Living for the weekend.

I pretty much live for the weekend nowadays. My weeks seem to be pretty action packed, and while I do enjoy them it is quite draining. I'm starting a new plan this week where I actually eat breakfast in the mornings. I'll let you know how it plays out. Oatmeal is my breakfast of choice and I just add a banana. It's good.

Jess, I think I figured out a way to view comments, so I actually saw yours. As for the coming home soon, it's looking like it won't be til June...which is kind of soon. You better chunk a weekend out for me. In fact anyone who takes the time to come to my blog and check it out should chunk a weekend out for me...or even a few days in the week. I'll be anxious to see faces and spend some QT with people. Wow, I'm getting too far ahead of myself. You still have 9 months before I arrive, so that's plenty of time to plan something exciting. Remember by that time it will have been about 20 months since I've been in America....it's crazy to think. I am in awe of people who live in a really remote place and don't return for like 4 or 5 years. They are my new heros.

I bought two cacti today. I'm naming them...but I'm not sure what just yet.

Keep it real.

The story of the ancestors.

I know it has been a long time since my last post, but sometimes it's difficult to sign into this thing. I still don't think I can view comments....but go ahead and leave them, because one day I'll be able to read them.

Life is going well. It really is, which surprises me most of the time. I don't remember a time in my life when I knew things were just good, until recently. I know things are just good. HE is really bringing lots of new thoughts and perspective to my life. I'm thankful for that.

My title is inspired by a journal entry one of my fifth graders wrote this week. On Friday, I give free journal and you can write anything to me. His was as follows:

I will talk about my ancestor's traditional symbol. According to the legend my ancestor was a dragon. They were living in a cave no one didn't know that. One day God made Dragons to people. My ancestor was so happy so they made a big rock of their history. It is in my ancestor's graveyard.

This is a taste of one of the 14 creative minds that are in my class this year. I'm really looking forward to see what the year brings. I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of fun. I can't believe I've been here almost a full year. The time has flown, but I'm really ready to see some friends and family. I miss you all!
