FAMILY

So I found out Palm Beach, FL is an amazingly rich place that has lots of palm trees.  Who would guess with a name like that!!  Nathanael and I started the day with a huge breakfast buffet at the hotel, and then went on to the airport to prep his plane for his flight back to Bermuda tomorrow.  It was fun to get to hang out with him and experience a little bit of his life for a change.  After the toilet was properly put back in place with the blue water in it, we left, driving around the Island for a bit just looking at the real estate.  Pretty sure if one house sold, the owner could buy Harper and have enough money left over to rebuild Anthony!  Pretty amazing!  It is so crazy how fast things change though as we drove down the coast towards Miami.  Within less than 100 miles you can go from this, to Little Haiti.  It really is a shocker to see the different types of people living in such close proximity.

We came back to the DOOR house, which, if my the owner sold, they could buy..well, still a nice piece of real estate in Harper!  But it isnt quite as nice as the mansions.  

We came back and played games all afternoon until it came time to brave the traffic to my school.  After an hour of sitting still, we somehow arrived at the school to find all the classrooms blocked off due to paint, therefore, I couldnt show off my work to the one visitor that I will have in 3 months.  Nathanael took off for his hotel as I had to go to teacher meetings the rest of the day.  Reality has set in for the time being, as I no longer can wear anything other than dress pants and a tie to work.  (with the shirt of course)  I kinda felt like I won "reward" on the hit show, SURVIVOR, where the winners get a trip away form the island for the weekend, getting fancy food and nice bedding.  We ate some fancy sushi while we were together and stayed in a very extravagant hotel!  It really was an awesome treat to have your big bro take you out for the evening and night!

Teachers meeting are boring!  Always! 

enough about that....

The evening was spent getting home from school, with the van stalling every 100 feet in the middle of major highways.  No one wants to mess with man in a van though, so I wasnt in too much danger!  When I arrived home, my one room mate me to take me to the hospital to see JJ.  I spent the evening with him, keeping him a bit of company while we watched some TV together and surfed the web.  He seems to be doing alright, but they still have no answers for him.  They are keeping him tonight and I pray he will be released in the morning.  Continue to pray for healing and answers as this is a scary time for him with no answers coming his way.
