Grand Cayman Dog Show

Hannah, a sweet 1st grader from Triple C that I know.



The Humane Society and Pedigree put on their annual Cayman Islands Dog Show. Dusty and I are always wanting to do new things on the island and things we might not have the chance of doing again....so when I heard about this, we immediately wanted to go. If you're like me, I watch the real dog shows on tv and knew Kyleigh or I had no idea what to do. However, this was more for fun, so we entered two of more than 20 different events that they had....the "First time entry" and "Toy Breed" groups. I was so excited when they called Kyleigh for first place out of all the toy breeds there. It was really so neat! So we then got to be in the "Best in Show" competition. No she didn't get gift certificates or anything like that, but she got a nice blue ribbon and had a wonderful time :-) Ok, you can laugh at us now if you want.... :-)

Grand Cayman Murder Mystery Dinner Party

THERES GOING TO BE A MURRRDDRRR!!!!!! As Dusty kept on saying over and over! :-)haha

Our beautiful view

Sutffy and Chatty :-) Look at that Ascot on Dusty's neck!!hahahaa

Our friends Esther and Wes hosted a Dinner Party that was a murder mystery with Cayman themes. It was one of the neatest things we've ever done. We all dressed in character. Dusty was "Stuffy Barnacle" the old rich father of the groom in our mystery. I was "Chatty Bodden Ebanks" the journalist. You have to know Grand Cayman.....Bodden and Ebanks are the two most common last names of Caymanians.
It was a six course dinner, and in between courses, you were given more clues. We then had to walk around and talk with the other characters to try and solve the case. It was a group of our friends from school and church. And yes, they set it all up right on the shore!

Spring Fair @ Triple C

Two of my most precious preschoolers....Rachete and Arianna


The teachers I work with in Preschool....Allison (who is from Trussville, crazy isn't it!) and Deleta


The Spring Fair was so much fun! Our pre-school both was "The Goldfish Bowl". If students could ring the right cup, they won a free goldfish, it was adorable!! There was face painting, dunking booths, and tons of other things. The students throughout the day, could pay a dollar and sign the teacher of their choice up to participate in the finale, a suitcase race. I knew my fifth graders from earlier in the year were up to something....and sure enough, I was one of the teachers picked. Honestly, I took it as a compliment :-) We had to race around the gym and pick a suitcase and then dress into the clothes in the box....mine was a pirate! I didn't win, but it was so fun!

Coffey Anderson is an up and coming Christian artist. Our church hosted him for a concert here on the island. Dusty and I were a part of the even staff :-) It was really a lot of fun and an anointed time of worship!!

Here is Dusty with Ivan. Ivan and Dusty have become great friends and study partners since first semester. If you remember, Ivan is the one who came all the way from Canada for our wedding last August.

Dusty and Sanders. Sanders is one of the first people Dusty got to know besides Ivan. The three of them rode to school together all of first semester. He is from Miami.
Here he is...Dusty with Dr. Sreenathan, professor of Neuroscience. Dusty said that he was the most amazing instructor!!
Dusty and I with Wes and Kacy who joined us because they wanted to be a part of this night for Dusty!



March 7th, 2008
Tonight was a memorable night for all of us, but especially for Dusty. As you see in the pictures, Dusty's class was presented with their white coats. It was a beautiful ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton, where we had a four course meal and inspiring speakers. Dusty's favorite professor, Dr. Sreenathan, was one of the speakers. These pictures are a testament to the Lord's provision and Dusty's hard work the past four semesters. Out of 120, only 19 are ranked with honors.....and I will say proudly, that our Dusty is included in that small number! Enjoy the pictures!

Last Day :-(

This was there last day with us....we had lunch at Guy Harvey's before we took them to the airport. Dusty had to take me to work right after, so needless to say, that was very hard.

We invited all of our friends to come and meet our dads and Anthony while they were in town. We were reminded just how blessed we are by the hand of our Lord when we saw all of our friends that showed up. We really have met a multitude of friends here! Kyleigh enjoys them too!
