Wellnothing like the moviePeewee's big adventure, but Cheryl Jeanne (my mom) sure did experience a rip roaring time in the Dominican Republic! It all started with an airport pick-up that went smoothand a 4 hour drive through a third world country that kinda set the big CJ fora loop. I guess I never realize that peoplewho ren't called to missions see things with different eyes! Anyway, finally we arrived at the apartmentand saw the beautiful beach to find outthat the ocean gets "angry" 2 times a year and gues what...yup you guessed it...this was the week so we were inable to swim Thursday and most of Friday. We did however get to drive through the country and see some great and not so great views. CJ saw pigs and plantains! We saw the area of CAP CANA where DonaldTrump is building ahotel and the school there was beautiful. Saturday was the best day as we drove back to Baya Hibe and went on acatamaran to Isla Saona a desertes Island...the water and weather was finally great and we caught some starfish too....CJ had a mini-nervous breakdown returning to the capital of Santo Domingo as driving here is nuts and especially on Semana Santa (holy week) but she made it and we enjoyed the botanical gardens and walking the city as well as seeing typical dominican dancing (no CJ chickened out she didn't dance!) and last she came to the school to teach and meet the kids....all in all it was a very nice visit and of course....Gotta love my crazy mom.
So now, 3 more months back to the grind and rest so I can forcus on what God has for the end of this journey. more news to come about that! ok pray for peace, rest, and new energy to seek HIM.check out the blog photos

Hey Jaim,
I enjoyed the photos of your time with your aunt Cheryl. I never heard you call her CJ - that's funny!
I'm sure she was a bit shocked by life in the DR, but it sounds like you had a good time together. Sorry that Florida didn't work out - we would have loved to see you. We had a nice trip and are settling back into life at home. Poor Savannah has an ear infection so she's not her normal happy self, but we're managing. Hope all is well. I'd love to catch up soon.
lots of love and prayers.
oops, I meant to say "your mom"...not "your aunt cheryl".
haha
Aw - time with Mom S. How fun?! Love the pics. I look forward to hearing/reading more about the remainder of your time as referred to at the end of your blog.
