Mid-week

Well, here it is Wednesday already. This is the last week of our first trimester in language school. Yippee! Tomorrow we will receive our grades in our classes and then on Friday there is a graduation for the students that have completed their time in language school. Then we get nearly 3 weeks off. I think we'll have a good break, although we're scratching our heads wondering what we'll do with all that free time. It will be a good opportunity to do a little bit of "catch up" on various little things we've been meaning to do since we got here. We are helping out with the orientation of the new students during the break. We have "adopted" a couple coming in from England for language school and so we will be helping them get settled into their house and showing them around. We are planning a short trip to the beach this weekend as well - it's time to put this Spanish to good use on a public bus!

We are really looking forward to tonight. We are going to a benifit concert at the National Theater in downtown San Jose. We bought the tickets last week and then realized we didn't have a babysitter so we had decided we couldn't go. We offered the tickets to another couple here and rather than take our tickets, they offered to watch Brooklyn so that we could go! Wow. What a huge blessing. We haven't had a night out like this (other than our anniversary) in ages! Anyway, we are looking forward to our big night out. Stay posted - we'll let you know how it goes. We even get to dress up...even though the only dress shoes I own are flip-flops! (To my sister: Yes, I know, what's new?!)
