So what is up with us !

Hey all,
Know it has been awhile....we are still busy bees and this past week we went out of town to a city called Matagalpa to practice teach in a public high school there. This was probably one of the scariest things I have ever done--you know going to a new city in a foreign country walking into a classroom you have never seen before teaching students you have never seen before etc. but--BUT we all did it and did it successfully! Matt and I worked with an incredibly nice Nicaraguan counterpart named ALFREDO and we taught 7th 8th and 9th grades. It was interesting to say the very least, and also matt and i co-taught one class together--it was super fun to see Matt teach and to have him there to observe my classes too! 2 of our bosses also popped in from time to time to observe us teach. Matt and I ended up sharing our school with the other married couple because something happened at their school to where they could not teach ---so we referred to our last day of classes on Thursday as DOUBLE DATE day ---and it was great to see them teach as well.

I was a lil sick during the week but am healing quite nicely, poor Matty ate something that got him pretty good over the wknd and he was pretty sick at my house but he is now also doing better---so all you mama s out there dont worry!!!!

Matty and I celebrated --one---of our anniversaries on Saturday the 23rd by going together to a town called Masaya and drinking fruit shakes and eating pizza ----maybe the pizza is what got him! he surprised me with a necklace he managed to buy in the park when I wasnt looking!!! We also watched a slideshow from our AWESOME celebration at Pedernales FALLS and the Bowling Alley extravaganza---man oh man we have INCREDIBLE FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

We find out where we live on Friday for the next 2 years! For now it is , co planning and co teaching, translating my resume, preparing a charla for our youth group and working on our teacher taller and we still have Spanish class everyday!!! aiy yai yai! Love you guys!!!!

Please continue to stay in touch and let us know what you are up to!!!! we LOVE hearing from you!!!!
