more from the island...

Last night was Marks white coat ceremony. There were some great speakers and it was overall a nice ceremony. Mark looks so handsome in his lab coat. ;)
Afterwards we went to dinner and the whole school was invited. There were tons of people. It was a lot of fun!

This past week I had a little bit more time to explore the island. The beaches are beautiful, there are lots of shops and restaurants and the sun is usually shining. It is nice being able to be outdoors all the time! Not sure the humidity in the summer will still allow for that!

We went down to Phillipsburg (another little town) the other day and there were 3 cruise ships in. There were tons of people and the boats were cool to see.

We get a little bit more situated each week and I think we are finally feeling like this will be home for the next 18 months. Everyone continues to be great and helpful. We have had a chance to meet more people and hang out with friends. Tomorrow I have a brunch to go to with all the spouses. Should be fun!
Mark has been studying very hard! We do flash cards together every night :) He has already learned so much! I am very impressed!
Hope everyone at home is happy and healthy!
