These first few pictures are from a "tropical garden" - it was the only indoor display, but it was gorgeous and made us feel like we were in paradise!

Very beautiful as well... he gets windows!!!

Some indoor shots of the gym- where I spend my days!

Here are some outdoor shots of my job-

basketball/tennis courts

baseball/kickball field (I'm in charge of running all of the leagues for the employees)

a view of the building- there are about 1000 employees that work here

We skyped with the Kingsleys today... my dad and I made faces the whole time

Yes my hair looks shorter and darker and redder... I went to a beauty school (two blocks from us) today and a girl cut and colored my hair. Afterwards, she informed me that I was her FIRST ever haircut. Yep. I've only had two people in my life do my hair until today- and I was her first. I like it though! I think this is one of many big steps for me down here!
