Champions for Triple C

My soccer boys played the most amazing game this past Saturday. It came down to a shoot-out and they won! It was so much fun! I didn't take Kyleigh this time but some other teachers were there. Triple C is in the red and blue.

The Periwinkle @ The Ritz-Carlton

Dusty and I were really wanting to go to this restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton, named The Periwinkle with world reknowned Chef Eric Repert. Its one of three of his restaraunts in Cayman. It is dinner with a movie. They were showing Casa Blanca!! After dinner, you can walk down to this little beach and watch a movie on comfy lawn chairs. We went with Wes and Rebecca, good friends of ours! It is beautiful and we plan on going back!!

Connect Groups @ Sunrise

So, we've started going to Sunrise Community Church and really connecting with people. It is so awesome because everyone seems to be from a different place. Here, we were hanging out at a couple's house from South Africa. Dusty and I have really enjoyed getting to know these people and building relationships!

Uniform Day at Triple C

Kids have to dress in uniform everyday except Friday. So, teachers dressed in uniform on this specific Friday, while the students came in free dress. It was hilarious, and everyone thought I was a student.

Dinner at Hard Rock Cafe

Dusty and I were invited to a birthday party at Hard Rock Cafe this month. It was the little brother of one of my students, Easton. A couple of the others teachers came that Dusty and I have gotten to know! Part of our wonderful experience here in Grand Cayman!

Our First New Years

Christmas 2007

What a beautiful Christmas we had this year! Yes, it was our first Christmas married, so that was wonderful in itself. We got to experience Christmas in Cayman as well as fly home to be with our families. Dusty and I have never enjoyed being home more than this trip and never felt more blessed! We went to Christmas cantatas, Christmas parties, and just enjoyed being with our entire family!

Brian's Graduation from JSU

Decemeber 14, 2007, Brian and Laurie graduated from JSU. This was pretty much the first family gathering since our wedding in August. It was wonderful!

Dr. Dusty-to-be

Dusty finished another semester strong!! He aced his finals and could enjoy Christmas break! 4th Semester, here we come!

Kyleigh was encouraging his studies here :-)

Triple C Soccer Game

Some of my students play on the school's Under 11 Soccer team. This was the first game I went to and they won! Kyleigh was a hit. They wanted to focus on her more than the game!

Pavla comes to visit...

Ivan's girlfriend came to visit from Canada and we all hung out through the week! We went to a luau at a nearby restaurant where we watched a guy dance with flaming torches. You'll see the fun in the pictures!

Our Honeymoon- Antigua

I am posting this one a little out of order, but here it is anyway.

Dusty and I had the most amazing honeymoon. We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta for two nights. It was the most beautiful room! We flew out on that Monday to the island of Antigua to the amazing Sandals resort, where we stayed through Saturday. The pictures below will speak for themselves.

Triple C School- (God's Provision)

www.triplecschool.org

So, without ever knowing it, God had been working to provide me with a job while here in Grand Cayman. I applied to be a substitute teacher and in return was offered 7 months of maternity leave positions, meaning full-time teacher salary here in Grand Cayman. I am working at a private Christian school here on the island. It is however, an American school. The island is British, but in this school I teach American History with a little Cayman History. I am called Mrs. Millican every day...that was one of the neatest parts :-)

I am working with 5th graders. I have 24 students, 18 boys...:-) It was a huge challenge for me at first, but ask Dusty, I have become so attached and love ever second in the classroom. I do not want to give them back to their original teacher. I get to teach Bible every day. We pray together, we sing worship songs together (Hillsong mostly :-)), and we get into the Word together! Yes, the biggest blessing that I have been a part of!!

Here are some pictures below. My boys play on the Under 11 Soccer team at the school. They are wonderful!! Some of my girls play Netball (similar to Volleyball) and others play instruments and perform in the Drama club.

Daddy, Mama, Brad, and Mimi Visit

October 2007

Daddy, Mama, Brad, and Mimi flew in and were in town the same time as Mammaw and Leachy! It was so much fun! They flew in with Kyleigh so that she could live here with us! Six of us slept in a studio apartment for almost a week but it was so wonderful to have them here! We went sailing and swam with the stingrays. We went out to eat and to Rum Point. We didn't want them to leave ever!

Leachy and Mamaw Come to Visit!!!

October 2007
Mamaw and Leachy came to visit us and we had a blast!!! We went on an Atlantis Submarine 100ft underwater. We did a lot of fun things and wish they had not had to leave!!

August 25, 2007

The most exciting day of our lives happened August 25, 2007. After 3 1/2 years of dating, we were married in the most amazing ceremony of our dreams.

Life in Grand Cayman

Dusty and I have been wanting to find some sort of way to keep you guys updated on what's going on in the new life of the Millican's. We hope you enjoy this as we will post pictures and comments about our lives since August.
