So things are not going in the direction that we thought they would.

The "For Sure" job in Barbuda has been postponed until March/April. This job has had so many delays that I don't think it really will pan out.

The big question now is what to do next. Since we are not independently wealthy and the money is dwindling quick we need to find a place with some work. Tim has been working since we left but it has been selling Fridge Tek. The economy is so terrible that it is a hard time to sell!

We have have decided to head back down to Florida for the time being. Tim has a couple days of work and my dad is going to be there next week. He has not met the newest member of the family; Asher.  After that we plan to head over to St. Petersburg/Tampa area.

We have had a wonderful time on Jekyll Island. There is quite a bit to do and see in the area. It is a great place to learn about history and marine life. Homeschooling has consisted of many field trips to the beach looking for new specimens. We than look up what we found. Sand Dollars are all over so we have had fun collecting, researching, and preserving them. There area has quite a few historical houses, museums and lighthouse. We climbed to the top of the light house(I didn't realized how high they really are until you are at the top and scared of heights) and learned what it was like to be a light house keeper.  We have had a great time learning about this area.

I think we have grown closer as a family. Now don't get me wrong, we have had some major meltdowns all around. I think we are starting to get more of a rhythm going. We also have not connected to the cable TV. That little thing has helped tremendously. Julia has become a voracious reader. Late in the night I will see her head light shining.

Abby Orange is hanging in there. She definitely a conversation starter here in the campground.  She has sprung a couple of leaks but is still holding up.
So things have not gone the way we imagined them to go, but we are still glad we made the decision to go.  Plus, it wouldn't be an adventure if everything went to plan now would it?
