Oh shucks...I didn't mean to do that. I meant to keep everyone's votes confidential. I hit the wrong thing. Sorry folks. So far...out of the 4 votes....3 of them are no. How did I get stuck with the only Jamaican that does???

I wish I had thought about ordered David Bun and cheese for easter He was really home sick this weekend.

Yeah, Roy dropped that one on me Saturday afternoon.....THANK GOD we found some at the African Grocery near our house. He was complaining to the poor African woman about how expensive it was ($8.50 for a loaf) she almost killed him until I explained that he was not complaining about her prices but more complaining that is was so much more expensive than Jamaica......It was really funny....the white American girl trying to break up the fight between the Jamaican and the African. We were all laughing when everything was explained

The easter bun is very important. Damien brought a large loaf ($8.50) last weekend and it was gone in a few days, way before Easter. So he asked me to go back Saturday and I accidently brought a small loaf($5). Boy, was he upset This is from a man who eat bun & cheese two or three times a year.

I actually look forward to some bun & cheese even tho I eat it through out the year. My mom and sister fried fish from Thurs night (was told it's tradional not to light the stove on Good Friday) and we've been eating fish all weekend. Remind you I'm not a big fish eater but since I've been on my diet I have been eating a lot more then usual. My Grandmother in JA makes the bomb a** fish. I usually bring back from load when I come back and it's usually done in a few days. lol Man, I miss her so much!!!

That's wonderful...congratulations!!

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELVES (YOU, SPOUSE, AND KIDS - IF ANY) ONE YEAR FROM TODAY?

One year from today, by God's grace:

• • Our AOS application will have been transferred to CSC and Henry will have his green card
    

[*]We will have sold my home and purchased one together

• We will be parents of a healthy little girl (or boy if the Lord pleases)
  

• I will be strong and healthy
  

• I will have a viable home business so I can stay home with our little girl after maternity leave runs out
  

Elizabeth????? Did anyone else pick up on this? No one sure said anything....I have been waiting to hear your results, girl!!! Are u preggers? You say your a day late and then not another word..come on now, fess up! Anyhow, congrats on Henry getting work, the hospitals rock for benefits! I have a friend who gets FREE health insurance even, the lucky dog. And glad things are going better healthwise for your family.

Also congrats an good luck to everyone else with all the good news!

Update on Lake, its so funny. He loves garage sales, and we went to one the other day where EVERYTHING was 50 cents. This lady also had this bright purple ladies bicycle for sale for 50 cents as well. So Lake cant resist a bargain, you know. And its a GOOD nice bike, just pretty girly.

He had to have it, so now he is whelling around the neighborhood, this macho looking guy, on a bright purple bicycle. Its just too cute!

Also, he starts a temp job today, at the same place he WAS going to work before, until something better comes along, hopefully. Since its thru the staffing agency, no benefits, but at least its something coming in. He has been SO stressed about not working this last 2 weeks that he has been NO fun to be around at all. We went off for a week to do work up a trailer we have on the river, and he was a pain most of the time, moping around and saying he was bored, even tho we had a lot of work to do, and it was like having a 5 year old around trying to get him to do ANYTHING. He is normally SUCH a hard worker, it was like a different guy took over. So we did NOT have a good time, and I was hopng for it to be a kind of getaway and alone time together before he starts working and we arent able to. He just wasnt able to enjoy it, since he thought he should be home WORKING, even tho I tried to explain we would get him soomething/anything when we got home.

And on the baby, she is back over her birth weight after losing, from being born at 3 lbs 7 oz, down to 3, now two weeks old and she made it back to bw on Saturday! So...she is doing quite well, we are anxious for the 4 lb mark! She is still not sucking on her own tho, so they have to use feeding tube. Things going well tho!

Take care all.

Hello Ladies,

I know it has been Quite some time since i ahve been around, but life has been real busy since Karl arrived. We are getting married this Saturday, and we have 90 people attending, so iI have had som extensive planning to do, and preparation in such a short period of time. But it will all pay off come this weekend!

It has definetly been an experience, living with someone versus the long distance relationship, alot of adapting to our living ways. I wouldn't trade it for the world. We just this weekend went to a show at a local club that had T O K, it was a great show!!! Well I just wanted to stop in and say Hello to all, and hope all is well!!!

OMG - I forgot we were waiting for this news! Yeah, any update Elizabeth????

Hi All,

It's back to school for Anthony and I'm job hunting. I need more money until this VJ journey is over. I want a job that I can basically work from home though and travel on my schedule.
