Hey Chrissy

[Guest guest]

Chrissy,

We went to the same place, different resort, though, as this past

May. It was absolutely gorgeous and the villa we stayed in was so

beautifully furnished and comfortable that Bob said " I could LIVE

here in a heartbeat " . It had 2 bedrooms and was right on the beach,

if you spit far enough it would land in the water!! The only

disappointments were that Austin had a sunburn on his face, and

couldn't wear his snorkeling mask the day we hired a catamaran for

an all day, fishing, snorkeling and beach barb-b-que sailing trip.

Because of his Eurasian coloring, you can't tell when he's burned,

and he hadn't noticed it himself until he tried to put on the mask.

I felt so sorry for him because the underwater fish life was

fantastic. We got some great photos of Bob swimming with the nurse

sharks....but I stayed up on the boat for that adventure! No sharks

for me....lol! The next day Austin and I planned to go para-sailing

while Bob fished with a pilot friend of his who lives in San Pedro,

and the only boat on the island that does the para-sailing trips had

mechanical problems and wasn't for hire! All together it was a

restful and delightful week, with no phones, computer or outside

world to think about. The resort was all beachfront with a huge

pool, too, so we all came back well tanned and rested.

Austin starts school Tuesday, the 9th....much too soon! will

be coming home for 6 days before their AEF deployment that leaves in

September from San . He'll be here for his birthday, so I

need to get back up to ton sometime in the next week or two

to pick up that antique wall clock I bought him that's up there in N.

ton being repaired. If I remember correctly, the shop is only

open for customers on Mondays, so I plan to drive up early so I have

the whole day free in Chs., and return to Bluffton late in the day.

If you can arrange it, we could " do lunch " like we did before, so

that you'd be on time to pick up your kids after school. How's that

sound?

I read about your career plans and think you would be wonderfully

suited to be a CDNE. The one I have now is my Endo's wife, and

she's okay, but not nearly as knowledgeable as I know you are and

doesn't have half the personality that you do, either! And if you

could work with the ICT patients, it would be ideal with your

background. I'm sure that you could learn what you need to in order

to take the exam, etc., without much difficulty. I imagine the pay

is probably pretty good, too.

Let me know how that goes, and also expect a call about the lunch

date. I have to call the clock shop Monday, and will know more

then about my future schedule, okay?

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
