Carissa with the sweet little kiddos



We were blessed enough to be able to visit and play with the kids at a nearby orphanage yesterday afternoon. It was an amazing time! Even though they were sick and not feeling good the kids were still so lovable! It was really hard to leave... but i think we will be going back! There was even a capuchin monkey there of all critters! I was so happy i finally got to see my capuchin. He was too cute... although he was in a cage so i didn't get to hold him... but i think it still counts! After the orphanage we all drove to Santa Cruz and Chris treated us to crazy good ice cream!

Fun Times with Rissy and Dreads












These pics were taken a week ago today. Leah, Carissa, and I were just kind of hangin around the hotel grounds and these photos are the outcome. We then decided to take the rover on a little road trip to Santa Cruz. Quite an interesting trip! We didn't exactly make it...but that's a whole other story. The only picture i have of that excursion is the calf and cow.

What A Week!

Pyramid Fun!

Ariel, Dannissa, Alejandra, and Heber!

Oh my goodness.... this week has flown by. During the week i stayed very busy learning how to plan lessons, teach classes, and grade tests! I did have a very relaxing, chilled weekend though, to recuperate! I spent most of yesterday and today outside by the lake which was absolutely awesome. The view of the lake and the surrounding mountains is incredible! The pictures I have taken so far definitely don't do it justice! I'll have to take some good shots from the bridge and post them soon. But anyhoo... the kids at the school and in my class are so totally sweet! I have fallen in love with all of them! We made a human pyramid on Wednesday (I think that's what day it was.. i dunno.. it's a bit of a blur)! And the photos of the donkey (Clementine) were taken this evening. She just kind of wanders around the property in search of grub! The other teachers here are awesome! They are lots of fun to be around and just definitely my kinda chicas!

Pop workin hard in my room

I am all moved into my new room in Golden and Michael's house! Avalon was nice enough to give up her bedroom for me, and I am so blessed by all of them being willing to make me a part of their familia! While Dad was here he put up some sweet shelves for me to hang all of my clothes on. They are working great Pop! Muchas gracias! School starts on Monday and I am so excited to meet all of the kiddos!
