Look at me Mom, I'm blogging!

Oooh! Ooh! Two posts in one month! Now I'm really going!

So, I'm in Idaho Falls for a month, working the Mary Kay business a little more. We are still going for the car by our anniversary - April 21. We think it is doable, especially with me not being in a class in the spring.

Speaking of class, I still don't know what my final grade was or really even if I passed. I don't know why this class was so much harder that my undergrad, or even my master's that I did in night classes, but it was. Maybe because I didn't know anybody. Maybe because ever part of me detested being there. Maybe both.

So, today is Saturday, and next Friday Eric and I will go down to Salt Lake, then fly out early early Sunday morning with Mom and Eric to go to Venezuela! Can you all believe it?!! My mom is going with us to Venezuela!! Honestly, it is really incredible the way things change. I still can barely believe that I ever went to venezuela, AND that I went so far as to MARRY someone from there, and now even my MOM is going there - to South America! Crazy!!!

But, it is true. So, we leave Boise on Friday, December 20 something, and we will fly back in to the country on January 6. We will speak some spanish and eat arepas and caraotas in the middle. My husband is in seventh heaven right now, thinking about going back. God Bless him for having been away from his family for over a year so that he could be with me. He deserves this trip.

So - to my adoring fans (all three of you) - have a very wonderful holiday season and a splendid New Year! I promise to take lots of pictures.
