Update from Maria

We have had such a fun week so far with our Venezuelan friends Andre and Eliza. Kelly took them to the zoo yesterday and dipped into their magical art skills at "as you wish" painting pottery. Last night Lara, Aubrey, Karen and the rest of us at the house all went out to Logan's Roadhouse. If you have ever eaten there you know that peanuts are provided and you can throw the shells on the floor. At first Andre and Eliza had a hard time throwing their shells on the floor. I guess it just goes to show the meaning of the term "dirty Americans" :) Andre ( who just put in his mission papers) thinks that Karen is pretty cute and has even asked her to wait for him till he is finished with the mission.

Jake took them up to Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon today. I was pretty jealous as I was thinking about how I have never really been to the Grand Canyon. Then I thought of the hours in the car and I feel good about being here at work. I can't wait to see the pictures tonight.

I feel like a new woman after my doctors appointment yesterday. The nausea and vomiting has stopped and I have been able to keep enough food down to feel human again. I just have to say that I have the most wonderful husband in the world! He has been my main help and support and I can't believe I am so lucky to have him.
