Two years!
On my first day of work, I was asked if I would stay two years instead of just one. Dave and I talked it over for the last two weeks, and yesterday we said yes! So, we'll be here for two years - more time for everyone to visit us.
One of our conversations about the decision involved what we like best and worst about living here. One of the best things is obviously the beaches and the views. It is really pretty here, and there are so many other islands nearby that we'd love to explore. Among the worst things are the grocery stores (I'll let Dave discuss them since he is in charge of the shopping) and mosquitos. For the most part though, this is a really interesting place to live both geographically and culturally.
The heat right now is on the bad list too, but we've been told that once October hits, the weather will be perfect until the end of next July when it gets hot again. Of course the temperature varies very little throughout the year, but 5 degrees cooler does sound pretty nice. I'm spoiled during the week as I'm in A/C all day. The evenings are great... except when the power is out like Saturday night. Power outages... yet another thing to post about later!
p.s. I'm working on fixing the formatting of this page so that the sidebar shows up on the top again.

BIG Decision!
2 years on a tropical island sounds like an extended honeymoon. :)
It's not Fargo. :)
Mom
wow, how exciting! So, if we don't make it out this spring with a one year old - maybe we'll make it next year with a two year old. I'm having issues with the long flight with the baby - not that it will be any easier when he's two, but I might be more brave by then! You are pretty lucky to spend the first two years of your marriage in heaven! I really hope we get a chance to visit you while you are there.
Jen, you three should totally come visit, so you can see a little more than you saw on your cruise here. Speaking of cruises, a ship is coming in right now... But it might be easier when Camden is super young!
