One Month to GO!!!!

I officially have less than a month left before I'll be home!!!! I can't wait. On July 29th, at this time in one month I'll be in Colorado with dry skin!

I'll give you guys a quick work update, I'm actually really, really, really busy right now! It's good because it's making the time go super fast, but man, I have a lot to do.

We got our funding for the playground in Guadalupe and I went to San Jose with my community partner (Deivin too since we were already going up for the embassy interview) and we signed our contract and they gave us the money! Yay! So, this week I've been meeting with people in Guadalupe to organize with the parents of kids in the school who is going to cook the meals and who is going to donate what food for the workers (the contract is that we provide a place for them to stay and 3 meals a day). That was actually really easy. One of the teachers at the school helped out by taking the list of who was going to bring what and it was cool to see everyone shouting out a bunch of different things that they wanted to donate. Now, the workers will be here on Tuesday and in 2-3 days we should have our playground all ready to go! Pictures to come.

In June we had another spay and neuter your pets clinic and as always, it went great. Ricardo and I have now in La Palma fixed some 144 animals. We have another clinic on July 13th and it's a little sad. I'm going to miss my work with animals.

The group VIDA they are volunteers that do medical and vet clinics for free are coming July 19, 20, 21 and I'm organizing that. Yikes! We are going to hold 2 days in Guadalupe and one day in La Palma.

I have been trying to get everything ready with Peace Corps to close out my service and trying to figure out what to do about Tigre. We have reservations for her to travel with me inside the airplane, but I feel so bad that my poor baby is going to have to be cooped up for 8 hours+ 2 days in a row. For a while I was thinking of flying to San Jose from Jimenez, but it's just so expensive. I've been taking Tigre on walks to get her used to the cage and next Monday will take her to my English class so that she can brush up on her English a bit and be in the cage for a couple of hours at a time. Hopefully it works.

Deivin is almost done with work and is really excited to see Colorado and the US. We are planning to head to Montana for out honeymoon and then in early October do a Grand Canyon hike with my dad. Should be a fun couple of months. I just need to somehow manage to find a job at some point... I'm sure it will happen for me.
