Not Again

This week has been pretty normal, in some ways. Monday was very long for those of us who travelled over the weekend. We were all swamped with work and had very little energy, but we prevailed. Tuesday morning, I woke up with the stomach virus- YAY!! I stayed out of school for three days, hoping that the things would get done in my classroom. I was relieved knowing that my aid would be there to hold down the fort. Tuesday night I found out that she was out and would be for about a week because she had emergency surgery. Thankfully, two women substituted for me and did a fabulous job! They were great with the kids and taught to perfection.

Friday and Saturday were filled with ACSI conferences. We are all thankful that it is over, not that we did not enjoy it! :) On Saturday night, five of us went to the Sushi Bar downtown. This was mine and Aaron's second time there and the other three's first. Two of the three did not like the sushi they had eaten in the States. At the end of the night, however, they were ready to make this a monthly tradition (it is too expensive for our salaries to do more). Aaron and I were kind of proud of a successful night. We really love the Sushi Bar and the owner was extremely helpful this time!

Three prayer requests: First, that my stomach would get stronger and that my immune system would get stonger. Second, Aaron managed to break a rib in class the other day (don't ask), so please pray for healing and comfort with the pain. Third, please pray for my aid, Karla, that she would have a quick recovery. Tomorrow will be interesting without her! Thank you for your prayers! Love to all!

Rachel,
Are you crazy for eating sushi in Honduras? I will pray that your stomach gets stronger-but your're really testing it!

Ok, Rachel, mama said that was a mean post I made-I'm sorry! I was kidding, you know my good sense of humor! I am so sorry about Aaron's rib-I know about broken bones! I'm afraid to ask how it happened! Give us a call this week if you can-hope the sushi was delicious and safe!

Rachel and Aaron...I will not "jump on the band wagon" of Cat's comment. You know what I think of raw fish, but in Central America!!!! Papi

Rachel and Catherine,

Thanks for the great laugh this morning! I miss you both!

Rachel,

I hope your stomach feels better soon! We are praying for you all. When you get a free minute give us a call! We're not really sure when the best time would be. Tell Aaron that I know what it's like to have rib issues. Our little heavy weight, Anna Christine, kicked me in the rib while I was changing her diaper and fractured it a couple months ago. It was very uncomfortable. Hope he feels better soon!
