Closing in on lucky number 7...

So, on Valentine's Day this year I will have officially been in Costa Rica for SIX MONTHS! ahhhh. This is the longest I've ever been away from home, and I have definitely felt it at times. There have even been days when (gasp!) I miss snow. I know, it's nuts. But it's only for about 5 minutes and then it passes. :)
More so I miss my family and wonderful friends at home! I'm so glad I have made good relationships here, or I would be SO LONELy without you all! So thanks for being so awesome and keeping up friendships even though it's hard across thousands of miles! :) I couldn't do this without all your wonderful love and support! :)
So we're getting to know the students a little better, and they are all super sweet and fun! I love hanging out with them and getting to know them better as we spend more time doing activities like going to Limon (great trip! dancing, beach-ing..what more could you ask for?! :) and leaving for Nicaragua on Monday! Ayyyy! :) So we'll all be super-bonded after that trip for SURE! haha :)
We also had a bachelorette party (despedida de soltera) for Lindsey, the girl who had my job last year, just this past Saturday at a place called Loubnan (or something like that) with Lebanese food that was DELICIOUS! Oh my gosh, it was so super fun! We of course gave her underwear and other inappropriate things,and some cute things for her house, and I didn't get home until 12 am, so you know it was a fun night! :) Haha
So all in all, this is a short update, but life is good! Guy stuff- whatever. I'm not concerned about that anymore. So we'll just see what happens. I'm loving being single and being able to do whatever I want. It's great most days, but then there are other days where I just get so excited to meet someone who "completes me" as Sid says in Ice Age II. ;) Hahaha. We'll see what's in store for my life, I'm very pumped for the coming year and all the years after that! :)
Anyways, I'll give you my next update after Nicaragua, so look forward to hearing from me around Feb 26th! Happy Valentine's day to you all! (Or dia de la amistad (friendship) as they call it here. :) Hugs & Peace!
