I've been such a slacker with this blog lately! There doesn't seem to be a whole lot new to say: Ryan is still out of town and I'm still in a snow globe. Luckily for me, Ryan is coming home TOMORROW... finally!
I started going to a new bible study last week that focuses on building a good marriage. I absolutely love it and all the girls who attend. One of the lessons got me thinking, though. Last weekend Ryan came home from South Africa exhausted. After his 12 hour flight he needed a nap. But, to my surprise, he only slept for about 30 minutes before he got up again. He said, "I just want to see you as much as I can." It amazes me how he can muster up energy to be there for me after working so hard.
Ryan saves his best for me.
The funny thing is, is I'm the opposite. I go to work and have to be 100 percent ON, like making an otherwise boring lesson really fun. So, when I come home, I'm done. I give my best to everyone else.
Ryan has taught me so much in the little things he does. If he can work like a maniac and still save his funniest, happiest, and loveliest moments for me...why can't I?
Some of my students took me out to dinner the other night. They took me to eat MEXICAN of all things. I was in heaven.
Isabelle and I.

Heidi and Yvonne.

Doesn't our food look delicious? Of course, it doesn't compare to Mama Ninfas.
But, hey, I'm not complaining!
Also, in case anyone is wondering...My cardiologist appointment went really well. She said my heart looks great. They think there is a virus living in there that will take a few months to go completely away. I said, "Oh, that's all?"
She did say I could start working out again, but, emphasis on BUT, she said no more running for a few months. She also said I was anemic. She asked if I was a vegetarian. Can you be from Texas and be a vegetarian?
I hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday!
