The second picture shows what the Tarpon did to our boat. (Look at the floor and all over their feet...You guessed it...the fish defecated all over EVERYTHING!)
So My Birthday was just over a month ago and I wanted to show off my birthday present. After all, I am now 25 years OLD and counting the wrinkles next to my eyes. I will admit 25 is a little depressing because even though the years are racking up, I don't feel a day over 21. I know, big difference huh? Any who, I ride my bike to work and during the winter months it is wonderful. With the summer coming and the humidity and temperature climbing I started to get a little worried about how I might be showing up to work drenched in sweat. So...for my birthday Tyler got me a baja doodlebug mini bike! It is pretty fun to cruise around on and it's just the perfect size for me.
Just got done with the bike and now I'm off to run...Very hard to run after biking, if you have not tried it you should. Wierdest feeling ever. 
We got to go home in October so Tyler could go deer hunting. I am not going to lie, it was quite an enjoyable week. The weather was beautiful, the leaves were changing. We got to sleep in a king size bed and walk around on carpet. These, among many other things that I took for granted, are all luxuries that we do not have in Puerto Rico. I don't have many pics from our week but I here are two of the deer that Tyler got. 
Not even joking, we were leaving out friends house the other day and we saw this. A truck load of tree branches with about 7 men piled in and on top of it!
So I don't think I mentioned this but when I was in Utah for the summer I decided to go to nail school. It is something I have been wanting to do for a while now but just never got around to doing it. I really love working with my hands and I love being able to make people look and feel good. Nail school was a lot of fun but i'm glad it is over. I was glad to finally be able to get to Puerto Rico and be with Tyler. I feel like we are starting the next chapter in our lives. He definately picked out an amazing apartment and the greatest location. We are so close to the beach and it is a very nice area. I was able to find a job just two streets down from our house in a salon. So when I work, Tyler can take the car to school and I walk to work. So now I am currently a Tecnica de una, as you would say it in Spanish, which is Nail Technician. I started a blog so I would be able to post some pics for people to see my work.
So yesterday there was a hurricane watch! This was a little scary at first because I have never been on an island during hurricane season. Hurricane Earl was headed toward Puerto Rico but luckily turned north and missed the island. We still got a ton of wind and a TON of rain. The streets by our house were all flooded to my knees. I took Tyler to school so I could go to the store and get things in case our power went out from the storm.
To start off you need to know one thing about Puerto Rico, the island is 50x100 miles and there are 4million people on the island, that's right I said 4 million. The majority of which are in San Juan. Everything is crowded, always and there is traffic no matter what time of day it is. (Except Sunday mornings. Back to my point, so I am at the store, it is 7 in the morning and the line for the check out is 1/2 hour long. AHHH! Then, Tyler calls me to come get him so I head off to get him and hit a little traffic.....no A LOT of traffic....no joke I think every car in puerto rico was on the road and they were all heading the same dirrection. I was moving no where! I think my blood started to boil a little bit. The ironic thing about it was just before I had left I finished reading Elder Uchdorf's talk in the conference ensign on patience. It took my two hours, TWO HOURS to pick him up. Normally it is 15 min to get the the school and that is with the typical traffic. I think I could have walked home faster than that!
The up-side to the storm was the waves. We just got back from the beach and it was incredible. The waves were comin up all the way to the hotel. They were huge, Tyler went out surfing for a little while, I tried for a little bit but I couldn't even get past the waves they were so big. They were tossing me around real bad. I still had a blast though. There were so many surfers out there it was way cool to see. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures because we were both in the water. We need a photographer:) Anyone who wants to come visit is more than welcome. It is a blast!
So far these are the only pictures we have taken in Puerto Rico. Don't worry there will be more to come. This was the first week I was here. Tyler had a lot of time off so we were able to spend it together before he oficially started seeing patients. I love where we live. Tyler could not have picked a better apartment. We are so close to the beach so we like to go there a lot. It is definitely going to be a different experience living out here but it will be fun. 
For orientation Tyler had to go to New York for two weeks. I was able to go out over the 4th of July weekend. I have never been to New York before so I had a blast. It is like it's own country. There are millions of people and the subway...by far my favorite. It goes every where! This was on our way home one night this guy was playin down there (it was so hot) and he was wearing these leather pants. He was actually pretty good so we were all jammin together:)
We went to times square a few times and we saw some pretty crazy people/things. this was by far the most interesting but creepy thing I have ever seen. There is a face on the other side of the head so either way you look at it you feel like you are looking at it from the front. CRAZY! I was so afraid it was gong to swing one of its arms around and swatt me by accident.
