Food, Friends, and Fun

Carson took his first Mini in medical school and did incredibly! I am so amazed at all the information he is absorbing in such a short amount of time. I am so proud of all his hard work and rejoice in his success. Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts, prayers, and emails.

Tuesday night after the first mini of medical school, we loaded into a bus with our wonderful group of friends and headed to dinner at Sunset Bay.

The Married Crew

We had a incredible evening visiting and eating the most delicious lobster. I had all the lobster I could eat for $30 US. It was so nice to have a relaxing night with Carson and all our friends. It has been the best meal I have eaten on the island so far. We can't wait to go back to Sunset Bay for our next celebration.

Our 1st Anniversary!

Enjoying the evening on our balcony

Carson and I celebrated our 1st anniversary yesterday! We cannot believe it has already been a year! How time does fly! Carson had a study day and stayed in the Annex until 8pm. He is such a hard working student! I went to work out in the student activity center, met Carson for lunch, went to the beach with a few of the other wives, and then went shopping for dinner.

I planned to make salmon croquettes, but I wasn't sure I could find all the ingredients here. But luckily I found pretty much what I needed. We had salmon croquettes with dill sauce, rice, salad, wine, and chocolate cake. We both thought it was delicious!

Our delicious dinner

Carson then surprised me with a beautiful amethyst ring! What a sweet husband! I had already given Carson his anniversary gift when I arrived last week. He got a new Timbuktu backpack filled with his favorite candy bars. The bag is perfect for carrying his laptop and all his books.

We spent the rest of the evening relaxing, watching TV, and just spending time together. It was nice actually having Carson home for awhile. We had a wonderful and very memorable first anniversary in Dominica!
