We're back!!! And Kyle is done with STEP ONE! We always saw that as such a big milestone, and thought it was far off. We can't believe it's over now, but we couldn't be more excited. I LOVE that Kyle doesn't have to study all the time, and we'll have more quality time to enjoy the island together. Before we know it, we'll be packing up to leave!
So, all day Saturday I aimlessly wandered around Plaza Las Americas, the largest mall in the Caribbean. Imagine my reaction to the Super Max, times 100! It felt so bizarre to be surrounded by stores and food courts. But once again, I realized everyone who surrounded me spoke Spanish. Each time I checked out somewhere, my conversation with the salesperson began and ended when I said, "hello." It's like as soon as they heard English, they remained silent the whole time I was there!
I was so thrilled when Kyle called me around 4pm to tell me he was done and was on his way to meet me at the mall. When I saw him, he had a huge smile of relief on his face. We were ready to celebrate. Most of you know that Kyle's favorite thing to do is bowl, and the mall had this really cool bowling alley inside called Galaxy Lanes. It's really big and modern, and is more of a bar and bowling alley combined. We had a blast bowling three games, one of which I actually beat Kyle!
Kyle made a friend who worked there, and as soon as Kyle mentioned his interest in going to a casino, this guy was on the phone calling one of his buddies to drive us there. Well, William was there in 10 minutes and we were on our way. Now I should say, I really dislike casinos. I'd rather go spend my money on something where I know I'll have a good time - like more bowling! - but Kyle loves it. So, being his night of celebration, we headed to the casino. We ended up losing $25, but that didn't stop our fun!
We headed to the Super Max, and bought their finest bottle of champagne - for $12 and did a cheers in honor of Kyle being done! Then we went down to the hotel's pool and hot tub since Kyle never got to enjoy them, being the study machine he is. Finally, we called it a night at 2am, exhausted from such a big day!
We want to thank you for all yours prayers for Kyle as he prepared and took the Step. We have to praise God for being so faithful to Kyle ever since he started here at Ross - he has blessed Kyle in so many ways, and I am so excited to see how God's going to use Kyle as a doctor in the future
Below is a slide show of pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
