Despedidas y Una Amiga!!!

To translate.....going away parties and a friend!!!

I always knew March was going to be a busy month. And a sad one! I leave in 19 days from the Ranch. It is breaking my heart, but I am truly savoring every moment...it's almost hard to decide where and who to spend my time with as I know the opportunities to spend time with these people on a daily basis is coming to an end.

On Saturday, we had a Despedida (going away party) here on the Ranch for 4 people...Me, another former teacher, Jesse, and a couple, the Mallasch's. All of us are leaving (the couple already has left) the ministry this month...and so the party was a good time of all getting together, playing some softball, and just enjoying fellowship.

This week, last friday, my friend Tammy came to visit me and the Ranch! It's been so fun to have her here again. She was my roommate when i first moved to the Ranch, and we have continued to stay in touch, even though she left the Ranch after being here for 3 years...and has been living in IL now for the past year and a half.

The pictures are from the Despedida mostly...and some of Tammy.

¡¡¡¡I AM SURE GONNA MISS THESE FACES!!!!

nothing much new!

I thought i would write a quick post, even though there really isn't much new right now. ..here are some of my thoughts:

**I'm glad I'm not super sick anymore....tired yes, sick no!

**I'm sure gonna miss these kids...

**I am so thankful for the less-rainy weather upon us. Although the windchill is a bit chilly still!

**I just made an awesome peppermint brownie torte ...yummm ...3 layers of brownies, a layer of a whipcream/creamcheese/mint extract and then a layer of chocolate whip cream! can you say double-yum???

**I finally have my ticket to fly up to Ceiba. Yes, I'm flying. Why...well i don't feel like getting into Ceiba way at night like i could if i took a bus, and also i get really impatient on busses, and honduras is playing a big game that night and i don't want to miss it ;)

**It took forever to get my ticket to fly up to Ceiba...cuz the comp. froze as i was buying it online so i didn't know if it had gone through or not. Thanks to a bi-lingual 15 year old here on the ranch, who called the airlines for me and got it all straightened out....i now for sure have a ticket AND confirmation number....!

**I think that's about all for now :)

Blessings on your day!
