MY FIRST DUTCH CHOCOLATE LETTER!!
It’s a Dutch tradition to give chocolate letters on December 5th which is Sinterklaas Day. I was able to get traditional Dutch chocolate letters for me and Ben while in Houston. I put them in our stockings. Ben’s was dark chocolate or puur. Mine is milk chocolate. They were both so good!

I love that Ben and I finally got to go on a date!! We went to the brewery for some Oktoberfest fun. We share the pretzel charcuterie board. It contained a jumbo sized Oktoberfest pretzel, beer cheese sauce, spicy mustard, cucumber dill salad, 5-day pickled egg, a dill pickle spear, käsespätzle, and a German pancake. It was nice to have time with my love, to talk, plan, and just be together.

You won’t wanna miss the last pic 😂🤣

Ben and I are blessed with great friends. One gave us a beach/pool pass to the hotel he works at. We ended up having the large pool all to ourselves. It was just what we needed to do on what was a very hard day for me.

4 years without you. It still doesn’t feel real. Not a day goes by where I don’t think of you and wish for one more… one more hug…one more “I love you”… just one more day with you.

I cherish the memories I have and hold tightly to the cards, videos, and songs.

I love and miss you, Mike

BEN IS A INSTRUCTOR!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I am so incredibly proud of this man!!! After we got back from the Bahamas, he had a week of “downtime” to do the e-learning and all the prep to start the IDC (instructor development course). Then the 2 week long course started. It’s a lot!! However, with this particular course director, you are over prepared for the IE (instructor exam) which is great! Then he went straight into the 2 day IE. He was nervous but absolutely CRUSHED it!!!

That smile says it all 😁😁😁

Ben and I started taking selfies 🤳
And Nick and Ana started teasing us 😂🤣
Perfect sunset to end the trip 🥰🥰

We were sitting at the Nauti Rooster waiting for Nick and Ana when Ana comes running in and tells us to hurry! They had been trying to get ahold of us but WiFi and cell service were both down. They didn’t want us to miss the most epic sunset!!!

Off to one last dinner in The Bahamas 🇧🇸 with my love. Because of the nearby storms, we had a ton of wind!!! Also the entrance to the marina overflowed.

Off to explore another abandoned house. This one was extra creepy!!
Got that cruise control going again 🤭 Then we walked around the beach the house overlooks.

After the sandbar and wreck snorkel, the guys went lobster 🦞 hunting! Ben came back to the cabana to get ready for dinner. Guess what we had? Grilled lobster with homemade chimichurri sauce. Sea to table in less than 2 hours.
We also had great views of all the storms in the distance. Check out the rain over the shipping container!!
Ana and Nick were house/pet sitting. Maverick is a spunky little dude! Layla is a sweet blind kitty who is quite skittish

Off to snorkel a wreck! We tried to do it after turtle cove but it was too choppy and the current was very strong.
Nick and I stayed on the boat 🛥️
