there is something about being in a foreign country that just will always continue to surprise me, no matter where it is really, i feel like this will always continue to happen for me.


let me give you a few examples...
our bus driver emilio, kisses me on the cheek constantly and tells me how fabulous my spanish is. can you say charmer? did i mention he is the age of my grandpa and it totally builds my self confidence so i'm not complaining.


people literally cross the highway here. like imagine running across 75, the tollway, 35...well the roads in costa rica are exactly the same here, and men run across 4 lanes, straddle the median to climb over and then wait until there is an "open space" to continue their death run to the other side...all with a smile on their face


being put out of your comfort zone is always a good thing, even if its scary the day before you have to leave and you complain to all your friends about how you dont want to go and how nervous you are. ;) thanks to all the people that love me so much and just smile and pray for me. i know my  (or what i make into problems) are in the scheme of things nothing but im still so grateful for you and your prayers.


you can still learn something from a 17 year old. or a lot of things.


now, i'm just going to continue watching project runway in spanish and read my weird jodi picoult book.


most random post ever? maybe. but sometimes i feel like i just need to write stuff down so i can see how He continues to work in my life and how GOOD he is. through the funny, insightful, life changing stuff, He is good.
