My work permit has been approved!!! I think I will start my new job Jan. 7th. I am going to be working for a Temp agency for six months. Then they will place me unless I want to keep temping. I will mostly be working at banks and law offices. I'm not too exciting about the idea of doing temp work, but this company is known for it's great placement after you put in your time. So hopefully I will get a great job in July.

Travis had a little scare this week. There was a tropical depression on the radar (Olga) that they thought was going to hit the island yesterday. He spent Wednesday and Thursday boarding up windows and securing materials on his job site. But it dissipated so I think all they got was a little rain.

Also, Dan and Kelly Boggs were our first visitors. Unfortunately, I was here. They flew in for 4 days. They snorkeled at more sites than we have! Dan also brought his fly fishing gear and Kelly laid on the beach while he fished. They said they had a blast. So come visit!!

Frozen in Wisconsin

I haven't blogged since I got back to Wisconsin. The only thing I have to talk about is how cold it is. Travis is still working on the island. He actually had the nerve to complain to me about getting a sunburn on his neck while he watched the Packers last Sunday at an outdoor tiki bar. Poor baby.

I had to leave while they processed my work permit. It usually takes 2 weeks, but I still haven't heard if it has been approved or not. Travis comes home on the 22nd. Then we are both flying back on the 25th. It was the cheapest ticket so we will have to celebrate the holiday there.

My family is all getting together this year in Rapid City for Christmas. We are pretty bummed that we will miss out on the get together. Maybe next year?

As far as exciting news goes the only thing I have for you all is that Sarah (my sister) got engaged last weekend so we are getting a new member to the Olson clan sometime next year. Welcome to the family SAM!

I have worked almost everyday since I returned. I am looking forward to having this weekend off to relax with Trent, Travis's family, and my friends. I miss Travis!
