Feeling a little homesick...

I knew this day would come eventually...and today was the day.

Tonight I am feeling a bit better. But I was just pretty homesick all day. I think it's because I know of all the festivities that are going on at home with graduation and such! So much stuff to miss out on...yet, I am gaining so much here. And I need to remember that, too : )

Everything was getting to me today. Especially when I wasn't able to converse with people and my family. And ESPECIALLY the cat calls when I walk down the street. I know most of the time it's a cultural thing...but sometimes I understand what the guys are saying and it's just completely inappropriate. Ugh, I just need to start ignoring all of it.

I think the weekend just got kind of long. And at this point we are halfway through the study part of the program so the routine has been kind of monotonous. I am ready to find out my service project and start looking forward to that! Hopefully, we find out our assignments this week. I'll keep you posted.

So that's all the update I have for now. I am feeling better...but just needed to get some of that frustration out. I'll keep you posted about service! Buenos Noches!



Congratulations BCHS class of 2008! And special shout out to my brother. I am so proud of you. All grown-up!! love you!

Alli we miss you too! Take advantage of your time there. Once the real world arrives on your door step, experiences like SST don't show up very often.

Alli ~ Just know that we're all missing you a lot and keeping you in our prayers! In the whole scheme of life, this is such a small portion of it, but will have a profound impact on your life...make it a positive experience. Keep smiling - you're beautiful! Why else would you be hearing cat calls?

Hi Sweetie! Life is just ho-hum around here. You're really not missing anything exciting ... no broken bones, burns, graduations, nothing ... so don't be too homesick. :)

Love you!
