Justin has been gone for over three weeks now and will be coming home in eleven more days (not that I'm counting!). It has been hard for the both of us, but we have been lucky enough that he has internet access so we can skype about once a day. Justin is well, alive, learning lots of Spanish and likes the family he is living with. Over the past weekend, he took a two and a half hour bus ride to the beach and rented a cabin. (I'm a little jealous :) He hiked around a national park where he saw brave little monkeys that stole things out of other peoples bags/purses! So funny!
As for me, I'm doing well. I've been picking up extra shifts at the hospital, hanging out with some of the casas girls, watching lots of chick flicks, doing some shopping, and doing things around the house that I've been meaning to do for awhile (like clean the porch off, which I just did!). I've appreciated all the cards/letters/gifts that people have sent me over the last few weeks. Thanks to those who let me know that they care and are thinking of me!
I am really anxious for Justin to get home, as is he, but the Lord has been watching over the both of us. I'm sure once he gets home he will post pictures and a blog of his experience in Costa Rica. He tells me it is a beautiful country. And I'm hoping he took some pictures of the crazy monkeys!
Til the whole world hears,
julie
