Two more days until the big day! We are very excited and all the preparation are done. Our wedding coordinator Bart is the best as he has made planning a wedding so easy. Our family is just about here. We are still awaiting the arrival of Hil and Bry (my sister and brother in law)and Justin's grand parents. Then all the festivities can officially begin.
We got our marriage license yesterday. Did you know if you are a woman who has never been married you are a spinster and if you are a man you are bachelor.I am spinster for two more days!
The family is all great my Dad's room has been made the officially breakfast nook and he has made it into TiWo's cafe and has a sign and everything. Our nightly games of hearts have heated up and Jonathon ( Justin ' Brother) lost last night (I lost the night before).
We have been having a wonderful time. Anguilla is truly paradise!!! We have been doing lots of scuba diving. We have been on four dives, two of them were wreck dives and two of them were reef dives both of them were spectacular. We saw lobster, large fish, barracuda, and tons of bright colored fish such as parrot fish.
Since we have been here Justin and I have acquired marine pets. Justin stumbled across his pet while looking for conch shells. He became obsessed as to what the creature was. He swam out every day for four days and finally got his octopus to come out for some pigs feet ( ewww). Oci ( Justin named him ) is a small reddish brown octopus which Justin visits often and sometimes gives a tour. He takes his octopus work very seriously :)
I on the other hand found my pet as we were snorkeling on the other side of the island
While snorkeling on a reef a small fish no bigger than the size of a quarter swam over to us. He was silver and orange. He then proceeded to swim half the length of the reef right at our masks he stayed with us for a good 20 mins. Justin and I were in hysterics the whole time as he made himself a member of our group. Melvin as I have named him then disappeared. I was heart broken and asked Justin to go back to where we found him. Justin thought there would be no way Melivn was there. He had probably been eaten by another fish. But we went back anyway to both our surprised he swam right back to us. We played with him for another 10 mins and then had to go. He tried to swim up on the shore but then realized he could not swim on the sand and then went back to the ocean. We are going back today to see if he is still there.
We are still trying to get photos on this site and should have them up tonight
Hope all is well
Take care and we will be in touch soon

Court and Justin
