Holidays
Two years later …
We laugh more. He does more dishes, because he knows how I hate them. We’ve travelled to five different countries. I still nightly tuck my ring in the box he proposed with. We have gotten a little “fluffy” around the edges. I cook *gasp!* My morning “mascara eyes” and messy hair don’t phase him. We … Continue reading
Bunny Hangover
It’s back to the ol’ grind here in Grenada after an unforgettable long weekend. We hope that each of your Easter weekends overflowed with chocolate, creme eggs and the peace that comes through the Savior’s resurrection. As for us, we ate our last satanic bunny last night. As the sugar rushes subside, this catchy little ditty … Continue reading
Your Love is Better Than Ice Cream
Valentines Day in medical school often finds students preoccupied with matters of the heart. You know, arrhthmias, EKGs, myocardial infarctions, etc. There is very little time nor energy for the unscientific parts of the heart. Or is there … I must preface this post by saying that our Valentines Day was one for the record … Continue reading
The Love Birds
Each morning, David and I wake up to the sound of cooing outside our bedroom window. A pair of Grenadian Doves likes to perch on the telephone wire back there and remind us that it is morning. Our love birds only live in Grenada and conversationalists estimate that fewer than 100 of them exist in the world. … Continue reading

Fixed all our computers and David looked at every gadget in his parent’s house. A tour of the BYU campus and lunch with David’s former professors and friends. Watching … Continue reading
A Thanksgiving Story
Gather ‘round friends and family and let me tell you a tale of triumph and thanksgiving. Our story begins with two pilgrims who, after a few hugs and tears, said goodbye to their friends, their family and their home. They were setting out into the wild in search of a better life; one where they … Continue reading
Long-Distance Birthdays
Birthdays in the Cooper house usually include silliness, your cake of choice and a chicken and cheese casserole that clogs the arteries and provides a gateway to Nirvana. In short, they are awesome. Last night I got to spend a blissful two hours on Skype celebrating this stud muffin’s 22nd. You sure know how to throw a … Continue reading
Happy Halloween From the Goofy Glenns!
It’s as hot as Hades down here and the little devils are running wild. Well, today they were. Halloween in Grenada is a foreign concept. I guess the worship of all things creepy and cute is an American thing. But we did our best to bring fall to the island of eternal summer. [oqeygallery id=14] … Continue reading
Our First Grenada Holiday
The frantic staccato of island party music pounded along the beach last night and marched right into our bedroom window. Just a few blocks below us, hundreds of islanders descended on the beach with their lawn chairs and tarp tents ready for a party. Wouldn’t you want to celebrate too if you were freed from … Continue reading
