I have no excuse for not updating the blog this time. I was suppose to start working when we got back from the States in the beginning of July. But my work permit was rejected. They rejected it because I applied while I was still on the island. They have a law stating that you have to leave the island while your permit processes. They make exceptions to that law if you have dependency pending. I did, so I stayed. They, however, decided not to make that exception for me. Someone must have been cranky that day, but since there isn't an appeal process for temporary permits, we couldn't do anything about it. We had already paid for Trent's Karate day camp and he was really excited to go. So he started on July 21st. I obviously don't want to leave while he is here and miss out on spending time with him. So I just booked a ticket to go to Denver on Aug. 27th for 3 weeks. While I am there, they will apply for my permit again and then hopefully I will be able to work again! I have been very bored because during the day because I don't have Trent to play with. I have asked him if he wants to stay home with me a couple times, but apparently playing with me isn't as fun as playing with his new friends at camp, so I always get turned down. :( You can't blame him, he's 8 and his camp isn't just Karate all day. They go fishing, to the turtle farm, butterfly farm, rock hunting, beach pizza parties... I can't compete with that! I will try to get a picture of him in his Karate outfit tonight and post it. He looks so cute in it.

My days have been consumed with beach runs in the mornings and cleaning and watching movies in the afternoon. Not very exciting, so I haven't had much to write about.

This weekend we have a big day planned on Saturday. Travis isn't going to work, so we are going to take advantage of it! We are heading to the East end to see the blow holes, go to the Pirate Caves, eat lunch at the wreck of the ten sails, and finish up at Starfish Point. We will take lots of pictures so check back next week!

My cousin's baby, Jace, was in the hospital and had surgery last week. He's doing much better now. He's in our thoughts and prayers. Add him to yours too, please.
