Lets see….a list of good things.
1. My hair will go into a pony tail now! This is exciting for me! It needs some help but with the bobby pins but it’s getting there.
2. I made black beans yesterday that had to be soaked overnight. I’m always impressed when I do this. It seems like a lot of work for black beans.
3. My dog walks amazingly with her new training color. I think I have the smartest dog in Palau. She get’s fixed on Monday.
3. My shower has no mold in it finally!!!! My lovely husband scrubbed it and then bleached the shower curtain and threw the curtain in the washing machine. I had no idea you could do this. He is such a smarty pants!!!
4. My sunburn is finally gone from my back and shoulders.It was the worst burn on my life I think. I had these teeny tiny blisters all over my back days before it peeled. I hope everything is o.k with my back in the future……….sorry Mom. I failed with the sunscreen that day.
5. We got a new AC in the living room. It works without having to set the timer button. Before, we would have to set the timer meaning we had to wait a minimum of 1 hour before it would kick on. FIXED!!!
6. I’m rereading Steps to Christ and it is an amazing book. Many blessings from that, that’s for sure.
7. My student’s made me laugh today. It was a good teaching day.
8. I finally understand the difference between who vs. whom and successfully taught my students.
9. The school board really wants to see me at the elementary school next year, possibly 2nd grade which would be really fun for me!!!!!!!!!!!
10. I got a candle that smells like cookies and it is nice. Candles make me feel like I’m living in the States again. Very homey.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. A little late to get this reposted, but I think you might find it interesting. I know I did.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,200 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 37 trips to carry that many people.

Well….I’m afraid to look up my last post. I think it was a very long time ago.
We are doing well here. It’s finally February and that is super exciting. I think I will miss those Feb. holidays though. Apparently, Palau doesn’t celebrate President’s day:)
It is the weekend here. Weekends are the best just because that means I’m not at PMA! PMA is not my favorite place in Palau. I think my favorite place is the beach…..or anywhere where we can go and pretend to be a tourist.
Tonight Jesse took me on a date. We went to a place called Little Italy. It is more expensive Macaroni Grill I guess….without the good bread. But, I like it because it feels like a restaurant you would find in the states. And, I miss the states. We are looking into the possibility of going to Guam or even Ebeye over spring break. I’m pushing Guam because they have K-mart and Taco Bell. But, it would be really fun to see where Jesse was when he was an SM. So, we are going to compare airline prices to help us decide.
Being in the states of Christmas with the family was amazing! Hopefully you’ve seen some of the pics from that. I’m excited for summer too because we get to go back to Hawaii again. My homesickness comes in waves. This week has been a good week.
Having Daisy really helps with the homesickness. It is so nice to come home to a smiling puppy everyday. A dog’s love is so unconditional. It is the best feeling. I really believe she is a blessing sent from above. She makes life easier here.
There are many challenges….but that is for another time. This blog is just to let you know that I’m still here. I’m just busy….and not a great blogger. So sorry yall. Miss everyone TONS and TONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, I’m going to get better at taking more pics too. But, for today….this is what you get.
Prayers.

“When ideas are blocked, information deleted, conversations stifled and people constrained in their choices, the Internet is diminished for all of us.. There isn’t an economic Internet and a social Internet and a political Internet. There’s just the Internet.”
– Hillary Clinton (United States Secretary of State)
She was talking about the way the Internet is regulated in many other countries, but if certain legislation is passed through congress the statement would apply to the US.
I wish I could watch this video, but our connection here in Palau is just too slow. Oh well, at least I can share it.
