Changing Faces

-
i am sitting here in an internet cafe in segunto, spain. this is the first time i´ve had such amazing access to the world wide web. only now i´ve seen what i´ve missed out on. i think this is going to be hard. i have best friends who´s weddings i´ve missed, i´ve got friends who are pregnant, i´ve got best friends who´s hair was cut shorter than i´ve ever seen it and she looks amazing, i´ve got friends who are no longer in college, i have friends who have their masters, i have friends who are in love or have been hurt. i missed it all. i´m afraid that i will just be so saddened like i am now that i missed it all. i don´t even recognize them in the pictures. my pulse started racing when i looked at the pictures of all my friends gathered around the bride and groom and i was off in some foriegn country. i hope this transition doesn´t hurt to much. i´m scared! please help me if you see me in the states and can tell i´m a bit lost. ease me back into your life. i don´t want to stay seperated forever. thank you to those of you who keept me up to date on the goings on of your life, and thank you to those of you who love me and are willing to let me back in your life even if i´m a bit lost.

Oops. I accidentally left a comment with your identity. I was going to say, just so you know, you haven't missed my wedding or pregnancy. :)

Hey me either. I am neither preggers or married! Woot woot for singlehood. Don't worry - you probably haven't missed all that much. 1 out of like 80 years. That is a mere drop in the bucket of life. Can't wait to have you back.

I would suggest the fastest way to get back into the lifestyle here is to forget the habit of running into the back yard and squatting.

Tales from an exile

Well today the majority of the students have been gone from the school leaving me and just a very tiny group of working students and green house workers to run the place. I must be honest I wasn't very excited about being left behind while everyone else went to an faraway land to do mission work. Especially because one group was going to Honduras, the very first place I lived outside of America. I would have LOVED to visit my old home at El Hogar de Ninos. But alas I was left here to 'run' things. After I saw the light of all the fun, Kaisa, Tiina and I could have I began to get excited. So now after a week I would love to tell you about our tales. All week I worked doing things from cataloging library books, covering new books, planning my recruiting trip through Scandinavia, cooking in the kitchen, taking the trash out and cleaning Solhoug down the hill. The days have been diverse enough and I have been able to listen to great music and books on tape. (a side note about t

I am on the move again. I know that I'm hard to get ahold of or that I'm always going somewhere new but this time I'm not. I'm going back to a place I've been before, a place that I have called home. I'm moving to Oakhurst, California. The town right outside the Southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. I am their new Kindergarden teacher. That's right, a bunch of little kids and I are going to learn together We are going to conquer the world of colors, numbers and letters. We will go where no other 5 and 6 year old have gone before! We will explore the outdoors, our imaginations and the world of knowledge. It is going to be grand. After I finish up here in Arizona I'm heading up and over, school starts in a little bit and I've got a classroom to prepare. God is good. "For I know the plans I have for you, "says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you hope and a future ." Jeremiah 29:1

Almost nearly perfectly content.

Tonight was great. I finally have my own kitchen and now I finally have my own food to cook. I went shopping yesterday (which will have to wait till the next story to tell about those adventures) and bought a few staple items. Included in those things was an avocado which I was given. I decided tonight to check that avocado for ripeness and found it to be the perfect time for it to be devoured. Then that's what I decided to do, I cut it up and put it on a plate. Then I realized I had nothing else to put on it. . . until it hit me like a speeding train, "I have onions I can put with it." Then I realized I can also put some of my diced tomatoes with it to to make a salsa. After mixing it all up and being ready to eat I realized something else. . . who would want to eat it just like this by itself. Here's where it gets really exciting. I got out my flour and salt and baking powder, mixed it in a bowl and made tortillas. It was fantastic. I haven't felt this self rel
