El Fin De Semana (The Weekend)

    Well I had a "fantaboulous" weekend here in San Jose. Friday after school I went and supported my little "M.K." (missionary kid) buddy at his basketball game. It was hard sitting there...patiently...quietly....I wanted to get  in the game so bad. It brought back many memories under those bright lights in the Crusader Gym. Pre-game prep in the locker room...my girls know what I'm talking about!. "WE READY" resounded throughout the room each week.....and of course the little tension breaker I like to call.....BOP IT!!!

Ethan (the white one!!) about to school that kid!

The Typical Costa Rican Scorboard

(I promised not to tell which score belonged to Ethan's team!)

 Anyways.........anyways, afterwards the fam (The Pruitt's/Rebecca) and I caught a bus to Terra Mall! This mall is incredible. It has awesome stores and is being decorated for Christmas!! We had dinner there. I ate at KFC. Yes, there are fast food restauraunts here! We had a great day!
   No sleeping in for me on Saturday. I woke up and walked to the Pruitt's house for some good ole southern biscuits and chocolate gravy. Yummy!! We headed to meet the Delgado's(Argentine Missionaries to Africa) and Adriana(school secretary) and her family at the park. We had a little "potluck picnic" and the kids swam. Played a little soccer....and once again......the women dominated! (It had nothing to do with the fact that we had 6 players to their 4!) After the park festivities we went to a new grocery store. I really like it. When you...yes YOU....come visit me, I WILL take you there! We finished the night with a little game of Yahtzee and pizza!

    Well, friends that brings us to Sunday. It was the most relaxing day I have had since I have been here. I didn't leave my house once! Usually that would drive me nuts, but I had a very productive day! I cleaned up my house, did a little laundry, studied, cooked, studied, watched a movie, studied, did my homework, studied! Well.....you get the point!

Also.......tonight I made myself a might tasty meal. It was chicken stuffed with spinache and mozarella cheese with some pasta and garlic bread on the side!!!  Here is a little photo sample:

The Before
