The Beach!

I have decided, as you can see, to update this thing despite the technical difficulties I am having. A lot has been going on recently, both at the school and outside of it. Last weekend, me, Nathaniel, and 2 of our friends (amanda and amanda) FINALLY got to go the beach!!! I planned the whole trip, since it was my turn, and I decided we should go to a remote carribbean beach. I chose a remote place because it gets you out away from the pollution so the water actually looks blue, not brown. It was SO beautiful. You can see pictures on my facebook account. The best part was that the weather channels all said it was supposed to rain, but praise the Lord, it turned out to be a gorgeous day!

At school, things are down to the normal daily grind. We are about 1/2 way through partial 3, and its nothing out of the ordinary. I let my kids watch Cars (the movie) this week, but this time with English subtitles instead of Spanish. It was cool to see them translate phrases they knew, and get excited because they could understand something.

Personally, I've been having a good time here. It was great to get our of sigua for a weekend and see something new again. We also recently discovered that Sigua has a great public pool, so we will definitely be hitting that up from now on! March is going to be a busy busy month, with having to take a trip to Belize to renew passports, My parents visiting for Semana Santa, Nathaniel's parents visiting the week after that, etc etc. I Can't wait!!
