A hunting we will go, a hunting we will go...

Woo hoo! We're going to the island tomorrow! Now most of you know what that means because you known me long enough to hear about it, but for those of you who don't here is some quick background. It is half of a 5 acre island on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire. This land has been in the family for generations. There is no electricity, no running water (except for a pump which we can't drink) and only 3 buildings on our side (not counting the outhouse). Anyways most of the time we spend swimming, boating, eating, and general up keep of the island.

I am very excited as this is Josh's first visit to the island. We are leaving as soon as he gets his car back from the mechanic tomorrow morning in which he had to replace the water pump. Nothing very exciting today. We mostly got the car to the mechanic and worked on our Americorp training info. We were able to meet the other house mate who is awesome, but is moving out this weekend.

She took us on errands with her to the pet shop and another Stop & Shop. The seem to be like Lowes food in the south, so not quite as ritzy as Harris Teeter but then not as cheap as Food Lion. We did grill out with our neighbors on the 3rd floor. They are really awesome and very very nice. We ended up playing scrabble with their 15 year old son and some of Christie's friends who were over visiting. I won (silent thank you to the Aunties). Poor Emily Jo (one of the 3rd floor neighbors) splashed boiling water on her face and is now at the ER. I'm sure she'll be fine, but it still sucks.

Man now I'm tired and so I'm going to go crash. Sorry this won't be updated for a while! Hope everyone is doing well, but in the mean time much love!
