Welcome to Jerry & Sheila Island Living 🌴

🚀 WHAT WE COVER:
Expat Relocation: Logistics, residency, and cost of living.

One thing we’ll never take for granted is meeting members of our Island Living family in real life. 🇩🇴
Today we ran into a subscriber at Jumbo, and it was a great reminder that this channel is bigger than videos—it’s a community.
If you ever see us around the Dominican Republic, come say hello!
Where are you watching from today? 👇🏽

Dinner vibes in Virginia! 🇺🇸 Customary stop at Bonefish Grill because it’s the wife's first time trying it out.
What’s the one restaurant you always have to hit up whenever you travel back to the States? Let me know in the comments. 👇

You can’t fake moments like this 🇺🇸🏈
My wife got to see my son play flag football in person for the very first time on her first trip to the United States. This was in Chesterfield, Virginia, and honestly… moments like this hit different when your worlds finally come together. Family, football, and memories we’ll never forget. 🙏🏽👊🏽

Life really hit different in this moment 🙏🏽
Me, my dad, and little Jendry together at my niece’s wedding in Albany, Georgia. Seeing three generations in one picture reminded me how important family, legacy, and time really are.
From Army life… to becoming a father… to watching my son grow while my dad is still here to witness it all — that’s a blessing I never take for granted. ❤️
These are the moments money can’t buy.

Proud father moment right here 🙏🏽
From late nights, sacrifices, and lessons… to watching my son walk across that stage. Man, this one hit different. 💯🎓
Congratulations to my son on graduating high school! The journey is just getting started, and I’m proud of the young man you’re becoming. Keep grinding, stay focused, and never forget where you came from. 👊🏽
Family. Legacy. Growth. That’s what it’s all about. 🇺🇸

“Two different worlds, one shared vision. 🇩🇴🇺🇸
After so many sacrifices, changes, and life transitions… we’re still here together, growing, learning, and building our legacy step by step. It hasn’t always been easy, but nothing real ever is.
What people see today in a photo was once built through long nights, uncertainty, patience, and faith. But we kept believing in each other and in the life we’re creating as a family. 💯🙏🏽
Peace over pressure. Always. 👊🏽
