I have officially been on the island for one month. In that month I have done a ton. However, I think out of the 30 days or so that I have been here, I have had one night out with my husband.

So, finally after a long 30 days of patiently waiting (no really, I have learned to be all ninja-like when Dave is home so that he can study peacefully....a huge task for me lol), a very stressful two weeks of studying for Dave and many nights going to bed before Dave, and him leaving before I am even awake, exams were finally over and we had a glorious weekend together!
I had a huge list of plans and activities, but since my husband works so hard he got the final say this weekend....no hikes, no renting kayaks, no touring every beach on the island (ok, so my plans were a little crazy) all my hard working husband wanted to do was spend time together relaxing, and working on our tans!
Friday, promptly after finishing his micro biology exam, we gathered our essentials (Sunscreen, towels, and bought cold drinks from IGA) and headed to Grand Anse Beach. You could tell exams had finished as almost all of the other fourth term students had the same idea as Dave: spend every moment possible at the beach!
After spending the afternoon laying out with friends, we headed to our anniversary dinner.
Our five year wedding anniversary was on August 18th (where has fiver years gone??), but unfortunately I was still working away in Canada. So, our five year wedding anniversary was celebrated this weekend!! We went to a restaurant here that we have heard so much about and were not disappointed, it was phenomenal!

| My handsome, tanned, husband!!! |
 |
| Such a beautiful restaurant and a great way to celebrate five years! |
 |
| This dessert was AMAZING!!!! |

I cannot believe that five years have come and gone. We have done, seen, shared and grown so much in these last five years, we are excited to see where the next five years will take us.

* And yes, I purposely wore the same dress and shoes to celebrate our special day!
Saturday we got up early and met some great kids at the beach! It was such a fun morning hanging out at the beach, sharing and laughing with some really amazing kids.
 |
| What a cutie!!! He found an almond and was so excited! |

| No matter where we go, it seems a game of football always sneaks in! (Even with life jackets on) |

After spending the morning with the kids, Dave and I joined up with some friends and had an afternoon of snorkelling....I think it was just what the Dr. ordered for Dave. I think he could have stayed out all day!

| We're ready to go!!! |
It was a great weekend and I am sad to say that school has taken my husband once again. But I am counting down until Christmas holidays, where I get to spend one entire month with him and we can explore some more of this island!!!
