so, most of you who know me well enough know that i have a major shark phobia.

i have no idea how or when this developed, because as a kid i was always near water swimming or even fishing with my dad and never remember having this  intense fear of them.we live on the bay of fundy for god’s sake.

maybe it’s the combination of the shark, and the unknown of the water~ and the two fears together are like a giant fear powerhouse?!!!

aaaanyway, i am headed to antigua in one week for my friend ashley’s wedding, and of course not ever being on a sunny vacation (or ever being anywhere outside of canada)  i had to scope the shark scene there prior to me arriving.

the word is, there are VERY few, if any shark attacks in the carribean. i have been checking several blogs and website, just to make sure those statistics are accurate. … it’s lookin’ good.

whewf.

i was pretty scared to see the results for a minute. google can be a scary thing when it comes to getting the answers.

so, there will be none of this

and lots of this!!!!!!

and for the first time ever a frangipani!!!!!!!!!!!

i’ll be swimming safely in the carribean.

thank heavens.
