We enjoyed Mexico's hospitality, and now we're back in the states spreading the joy of living south of the border!

Grown-up party!

Many of my co-workers, mainly the young single female ones, have come over to my house for a slumber party. Sometimes when Dave is out of town, but mainly for a weekend getaway. They all live with other co-workers or missionaries which makes the "fishbowl" experience of working for the church even worse than it already was.

Everyone loves our house. It's very "mexican" with lots of wood architecture and furniture, and also stained glass windows and a manicured garden and skylights and bright decor colors, like orange, which are very common here.

As an end-of-the-year get-together, and a birthday party for me, we invied everyone over. All the teachers, the secretary, the director, the board, and their spouses and kids. We ended up with nearly 15 people for lunch yesterday. 3 came over Friday after work for a "pre-party" and also to help me clean and cook for the big group.

It was really fun! Dave got to see what it's like for me to work with this eclectic group of people every day, we got to chat about how to not die from pig flu, i got to blow out a candle on my birthday cake, and overall we enjoyed each other's company.
