Lo Siento, Lo Siento

OK, I finally have something to blog about and I have a lot of pictures to show for it as well. I just haven't had time to blog about anything in the past few days. I went to Miami last weekend, which was the surprise and the reason that I couldn't blog about it before now! And then I was home all weekend with a computer that won't let me blog from home. So here are at least a few pictures to get you started. ha ha ha. My roommate from Korea, Mary, was getting married in Florida, and I really wanted to go. I didn't want to ask for a day off before even coming to Guatemala but then after being here and seeing how easy it was to go to Miami and how I could take a day off, I made a whim decision to go!! After making a few secret phone calls to Michael, her fiancee, asking for the day off, booking a ticket on the wrong weekend, calling American Airlines to change my ticket, getting a ticket on the right weekend, an excited phone call to convince Alexa to come with me, I was all set to go!!!!! I flew out a week ago from last Saturday and landed in Miami just a few short hours later, met Alexa at the Budget rental car counter, drove across Alligator Alley through the Florida Everglades, which was every so ANTI climatic, checked into our hotel and Alexa and I were on our way to surprise Mary at dinner that night!!! It was soooo fun and so fun to spend the weekend with my "Korean family." I have a lot more pictures to post and things to write about but I'll feel better if I at least get started!! :) Here are Alexa and I driving on our way to Fort Myers. Yes, Alexa took the picture while I was driving. Ha ha, but it turned out so cute!



This was right after we surprised Mary on the street by the restaurant!!! She was shocked to say the least!!!


Mary comes from a family of seven kids, and they were all there, so cute!!!


We went and all hung out after dinner, so fun, and so much like the good ole times!!! :(


The four of us, back together again!!!!


It was a great fun weekend, to spend time with people I love, that know me, and love me for who I am, and I don't have to try to prove or be anything else to them. I LOVE YOU GUYS!! It was truly a wonderful weekend. I miss them already. OK, I missed them from the time we said goodbye at the bar and at the airport!!
