Here's a quick update of our journey so far as we approach our one year anniversary here in the DR:
-- After doing some contract work for the UN late last year, Jahkedda landed a sweet telecommuting job that she can do from home in her pajamas
-- A couple months ago, Aaron was named as the Deputy Chief of the section he had been working in since arriving at post.
-- We spent Christmas and New Year's with Jahkedda's family in Trinidad, where Aaron discovered a love for Soca music
-- We've become masters at not only the Merengue but also the Bachata
-- With the help of three of her siblings that flew down from NY, Jahkedda celebrated an EPIC 30th birthday weekend
-- We're headed to Mexico City in a week to celebrate Aaron's 31st birthday
-- After much debate and introspection, we decided to finish out the 2-year tour here in the DR instead of jumping ship later this year. So we'll be here through June 2011.
-- Although we're still learning, neither of us really speaks Spanish all that well.
