It's A New Day!

Whoopsi! I haven't written since February! How did that happen? Well, I've been a little distracted, as of late! But the distraction is over and I'm back to blogging again!!! Since way back when (February), I've gotten a house! Well, it's not mine, but I'm renting it! I love the little family that lives in front of me. They're my landlords, but are more like a family! For my birthday, they threw me a surprise party and it was so sweet. They didn't know how old I was turning, so they put a question mark candle on the cake! Hilarious! I was really lucky to have very generous people in my life who have loaned me furniture and all household appliances! I'm loaded up! I've got a full size bed, a fridge, a sofa, a table, a microwave....what else is there to need? I've been collecting cool art work from all across the country that I can finally display! I'll have to post some pictures of them! In work news, I've just now started my Level 2 Centro Cultural class! I love it! I'm going to be more strict this time around and use a lot less Spanish when explaining things! Oh, and in other huge news....It turns out that I have an osteochondroma aka a bone spur!!! In my knee!!! I went to Clinica Biblica in San Jose and they took some x-rays and there is this bone jutting out of my knee! It's crazy! So, I'll have to keep you posted on the next steps to resolve this issue!! Zuli is still adorable as always and has made new friends and now weighs 5.8 kilos! They grow up so fast! Oh, and Tico 19 (my group of Peace Corps Volunteers) has reached and now passed the halfway point of our Peace Corps service!!! I've now been in my community for close to a year! It's incredible! The time is just going so fast! I'll be sure to stay up-to-date on the old blog...at least once a month!!!




The art work in my kitchen! Brigitte's old host-mom made it!!!!


Can you see the bone? That is messed up!


My little birthday party! Zuli stealing all the attention!


20 sounds good to me!!!!

My new house before I moved all my stuff in it and got settled!!!
