Taipei, Taiwan

We are almost there! In just a few hours Carly and I will be wandering around Bangkok trying to find our new home. Our flight was good... the food was a little wierd, but they had amazing blankets and little down pillows ... so the food issue didnt even matter. I slept most of the time and Carly watched episodes of Lost on her computer. I still feel like im in America... I don't really know when I will feel like I'm gone. Im excited to get there and see what we are really doing ... where we are living, and who we are working with. Hopefully we will have internet service when we get there so we can let you know all about our new home, and of course that we made it there safely.

Im sure that I miss you if you are reading this.

The Past

So ... life has been pretty non-stop, and it is about to get a lot busier. I am going to do my best to post often from now on... especially since I will soon be out of the country... Over the last few weeks I feel like I have done so much... I house sat in Redlands... I was in Mark and Megan's wedding (which was beautiful), I have been working five days a week (sweet little twin babies), and I have been getting ready to spend three months in Thailand.

This past weekend I went to Brawley with Adrian... that is where he is from. It was so hot. I don't know if ive ever been in heat like that before. I had a great time while I was there, I really do enjoy spending time with his family. On sunday we went to a Dodgers/Padres game... Dodgers won 5-0 and lets just say his Dad was not happy... they are all Padres fans.



So yea... life has been busy, really good, but very busy.

its official

I have been attempting to start a blog for a few months, and today I figured out my password... I don't know why it was so hard to do before since it is the same one that I use for everything.

My summer has been quite the mix. I have lived in many different places, worked a lot, worked a little, taught in Rwanda, gotten burnt, been to MANY friend's weddings, and even became a girlfriend.
Right after school ended I left to Rwanda for three weeks. While I was there I taught university students about Social Justice and Advocacy. It was AMAZING. I taught two different classes, my first one focused on AIDS prevention and awareness, and my second focused on poverty as a consequence of genocide. It was such a blessing to be there, and to be a part of the Lord's work with rehabilitating the country.

I am currently house sitting in Corona... for a lady that I used to nanny for. I forgot how lovable a house is... i miss having one. Because that nanny job came to a end I started nannying for another mom in Riverside. What a blessing that job has been. I work with two 9 month old BABIES... Gavin and Arianna... they are beautiful.
As for becoming a girlfriend... many of you know about my mystery flowers... well... they turned into a weekly thing, which kinda came with the addition of a boyfriend... Adrian Martinez... my Mexican man...
