Ken and I just returned from Miami where we both attended the Security Cooperation Officer's Conference. I attended the spouses portion and learned quite a bit and met some wonderful spouses. I think I had more fun since the spouses got one free day from briefings and we visited Fairchild Gardens, The Biltmore and spent a few hours shopping :) Ken stayed extremely busy throughout the conference while coordinating relief efforts back in Honduras. Tropical Depression 16 created a lot of flooding and some of the villages were really affected. Thousands were rescued and 30 are dead with more still missing. The MILGP and Joint Task Force Bravo (US Military Unit in Honduras) have been assisting the Honduran gov't and COPECO (the country's disaster relief) with humanitarian relief and rescue efforts.

Miami
The best part of the whole week was being able to see family! My parents, along with two of my aunts and uncle flew down to meet us. It was wonderful to see them and catch up. Here are some photos with the family................
It goes with out saying that I made the trip to Target! And yes, a big box came back with us on the plane full of diapers, wipes and some other goodies. In Honduras we are very lucky to have US imports unfortunately you will pay twice the amount. For example, a package of 40 diapers costs close to $30. So there were some pretty good deals at Target that I could not pass up. For the last five months I have missed eating at Outback Steakhouse so Ken took me there so I could get my Alice Springs Chicken. The Children's Place clothing store was nearby so we made a stop there too.
It was really nice to be back stateside and we miss the roads!!!!! In Honduras they are very narrow and full of potholes with lot's of crazy drivers. However, we saw very similar driving techniques in Miami. Ken and I will probably have to go through a driving course when we return home so we can get rid of the bad habits:)
We have a doctors appt today so I will be sure to post the latest on our little girl. It is hard to believe we are at 34 weeks. Not much longer!!!!!!!!!!!
