A Busy End of 2010
Pablo and I are loving being married! We are having a lot of fun together and learning more about each other each day. Pablo has been very busy studying. He took 9 classes this past semester and got all A's! He plays music at an Italian restaurant on Thursdays and Fridays and at any other gigs that he can do when he has free time.
I have 17 students this year in my 3rd grade class. They keep me very busy because I have many students with special needs. It has been a tough year so far, but I know God placed each one in my class for a reason. I am continuing to work on my masters through online classes by SPU. It keeps me busy and up late. Pablo and I spend the evenings studying- but at least we are together!
We have taken some time to rest and be with friends amidst studying. We had a 4 day weekend at the beginning of November and went to the beach with our friends Christy and Marcos. We drove 11 ours to the coast of Ecuador, and when we got there it was overcast the whole time. It was nice to get out of the city though and be with good friends.
November 11th was Pablo's birthday and I threw him a party with all of our friends. During the party I had a surprise show up- a mariachi band! It got the dance party started! Afterwards we went bowling. It was a great weekend celebrating Pablo.
We cooked our first Thanksgiving meal together and invited Pablo's family and some friends over. 15 people- what were we thinking?! It was an adventure cooking for that many for the first time, but we had a lot of fun making memories together.
The Lord blessed us with the opportunity to come home and be with my family for Christmas. It was a true gift because we needed to take time to rest and be refreshed. We were also able to go to a good friend's wedding on New Year's Eve with all of my friends. It was a beautiful wedding and so fun to be with old friends.
It is a new year and we are back to Quito tomorrow. Please pray that God prepares our hearts to return and gives us energy and wisdom to finish this school year. We love you all and are very thankful for your friendship and support. God bless you!
