25 years ago.....

....I was born! Yes, today is my 25th birthday and I am so happy that I was able to celebrate here in Panama. I went with my roommates to get a manicure/pedicure (where I discovered I had an ingrown toe nail that was causing pain last night), relaxed at my apartment, cleaned, napped, and chatted on the phone with some people. The highlight was definately dinner out with dear friends from school/church! About 30 of us gathered to celebrate 2 birthdays..it was such a blessing to share it with so many great people. I am SO blessed!!!!! Now, I am packing for my cruise to the Bahamas....yahoo! Leaving on Monday!

Girls Rule!!!!

Ok...sorry for the long delay in postings. I have been trying to keep up with the daily activities in life as I have adjusted to life back in Panama. Overall, things have been going well and God has continued to bless me in so many ways. Of course, there are still the days where I wonder why I am a teacher but then there are days that show me EXACTLY why I am a teacher.

Recently, I have been praying for an opportunity to play softball (because I have been missing it so much). Well, that prayer was answered when I was invited to play with some of the guys from our church in a men's league. I have gone to practice with them for 2 Sundays now and have LOVED it! I am the only girl hoping to be on the team and I am about half the size of the men. Ha! I think that I have surprised many of them though because the men in charge are going to ask the league officials if I can play in the games! Yahoo! We will see what they say but just wanted to say "GIRLS RULE!".
