Iakwe and hello... This weekend has been great. Friday night the five of us went out to celebrate the end of Phase II, and the end of our first week of school. We ended up getting chocolate milkshakes from one place and being severly disapointed and so I being the brave one...LOL decided that we should go somewhere else and only pay for what we already did enjoy...a pepsi and a bottle of water...Long story short we left and got higher quality chocolate milkshkes with a little Baileys if you know what I mean...mmmmmmmmm It was a lot of fun. Saturday morning Emily Two and I walked the islands....we left at 8am and walked til noon before turning back... because the way an atoll is formed you can walk from one island to the next during low tide. It was way cool and I was glade to be doing it I have lived here a year and it was my first time. Being able to see the waves breaking on the ocean side, the blue lagoon and the clear blue sky all at once was pretty crazy. On our way back we ended up stopping at the Dartmoth volunteers house which is on the island of Edjit. They were way nice and when we left they pointed us in the best direction to get back to the island of Majuro....but because the tide was coming in...Emily and I had to walk in water up to our chest with our backpacks on our head. I lost a zorrie in the prosses and was glad that I had broght a pair of watershoes...we got back to our house ok...exept for a few stairs from the locals...two white people walking down the road driping wet...one of them wearing one water shoe and one Zorrie...( The water shoes hurt my feet in the first place becaue they were a little small...other wise I would have just worn both water shoes) I also have to complain about Banana boat sunscreen. I put it on once before we left and then reaplyed THREE times, but the back of my neck is FRIED. So go figure. It was worth it. and I would like to do it again, next time I would like to try to go even farther...maybe I'll have to wear a scarf???
Love you and miss you. Less then 5 months til I get to see my folks and less then 9 months until this is over...

less than nine months...but don't wish away your days
miss you
Good morning little brother! I am at work - of course as it is Monday morning, September 11th. I hung a flag off my balcony this morning, which is against our covenant but I say today marks an exception. All is well in CO. Shannon and i leave Friday for GA to visit our Dad and Annie for his 60th birthday. I have mixed emotions, but look forward to a trip with Shannon. We rented a car in GA so we will have a little more freedom than usual. We tried for a hotel room but it fell thru. Your weekend sounds FUN!!!!! I would have LOVED making that land/water trek with you, sounds like something right up my alley! Being land locked here is not always fun! I remember when we used to visit florida in the Summers, Annie and I walked to the pier once from our condo, although you could see the pier on a clear day it was like 6+ miles away, we walked until we got there and then turned back, I had a sever burn that day as well. Keep it moisturized - your neck I mean, and you will be fine. Maybe a larged brimmed hat will help on your next adventure. Need me to send one? I love you and the blog was good to read, I know Mom and Dad are excited about their visit. I love you!
Hello, How fun. Can't wait to experience that for myself. Have a great week. Love, MOM and DAD xxxxxxxooooooo
I do feel special that I made it to one of your blogs! So sorry I didn't check earlier. My email address is liza.manjarrez@villanova.edu.
I'm loving the new job with the Freshman :) I'm on an all girls floor, but there is this one guy who kind of lives here too. He studies here, is here when the girls aren't even home, has his name on the door, etc. The entire hall loves him...hmmm...sounds like a certain someone I know ;)
It's a little odd not to be teaching little kids, but I'm getting use to it (there are a lot less hugs).
Hey! Nine months...no way! Hmm...so does that mean you can have visitors now?
Have fun at school Mr.Montoya :)
Hi Unky!!
