Running thoughts

This is Lariza, I think she is so beautiful and she didn't want her picture taken. Alot of the kids are like that. We have so much fun hanging out and playing together.

Ok so I have been super busy this past week and have been very tired. I fell asleep during movie night on Friday with Paul in my lap and Rosario asleep next to me. Saturday morning I had to cover the Chispas house from 6am-12. Took a quick nap had lunch then spent the afternoon with some friends at the mall. Later met other firends for a really late dinner and an awkward party. Ha! Was so tired when we left and fell right to sleep. Woke up today for church and after lunch took a 3.5 hour nap! It was amazing, but I am suffering now because everyone is asleep and I cannot get to sleep. Thanks nap. Now tomorrow I will be tired, and I have Kevin in the morning and working with him is very tiring in itself. I am sure I will be fine, but lying in bed I have started to think. I sometimes wish I couldn't think. I have been thinking about how strange we all are here in the alburgue. We all have our on little quirks and weird things about us. Even the kids. I personally think it is being in these walls all week long. But I do love it even inside the alburgue's walls. :)

I have most recently been thinking about home and Jackson and things I thought I wouldn't miss or didn't miss at first.

1. Running with friends - we walk on the dunes here

2. Playing in the park with Kasey and our amazing yet sometmes lame bonfires

3. Dance parties with my girls - dancing here is so much different

4. Eating sandwiches ALL the time - we eat a TON of rice everyday

5. Tanning - I have the sun here but I miss my tanning bed and the people I love there
