I was on Grey's Anatomy!

Okay, not really.  BUT, the heart surgery I had in 2000 was.  I thought that was pretty cool.  Dr. Han told Christina she was doing a "Ross Procedure" and to give her an update periodically on the other case...yeah because the "Ross Procedure"  was cooler and needed the "real doctor".  Well, not really, the other case was more of the story line but whatever.  

How can I relate this to Antigua?  Umm, I can't but I don't really care.

Stay Heart Healthy!

It's just backwards!

A glimpse of my week...I had a really rough start to the work week.  The first three days were so very stressful.  Let me just tell you I went to work on Wednesday completely dreading it.  You know the days you just want to pretend you are sick so you don't have to go but then realize you're an adult and have to suck it up.  I made it through the day, came home, and started to get ready to go to the gym.  To my surprise, I had worn my clothes backwards at work ALL day and no one told me.  Granted it was only my shirt, but seriously I have friends at work, shouldn't they have told me?  When Tim got home I told him and after he laughed, he had the idea I put it back on backwards to see if it was obvious.  He totally thought it was.  Today was much better and all my "friends" got a great laugh out of it.  They all stand by the argument they didn't notice.  One said if she had she would have laughed hysterically.  Thanks Lumi...  ~smiles~

What does this have to do with Antigua?  Nothing except I am counting down the days!

Oh yeah, I got confirmation from the school so it's really a done deal now AND my friend Ashley may come visit while I'm there!  Yay!

As an update my day today was fabulous and I'm back to loving my job, it was only those three days.

***one of my preschoolers wore his pants backwards on Wednesday too.  Yeah, I'm not proud.

Flights-Check!

My flights are made!  Tim and I will go to Nicaragua for about a week and a half for our anniversary.  From there he will fly back to the states and I will make my way to Guatemala to start this little adventure.  I'll get there on July 6th 12:30 in the afternoon, their time.  I can't remember the time difference or I would tell you what time that is here.  I'm a little nervous about going through everything at the airport but I'm sure I'll be fine...right?  

Many have asked, "What's Tim going to do while you're gone?"  Tim's response:  "Work. Somebody has to pay for all this."  Awww, thanks honey!  Seriously he is so excited and encouraging of me going.  He's hoping the long extended trips travel bug bites me.  

It is confirmed, Rita is going too!  She arrives the same day and leaves a week before me.  Not sure how much we will see each other but isn't that great?

Now, I need to research where to go on weekend excursions....SO FUN!!!

***Looked up the time difference:  Because they did not have Daylight Saving Time in 2008 (not sure if they have it in other years) Guatemala is one hour behind Texas.

Passport-check!

Well, after only 9 days my new passport arrived!  Can you believe it???  I never expected it this quickly.  The lady at the post office told me it would take 3-4 weeks but nope.  I opened the mail today to this very nice surprise!

On another note, my friend Rita is looking into going at the same time.  I would be there a week longer than her and we wouldn't be staying with the same family but how fun would that be?
