Hello my friends! I have so much to tell you. Last week I had lots of fun with my kids. It was a much better week than the first week back. I started to teach my kids about fractions and you know, I think I found the key to keeping their attention...food. Lessons with food always seem to go well. We made pizzas and cut them in half and we made bread with jam and cut them in fourths. They loved it, which made me love it.












































I had a wonderful adventure this weekend. It was so much fun!! To celebrate Kristy's birthday a bunch of us went to spend Saturday night at the beach. We stayed at a resort, which was a new experience for me. It was so nice to not think about anything except having fun. We all needed it, as I am sure most of you reading this do to. The weekend was filled with new experiences. First, we arrived in Puerta Plata and we thought, why take a taxi when we can take a moto councho and have an adventure on the way. So we piled on to three different motorcycles, ha, I know not the best idea and I don't know if I will do it again. It was so much fun though!


















Stacy and I ran out of gas and one of the other motorcycles came up behind us and pushed us to the gas station. Ha, we were laughing and screaming through the whole ride.


When we finally made it, after they took us to the wrong hotel... we changed and went right to the beach. Insead of just laying out all day we decided to go kayaking in the ocean. I loved it and the view of the mountains from the ocean was beautiful.





































I think this was my favorite part of the night. We snuck into the kids playground.























Well before I go, I wanted to tell you all that I need your prayers for guidance and to stay encourage. I know that in my pictures it must look like I have fun all the time, but I also have some very difficult days. God has been so good to me though and he always seems to give me what I need to not just make it through the day, but to also find the joy in it. I miss you all!
