Back to the grind.

So, I’m back at work right now and I really would rather still be on the beautiful beach! Man, is it every cold today. I guess it’s time to try to find my winter jacket!

The trip was just what I needed. October has been a crazy month at work, so taking a week off to go to relax was perfect timing. We arrived last Saturday and were greeted by the warm Dominican sun. We arrived at the resort around 4:30 pm or so and checked in. Our room was really nice with an even nicer bathroom. We got changed and headed to the beach to check it out. Gorgeous! Just like I remembered it. White sand beaches as far as the eye can see and turquoise water. I will post some pictures when I get a chance.

We spent the week lounging by the pools and at the beach. The food was quite good, I ate way too much though! The resort was a little different than last time. The building where the disco used to be is now a cocktail lounge and there is a brand new disco and huge ampitheatre near the lobby. Other than that, the resort was very similar to last time.

One day was really windy and we were in the ocean. A huge wave came along and took the sunglasses right off of my head! I was upset. We looked for about a half hour and could not find them. Luckily, the sunglasses were a $15 pair I had bought at the Bay right before the trip. So, it wasn’t big loss. I bought a new pair in the gift shop. Actually, CT had to buy a new pair too since his broke. So, I guess I know for next time to bring 2 pairs of sunglasses.

The weather was amazing. It only rained a couple of times and the rain only lasted for 15 or 20 minutes, and then it was bright sunshine again. So, no complaints about the weather; it was fabulous!

Our plane got in around 9:30pm on Saturday, so we were home just after midnight. All in all, we had a fabulous time and I can’t wait to go on vacation again. Although I think it will be awhile since I am now broke ;)

On a completely un-related note, when I checked my email when I got home, I had received an email from my ex-fiance. I haven’t talked to him in at least 3 years. I thought the timing of it was strange since we were just talking about hearing from ex’s on Mrs. JB’s blog. The reason for my ex’s email was to let me know that he had put me down as a reference for some “top secret security clearance with the US government” he applied for. He needed someone to verify some of his info from before me moved to the states, so pre-2002. That would be me since I was in his life from 1997 to 2002. He also asked how life was going and that sort of thing. I was totally caught off guard since I haven’t talked to him in so long. I found it strange.

Okay, enough procrastinating, I should get some work done. Happy Monday everyone!
