups from home, so I have to wait till tomorrow to see your pictures! :crying::crying:

Anyone have any opinions on the question I asked last, about whether you would let your supe know now about coming Christmas leave?

Well, he finished his first week of work, I think he likes it pretty well. He is a bit grumpy when he works tho, I am glad he had so much "adjustment" time before he started working. Frankly I am not real sure he would have been ready, he COULD have done it, but he boy he has learned a lot this last year, and I think perhaps the older you are, the harder it probably is on a person adjusting.

I am surprised at how many of you took your spouses to water parks. I mentioned it several times, but Lake is afraid he will catch a cold, pneumonia, etc. He says a hot day and cold water do NOT mix! I am incredulous, it even bothers him when he washes the car, he tries to be SOOOO careful not to get wet, even on those 100 degree days we had! I dont get it? He thinks drinking cold water gives him a sore throat too. :lol: He sure has some weird ideas!

Congrats to Lake for week one! I can't believe Henry is heading into month 5. I love it when he tells people he has a "good job" and he means it!! Last week he worked in the morgue. (need scary icon) :dead:

About telling the supe, I would wait and try to let it coincide with winter break - don't the schools close for a bit???

Dont feel bad - Henry hates water parks.

What's everyone doing for the weekend?

A whole lot of nothing for me.

You take advantage of that "nothing" time. Before you know it Elias will be occupying all of your free time :luv:

Also thinking of Myisha(Ricardoswife)due in September, and Kimone2004 interviewing for AOS on 8/23 and also due with the twins around the same time :o .

Have a good weekend everyone!

I forgot Myisha was due in September - she was only a month off from me, maybe she will go early and me late and we'll have a Yardie baby boom :lol: And where is Kimone???? How are you both doing Kimone and Myisha?!! We need baby updates :D

Sorry, no baby updates here....I'm still pregnant. We are hoping to make our AOS interview on Wednesday without me going into labor. The twins are doing fine, but I am tired of being pregnant. Hopefully, he will induce toward the end of the week. I am 5 centimeters dialted but have been for 3 weeks now.

Okay I have download 6 photo books on yahoo on our wedding week trip if you want to look at the please PM me your email addresses please. Oh boy I can't believe I am back to work tomorrow hmmm going to be very busy I haven't been in to set up my classroom and get my 24 class list for seating charts looks like its busy time. I like being busy but can't talk to my hubby now as often since he works nights :crying: . At least I found a used computer and he now has Instant Messagner to keep in contact a lot cheaper.

Hey are I-129F's going faster now? Just wondering for the K3?? I see its get back to normal it wasn't before because of RFE. Hopefully I will get the reciept in 2 weeks from I-130 application being sent from NE to CA.

Any one know of some reasonable all inclusive resorts or hotels ect in Mobay? I have some friends who are going for christmas, they were asking for recommendations.

Thanks Dee.

What price range are they looking for? Are they couples have children?

I went to the Wyndam Rose Hall on my trip it was nice. I have been to Holiday Inn to see my hubby play liked it. I have also been to Sandals Royal and Sandals Montego Bay they are also very nice. Sandals Montego Bay is for the younger party crowd. Sandals Royal is more for a little older crowd a little quiter since its not by the airport.

Jax

How many friends are going? The Villa was cheaper for us than a hotel and it was nice to have our own pool and driver. I know Dwain will know more on this than me since he works at all the hotels in the area.

Elizabeth- Hi you were so right Carolyn Barrett was great I can't thank you enough for recomending a great wedding corrdinator. I think we spent to much money but this only happens one time in our lives. Carolyn made sure that my Jamaican cater didn't over charge me. I wish I would of went with her caterying service.

I am blocked from looking at teh Yahoo groups from home, so I have to wait till tomorrow to see your pictures! :crying::crying:

She told me all about her boat and all her stories. Is the boat near Kingston? I don't know if Dwain would want to do that. He isn't happy he has to go to Kingston in the first place and that I have to go with. I think when we get approved we will be flying to Kingston also. Did you ever ride in her boat? It looks scary to me and I get sea sick. I might toss my cookies up everywhere. Did u do any of her exursions? It sounds like she loves the rough outback excursions. Hope all is great back at home with you Elizabeth. PM me your email and I will send my photo books to you to view. :thumbs:

Dee, I've stayed at both the Holiday Inn and Sunset Beach. My preference is the Holiday Inn. The entertainment is better. However I would check online to see availablity for Christmans now, and you can get an idea of which are in their price range.

Julie best wishes today! (L)(F)
