Time spent with Family is the best!!

Here is some pictures of our vacation, during Holy Week. If you ever visit Latin America. You will learn that the week before Easter is called Semana Santa in Spanish. During that week, most of the people have it off. It is considered a holy time and the people do not work.

We were able to have Andy's Parents come down and visit, during this time. They had never left the country so it was a little vacation from school for us. And a vacation from work in Iowa for them. Here are some of the wonderful pictures from the beaches of Costa Rica.

Costa Rica is full of wonderful beaches on both sides, it takes about 5 hours to get to them. But they are well worth it. These are some views from where we stayed. It was gorgeous.


I think the best part of the trip for Andy and I was to be able to spend time with family. My parents and sister and brother will be coming down to visit and I am so thankful. We played a lot of cards and just enjoyed being with one another.
We went into the jungle for a zip line ride, where you ride through the jungle and get to see the canopy. Andy zip lined upsided down, and so did I. Just KIDDING!!
This is one of my favorite pictures. Just Andy and his dad!!

Lastly the picture of God's beautiful creation from our porch... Well, that is about it.
Back to school for us, but this was a wonderful time that i won't soon forget...

Time on the beach

Just spending some really good time with Tom and Norma on the beach here in Costa Rica
I will update with pictures later!

Stressed out!

Ok,
I am feeling a little stressed out.
Their is a list of things piling up that i need to get done.

But I thought instead I would blog..

I read a blog the other day, where the person talked about being content in all situations. Well that has not been me lately. I have been rather Sour to say the least.

SO i am going to only write a list of Pro's. Because although i do have a huge list of con's, my list of negatives is so far less than what it could be and my positve list is very long and could be a lot longer. I need to learn to be content. AND trust me, living over 2000 miles away from your family, friends and people who speak English has made that TOUGH!!!

But I know there are so many others who have it rough. And I need to learn to be content in all situations. With little or with lots, with a car and without a car. Basically this is a lesson I constantly am learning. And surprisingly it has changed, when i moved over seas.. I have become more grateful, but i tend to forget. So i read Phillipians 4:10-13, and i need to write, because it is a way for me to remember!!

Pro's:

Wonderful God who loves me and believes in me, and forgives me!!

Wonderful Husband who loves me and supports me!

Wonderful family who I see frequently on the internet, and Thank God for that.

Nice apartment, that is fully furnished!!

Wonderful Friend, who speaks English, who I run with frequently, and listens to me when I vent.

I am ALIVE! I can see, walk, talk, run, smell, taste, hear!!! I take these for granted every day!

I am healthy, and so is my family!

They have chocolate chips, good milk, good food here and cable t.v. with English Channels!

I will some day be fluent in another language!

The weather is almost perfect every day!

I am an educated woman, who is a registered Nurse.

My family is educated and Alive!!!
I will be going to the beach next week with my mom and dad-in-laws!!!

I am completely blessed beyond my understanding!

So, really my headache is gone, and no more complaining, and I feel happier!

And to top it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sweet mother is sending samoa cookies with Tom and Norma. SO on Thursday, i will be sinking my teeth into my favorite cookies!! Go Girl Scouts.
