What did you do back in the states before Trinidad?

How did you meet your husband?

I worked at a little stationery store designing invitations, stationery, wedding things. I loved it.

We met in high school at a track meet. We were babies!

When did you get married? Wedding pic? Do you like to cook? (if yes, any good recipes?)

Oh good one! This is hard, because I don't really try to emulate anyone in particular. I guess I like Lauren Conrad's style.

We got married May 2010, I'll try to find a pic.

I love to cook but that doesn't mean I'm good at it haha. My husband loves things like jambalaya and crawfish étouffée, but ingredients are hard to come by here, so those are rare. I'm trying to learn some trini recipes while I'm here...

How long do you plan on living in Trinidad? And, where will you move next?

We're here on a 2 year contract, and it's been just over a year, so we're about half way.

There's always the chance of going somewhere else outside the US, but most likely we will be in Houston.

How is shopping in Trinidad?

Ehhh... It's pretty bad. Most of the shops look like cheap forever 21 stuff. But prices of... Jcrew.

What events did you do in track? I was in track also, I ran the 200m, 400m and 1600 relay.

What's your biggest takeaway so far from the 31 in 31 challenge?

What's on the top of your fall shopping list?

What's the best thing that's happened so far this year to you?

What's your favorite thing about Trini?

Are you able to work there? If not, what do you do during the day?

I did the 100m relay and the 200, but I only did it freshman year. My H was a pole vaulter.

The 31 challenge is opening my mind to tons of new combos, instead of "oh I'll wear this with jeans" I'm using lots more bottoms. And wearing dresses as tops, and other things I wouldn't think of. Also makes me feel like my wardrobe is huge hah.

The best thing this year... it's been a sort of weird/rough year. Maybe not "best" but I'd have to say spending time with my SIL early in January. She passed away at the end of the month and I wouldn't trade that time for anything.

I love the people, the food, the beaches. Weekends here are really fun!

No I'm not, that's my least favorite thing haha. We share a car so I'll take H to work 3 days a week and run errands, hang with other expat wives, etc. Some days I'm home, but usually I'll take a dip in the pool, read on the porch. I also have been teaching myself some graphic design software so that keeps my busy.

It gets a little lonely but the weeks pass pretty quickly. Oh and I'm on here pretty frequently too

Sorry to hear about your SIL passing, adlove.

Thank you, mav

[fashionx]

Sorry about your SIL, but I'm glad that you were able to spend some meaningful time with her.

What type of work were you doing before you moved, or what do you want to do?

Thanks fashionx, she had melanoma and was sick for a long time, so I'm relieved she is no longer suffering.

I actually graduated with a degree in fashion merchandising, but I'm interested in graphic design moreso. I'd like to do something related to that when I return, would love to have a little invitation printing business of my own or something like that. As long as I'm doing something creative, I'm happy:)
