weekend

This weekend was LOVELY.  I was exhausted at the end of Friday but, I still went to an Engagement party, a Photography event, and a Cheesecake tasting all in one night!  It was the busiest Friday that I've had in a while. I went on a hike on Saturday.  It was the first hike I'd been on in a long time.  Then, Sunday was spent with some friends tasting some delicious food.  I ended it all going to Church, then coming home to mentally prepare for a couple days of lead teaching.  The truth is that life is beautiful...

This was the view I woke up to on Saturday morning in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Lovely.

First snow day ramble...

I woke up today to see that it was snowing!! There is something so lovely and peaceful about snow. (As long as it doesn't stick around for 8 months like it does in northern Canada!) Anyway, it's cold out and I've been very sick for the past few days so, I wasn't up to go out and take some gorgeous snow pictures. I just got some really dull snow pictures just to show that there is snow. Not that you wouldn't believe me if I just told you there was snow, but it isn't the same. You know.

This also means that there is no school this afternoon because of a "snow-day". It's funny because different parts of the country have different levels of expectation for snow and what merits canceling school or work. I think that in Idaho they expect a little more than here. I remember people from other parts of Canada mocking the snow-days in Vancouver and yet, a snow day in Vancouver would be just an serious or more than a snow day in Idaho so, I think that the snow-day situation is relative to the amount of snow that you are used to seeing on a regular basis.

La Libertad

On Friday afternoon, Omar came into the office and said "Hannah, you know that we're leaving right?" I said, "Oh, no. Where are we going?" "We're going to lunch" he said. "Ok" I said as I grabbed my bag. We all got into the truck and headed off. We stopped to get gasoline and I asked Alba "Where are we going?" "To get lunch" she said. I realized that no one was going to tell me where we were going so I just enjoyed the ride (an hour or so) talking to Delmi and Ima.


Soon enough we arrived in a cute little town and the first thing that I see is THE OCEAN! I was so excited. We went into a little beach restaurant. It was great.

The girls and I walked out onto the beach (none of were quite dressed for the beach!) and enjoyed the sand and water. I love the beach! I love the waves and the sand! Ah, it was lovely! It made me really happy.


Maria Jose, Claudia, Ruth, & Delmi





Ruth and Maria Jose are the youngest at Cemujer. I love them. They're such fun to be around!
