1 year anniversary

I made it half way...YAY!

It's definitely been a tough year, but also one of the most amazing and eye-opening year's of my life thus far. Ok ok, that's sufficient cheesyness.

Things have been going well the past few months and I've been staying extremely busy. About 25 volunteers got together for Thanksgiving a few days a ago and we all had a wonderful time. We decided to do that traditional going around the table and saying what we're grateful for, which again, although cheesy, was really touching and wonderful. It was especially nice to have volutneers from up north, the new volunteers down in my region, Lima 3rd year volunteers, and other US friends/family memebrs all share the day together.

Today is the anniversary of my town and my host-mom's birthday as well...basically there's a lot to celebrate. It's definitely nice to just relax and blow off some steam for a little while. Next week I'll be in Lima for the whole week to get 1 year medical check ups (I really hope my teeth are ok, I've not heard good reports from the Health volunteers). After that I'll have 2 weeks at site to try and get a lot accomplished and then I fly to Michigan for a week!

I would say that's the summary of recent events. If you have Facebook, check out recent pictures I posted. That's another way to see what I've been doing work-wise (yes, I do actually work).

I hope all is well state-side. Cuidense!
