I always feel bad when...

I put pictures on the site, but don't update the blog. It's been a crazy couple of days around here. It started off Saturday morning when I went to the beach to learn how to surf! Unfortunately what I didn't realize was that I was going to be parading around in skin tight black spandex. Before the mental images get out of control, let me clarify. It was actually a wetsuit, so those of you thinking about those fun spandex catsuits can adjust your image right now! It started off being a really fun thing, and despite the fact that I was a little slow getting up on land, I totally got up on my first wave. Granted, it wasn't a major half-pipe or anything, but I was standing on a surfboard going through the water, so it was pretty awesome. Well, then the instructor felt like I was doing okay so he left me alone. The problem with this being that my surfboard and I were going the opposite direction than the waves wanted us to and we had several arguments that I hate to say but the waves won. They are a little more powerful than my upper body strength can handle. So I know have various bruises from the board, but I know enough about surfing to realize that I'm much better at boogie boarding! :) Just to prove I was actually out there, here's a little image for you.
After surfing we raced home, and got ready to go to Rabat. My teammate Kristi was turning 23 and no birthday is complete without a little bowling. At least that's my motto. So we went to the Capital city to take advantage of the "MEGAMALL" it's the largest mall in North Africa and they have ice-skating and bowling, so it was quite a trip. We also toured the Medina where we got Henna. It was a lot of fun and Rabat is beautiful. I could have stayed for a lot longer, but we had cheesecake waiting for us back in Casa so we took the train back. I have pictures of the trip on my link, if you are interested. Anyway, things are going good here. We are anxiously awaiting the day that we can go to the new school and start putting together our classrooms. We realize that we are pretty fortunate to have all this planning time and will probably miss it in the future, but as of right now we are ready to get to work. Or at least I am! Anyway, I love you all, and especially one person who probably forgot to check this at his sisters and is checking it at school!Am I right? :)
