SO CLOSE..

Oh how i can't wait to go home...it is getting so close now...only 8 days til I'm making my way back up to the snowy north :) I hope the pond is freezing up well for my skating party. Neways life down here right now has been absolutely insane to say the least. This week has been long and combined with a sore neck and the start of a cold I have been feeling miserable. I even came home yesterday afternoon, only to get to sleep til 2:30 and then went back for soccer practice. I know I am a gluton for punishment, but it is tryouts right now and I didn't want to leave Naomi with all the 21 girls trying out.
neways like I said I am excited for this week to be over...only 2 days left, sadly which also means less days to get last minute shopping and errands done before we leave. You can check out amy's blog to find out how our adventure went as we tried to get our Honduran driver's licences. What a whirlwind tour that was...complete with the psycho STabbing of our fingers to find out our blood type. Don't think I will EVER forget now that I am A+.
Ok well this is all for now as my head is pounding.
Take care and will hopefully see most of you very soon.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY VENESSA - belated by a day or two :) better late then never right ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIA - hope you had a super day and a great breakfast. So wierd that I was going to bed and she was having breakfast when I called lastnight. Guess thats Africa for ya....a world ahead (or at least 9 hours).

Spanish Milestone and more.......

Yes its true...when you've been living in Honduras it becomes quite the accomplishment when you finally successfully order your first pizza delivery all on your own IN SPANISH! Yes I did it last night as Amy and I were starving for something to eat. So exciting when it actually arrives and you find they got your order correct...guess it is hard to go wrong with Pepperoni...but it tasted all the sweeter knowing you ordered it totaly in Spanish hahaha...sad i know that its taken me 3 years to get up the nerve to try it.

Ok well another big first is happening this weekend too. I am cooking my first turkey complete with stuffing! It was decided that we did not get enough turkey from the school's thanksgiving dinner so we needed to try making our own :) It seems to be turning out quite well...the bird is still cooking..hopefully will be done soon b/c amy's mashed potatoes are done and ready to devour!! We are still waiting on our other guests, Clinton and Tara (who are bring a green bean casserole) and Jenna and Aben (who are bring Dessert). Oh I can't wait to eat. I"ll have to post pictures of our spread, and decore later. Our apartment looks quite festive now. So ready for the Christmas season! Means its getting so close til I get to go home and see my family and friends who I miss so much! And who can forget the play time in the snow!!!

Alrighty well I won't rush it...I"m going to enjoy every minute down here.
pics to come soon.

And here they are...
First and foremost our beautiful bird which tasted perfectly splendid!! If I do say so myself;)



This is Amy and I showing our excitement at how well it turned out :)
