When we thought of moving to a Caribbean Island, we thought about long relaxing weekends by the sea, no rush hour, daquiris and cold beers sweating in our hands and a release from "the real world." What we did not expect was to own a blackberry, speak with our parents nearly twice as much as we did back home via Skype, maintain our Facebook pages and diversify our musical tastes with unknown Aussie and British indy bands. Blake and I have become more wound up in technology and media than we had ever thought possible. In fact... here is some big news! One of us will be published in a small Canadian magazine distributed nation-wide this year!!!!! And it isn't me! Blake was approached by an accounting magazine and asked if he would share his story about the transfer as well as some advice for up and coming accountants and the diversity a CA designation provides. It should be coming out closer to the end of the year - complete with pictures! Who knew that he would be the first to get published! Am I jealous??? Slightly, but I've been riding his coattails for the past 4 months anyways. The truth is that he really is the star in this marriage! However, my own personal accomplishment has been learning how to teach swim lessons and recognize and pick good papayas. Maybe not as large of an accomplishment, but new skills nevertheless.
