Small Notes

Pancho and I have been married for three months today!  And it certainly seems longer than three months right now...  A lot has happened in the last few months. 

Right now we are in our apartment.  We've been here for almost two weeks, but it's taking time to put things together.  We just got our internet over the weekend.  Things are coming along bit by bit.

I am feeling much better.  I can start working out soon.  :)

I start working with the Paulinas in a few weeks.  One of the sisters is sick and they want to be well so that they can be present when I start there.

I've been driving!  It is certainly different than the US.  It seems like most of the rules here are more like suggestions- I've seen plenty of people jump the lights if there's no one coming from the other direction, driving the wrong way on one way streets, and not quite driving within the lines on the road.  The roads are quite bumpy, there's only a few streets that are nicely paved.  And there's a lot of speed bumps.  You just have to learn where things are drive accordingly.  I'll learn the ways of the road soon.  Everything here is a lot closer than it is in Orlando, though, so it's nice to not have to drive far distances.

The Battle of Cinco de Mayo occured here in Puebla.  I hadn't been to the forts yet, but we went this Sunday.  We were not there for very long and didn't see much, so we're planning on going again sometime soon when we have more time.  I'm looking forward to it.  :)

 My Spanish classes are over, but I'm going to take one in the fall semester which starts Aug. 20th. 

That's about it for right now. :)

View of the volcanoes from our apartment.  Some days it is so clear and you cannot believe how big they are and yet you cannot see them most days.  It kind of reminds me of God, He is so big and nearby but we cannot see Him, but every now and then He clears the skies and and you are in shock with how present He is and you don't even know it.
