hotel to home

lo siento, still no photos. for now this blog is the style of a mass email updating on the happenings, but soon enough, pictures attached to interesting stories will be abundant. if living abroad taught me anything the first time, it's patience. we're one day shy of arriving in guatemala and although some things feel slow moving, others feel warp speed. we're still in the awesome hotel with high speed internet, free breakfast, clean sheets, maid services & all western amenities, but we're ready to move into our new home and start real life. however, school has very much started and moving quickly! i have 24 kids on my ESOL (english for speakers of other languages) list, and 3 on my LRC (learning resource center) list. the list of 24 kiddos are all first and second grade, and the 3 others are in eighth grade. needless to say, i have my hands full, but these kids are so adorable and amazing! we did hear back about our offer to rent the apartment with the terrace, and it was approved:)! i'm not sure how long the paperwork will take to go through, but we're pretty excited to think that we got what we wanted (and it has a guest bedroom). lastly, we are headed to the beach this weekend with coworkers and both ben and i are really excited to see a bit of the country side. it's there that we will take pictures and share stories. another thing moving very quickly is ben's spanish! that's all for now...
