Last update - Nov. 2010
Where have I been and what have I been doing? I cannot believe that it has been 14 months since I last updated this blog. Once again, I will attempt to be better. I figured the best way to catch up on 14 months was to post one picture from each of those months to give you an idea of what has happened!
November 2011 - This was actually from Oct. 30. Two of my dear friends were married and we had quite the time celebrating.
December 2010 - The family and I headed to Belize to celebrate Christmas. We had a white Christmas, just not the traditional snow covered plains, we spent it laying out on the white sand beaches of Caye Caulker! We had a great time snorkeling, walking on sandy streets, and eating roasted pig!
January 2011 - My old roommate, Randi Johnson, came down for a friends wedding and to be here for New Years. It was great to reconnect with her. We had lots of fun star gazing on the roof, seeing friends, and making new memories.
February 2011 - Inter American School Staff retreat at Irtra! This is always such a treat to have a day off school and be treated to a beautiful time relaxing with my colleagues.
March 2011 - Four day weekend at Monterrico. This is the 'nicest' beach in Guatemala. We were able to release baby turtles into the pacific.
April 2011 - Spring break in London with Mamaw, Emily and Mom.
May 2011 - Spending time with the Brodbecks (Diane and Michael pictured). They are a big part of my experience here. Lots of laughs and good times are always had when we get together.
June 2011 - Time at my mom's on Lake Bisteneau is always a treat. This year we had a few visitors that made the trip extra special. Good thing we ended up not going under!
July 2011 - This summer was filled with many friends and family. I was fortunate that I was able to visit the Hargetts. (After trying to sum up the summer in two pictures, I have realized that I will have to write an additional blog just about summer 2011).
August 2011 - Another Guatemalan wedding of two of my close friends. I am blessed to have such a close group of friends.
September 2011 - Guatemalan independence day is September 15. We had a 4 day weekend so Nicole, Diane and I decided to head to Lake Atitlan. It was a fantastically beautiful day!
October 2011 - I attended an educational conference in Panama City, Panama and I was able to come in a few days early for a nice dive at Coiba National Park. Incredible diving with tons of sharks!
November 2011 - I moved out of my apartment that I had lived in for three years. I traded in a loud church, crowded parking and a downtown location for this view, a yard, and wonderful night noises and star gazing!
December 2011 - Christmas at Lake Bisteneau is always full of adventures. Richard (my sisters boyfriend) and I tried our hands at frying a turkey. The results were delicious, the process was a little messy!
January 2012 - January gets two pictures because I had two wonderful thing happen during this month. My mom and sister came to celebrate my 29th birthday with me. Also, I got my precious dog, Vos.
I am going to try to be better about updating this blog. I will intermittently fill in holes from the 14 months that I missed. I have some great stories and many more pictures to post! I hope you all are doing well!
