Things that i miss..

okay this is a picure of our old apartment.. And it is under the category of things i miss, because it had a DISHWASHER!!!!! and i know it is lame to people who have never had this luxury item, but yes it is true i miss it....
We have been here for about 3 weeks, and we are missing our GRILL !!! i missed grilled food. I miss BARBEQUE RIBS made by my dad... I miss them alot... Rice and Beans for this iowa girl, are just not workin... They are okay,, but thier is only sometimes i am in that kind of mood.....
Okay, these are really bad pictures of Andy and I . But what we want to show is how much we miss our nephews... Ethan is on top, and Jaden is on the bottom....
We miss our family lots and lots. We can't wait to see them at Christmas.... And you better believe that i will be chowin down on some barbeque....


Here is a list that Andy and i have thought of, just some funny things we miss:
Chlorox Wipes
Era
Walmart/ Target/ Jordan Creek mall.
Famous Dave's
Carpet!!!!
Fall
a car!!!!
working at the hospital!!!
Reagen, she was my hairstylist..
DES MOINES
Starbucks
and ENGLISH, english church, english lots of things..

I enjoy learning a different language, but it has it days where i hate it too..
I am so thankful for the friends we have made and the other group of missioneries here. They are very encouraging...Also i am thankful that i am not doing this alone.. God is with me everyday, he is my strength and Andy helps me a lot... I think that he can tell, when i hit my breaking point...

Also, i wanted to add, this week we went to a movie theater called the VIP.
We saw the movie The Bourne Ultimatum. This might be the coolest movie theater, that i or Andy have ever been too. You buy a ticket for the movie, which was 4 dollars a person, and then you enter the theater. The seats, are not normal seats, they are LAZY BOYS... And then you order your food of the menu, and servers come and bring you the food. Plus the film is in English. With spanish subtitles.. It was the funnest experience...

Anyway, it has been a pretty good week. We had 2 tests today.. And we think that we did pretty good. Also we got to watch Survivor and The Office.. on our t.v. here.. We have the Denver, Co. channels in English...

That is all for now, From COSTA RICA
