more catchup

*Cruise stuff
After Aruba we went to an island called Curacao. It has a dutch feel to it, and was really nice. We were only there for 4 hours so Dad and I shopped. I got most of my Christmas presents there. At noon we went on to a special part of the bow that is not usually open, and watched us take off. It was a really nice and beautiful. I said here "I could see myself coming and visiting for a while!"
Then we cruised for another day and ended up in the Bahamas. Each cruise line has their own private island and Holland has Half Moon Cay. This is my favorite place to go. I absolutely love this island. Quiet, small, safe, non-commercial and just perfect.  I said here "I could see myself living here!!"
To say the least I like anywhere near the ocean. And these islands weren't hot at this time of year.

*WLS
WLS is weight loss surgery. I went to the dr on monday and it went well and they are submitting my papers for approval from the insurance company. I am so excited to do this, I hope they get answers soon. That way if they need me to do something else for insurance we can get on it. The nurses and the office staff feel pretty confident about the insurance, but I don't want to get my hopes up too soon. I want the change so badly and to see my eating change. I'm scared for sure!!! but the benefits of this surgery outweigh all the fears.
