Getting excited for Spring Break...

Hopefully Tom is back for Spring Break....that is what I am hoping for....because we were planning on going somewhere warm. Well, he wants to go somewhere warm because Afghanistan is FREEZING and I am pretty much going to tag along....which I definitely don't mind doing. I will have to start to expose my skin to a tanning bed. I know the risks associated with this, but they recommend doing it so that your skin doesn't go into shock when you are down there. They also don't want you to get blistering skin. I know that I am going to have to haul out the SPF 70 (You better BELIEVE I own some!) and put it on during high sun.

I remember when we went to the Dominican during the school year in high school, and it was so hot, you couldn't go outside during the peak sun hours. We ended up going in March, but I think that it still will be super warm! It is amazing how much planning has to go into one of these things. I was looking into the TwinRix vaccine because it protects against Hep A and B. Since I am susceptible to infection, I thought it would be a good preemptive action against the possibility of getting ill.

So, in leu of this new information, I have been looking at bathing suits. Because I only have one suit, I felt it appropriate to look for another one. I sent Tom an email with bathing suits that I liked and the black ones on this page are the ones that he picked out. They are not the super expensive ones, so that makes me happy. I have to go with the one piece bathing suits because of the scar on my stomach, but I think they are still pretty nice!!

I like the silver and pink one, but I guess it wouldn't hurt if I got more than one? So maybe that is what I will do. I mean, it is a week and then there is the honeymoon that will hopefully be in Bora Bora, so there is another beach scenario.

Back to studying and writing an email to Tom. Only 4 months of University left!

Hey!

I too am looking for a nice one piece bathing suit (I'm heading to mexico for reading week). American Apparel has some nice one piece suits.

I have a two piece from AA that I bought in the summer. We've got a pool so I spend a lot of time in it and the fabric really held up well.
