A Trip to the Salon...

This weekend has started off great! Yesterday (friday) was mother's day here in Nica and we had a big family get together at our house here. It was fun. All the family was here and it was just a good time to laugh and hang out with family. It reminded me a lot of times with my own family at home...good times, always! My uncle is here from Miami and I thought that would be a good oppurtunity to relate with someone from the states...however, it was just the opposite. I won't elaborate on here, because this blog can be accessed by anyone, but you can ask me about it sometime.

The night ended for me at midnight! Crazy, because I usually am in bed by 8:30 or 9. So I was definitely sleepy and excited for a saturday of sleeping in...

However, this was not the case. I was awaken by a special someone who had a cupcake for me before he headed off for the group trip to Masaya. What a sweetheart : ) It would have been nice to sleep in, but this was definitely a nice surprise!

So after getting myself out of bed and showered my mom comes home from a meeting and says that I can go with her to the salon. I wasn't really expecting to get anything done, so I didn't take any money. Once we arrived my mom said she was going to pay for me to get a pedicure! It was great! We've been doing so much walking that my feet were so thankful for the TLC. My little sister also came with us and she got her fingernails painted. It was all-around girl's day. And we had a blast. I even read the magazine "Vanity"...in spanish! My sister kept doubting that I was able to read and understand everything. I don't think that the quite understand that my speaking may be rather weak, but writing and reading come a lot easier : )

It was interesting going to the salon with my mom and sister, because a few days before I left the states, my mom, sister and I all hit up the salon. So it was a little bit of dejavu!

So, it's been a fun day! And now I am ready to hit the hay, because tomorrow morning I am going to a soccer game at 8 am and then heading to the beach for the day! Yay. I am super excited about that...hope there's not another hurricane!! : )

Adios,

I still don't know about service, but we had meetings with doug the other day and he told me and Lindsey Beck that we would be placed together somewhere, so I am REALLY happy for that. We will probably be working with kids in some form...maybe an orphanage or school setting. We'll see. And I'll let you ASAP!
