Well, a very long week has gone by. It started with the death of our friend’s child and it just kept dragging and continuing. Monday morning, after I had not slept at all on Sunday night, I went to work. I had told my class I would make them Pupusas so they could see how they were done.I took everything to class and made them. I then went to my next class out at Tinker, then home. I spent the afternoon on the phone planning meals and other needed services, did Landry for the family, then went on to my evening class. |

How do I start to describe my week so far? On Sunday, we went to church in the morning as normal, and then had friends over after church. One family had come earlier and they were almost through eating (I had made Pupusas) when the second family called and said they had to go help someone move. I told them to just come anyway and that they could eat real quick and then take our Suburban with the boys and go help the other family move. Soon after they left, the phone rang and Elizabeth answered it. |

It snowed last night and was icy so the college did not start classes until 10 am. My class is at 9 am. In other words, I did not have class today. Yea! I just stayed home. I still woke up early and read for a while. I just finished, “Killing Lincoln” by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard and now I am reading, “To Try men’s Souls” by Newt Gingrich andWilliam R. Forstchen. Both books are hard to put down and are excellent. I am making Felipe, my 17 year-old read both. I then recruited Fito and a friend who is staying with us, Jorge, to help me rearrange furniture. |

I had to write about our New Year's experience. We went to Houston and had such a strange and wonderful time. We stayed with Douglas and Ary, and guess what...their water heater broke the day before we got there. They took cold showers, but not me. I said, if I had to, well okay, but I have too many friends in Houston to be taking a cold shower. We ended up going to Ary's parents and as always they were so gracious and hospitable. Fito and I then went to visit some friends that we hadn't seen for some time. |

We are in Houston right now visiting with family and friends. We came down yesterday. We only have Tony (he came from Fort Leonard Wood late Thursday night), Felipe, David, and Elizabeth. Matthew, Benjamin, and Maria all stayed in OKC as they all had work. Fito and I stayed with Douglas and Ary. Celeste (2 years old) and I have been watching Wee Sing videos today (a gift from us) and dancing. She wants me to hold her to dance. We opened presents with them last night and she is at that perfect age for Christmas. |

Another week and come and gone…and what a week! I worked on a big training that I actually did today, and it went really well, except that I probably over prepared. I had too much content. Next time, I will do less content/theory and will have more activities to make the content more practical to them. It went really well (at least it seemed that was) we will see what the evaluations say… We also put up Christmas decorations on Saturday. Elizabeth and Rebeca helped me and they are amazing helpers so it went up quicker than in years pass. |

ShareFor Thanksgiving this year, Idid something completely new. I made aSpanish turkey, a ham, andPupusas. I have never made Pupusas for Thanksgiving, but we had three sets of missionaries coming and they wanted Pupusas. I had made everything earlier in the week and we had had Pupusas that night for dinner, then I saved the rest for Thanksgiving. I also took a can of crushed Pineapple and about 1/2 cup of brown sugar and added that to the water (I always add about 1 inch of water to the pan) when I bake a ham. |

ShareWell it is early in the morning and I cannot sleep for all the stuff that is going through my mind. I keep telling myself that those things aren't important- that I need sleep- but my mind refused to listen. I finally got up, did some cleaning, looked at politics on-line for awhile and then decided I might as well Blog for awhile. Life just keeps getting busier and busier. Some of it is good busy, but some of it is irritating busy. |

It’s been three weeks since I wrote anything and so much has happened. First of all, the house is almost finished. The stucco is done and it is incredible. I am waiting to take pictures as the roof is not done. Perhaps, one more week and the roof will be done. It was supposed to be done over two weeks ago, but things just keep happening…which of course, has meant more and more money for different supplies. I had put some money down on a stove and a double oven as we thought we were going to have enough insurance money left over to redo the kitchen, but that is not going to happen now. |
