Oooops! I think I may have accidentally just added a link to an item I have for sale on craigslist... How the *^%$# did I do that? Am I too stoooopid to blog???

Woooo-hoo!

Ok, I'm counting down the days till I fly to Guatemala. Joel was able to find a used Subaru so we will have wheels to get us from Point A to Point B. And since it's 4wd, hopefully we won't be getting stuck in Potholes C & D or in Mudslides E & F.

I'm trying really hard to think of all the things I'll need down there. I knooow I'll forget something... Just trying to go through my list one thing at a time.

Here are some pictures of the place we'll be living. Pretty cute, huh? Joel joked with me the other night and said he sent me pictures of the wrong place and I nearly swallowed my tongue -- whaaaat? And he laughed and said he was kidding, so I only wanted to kill him a little bit after that. Yesterday he discovered that the yard has a lime, avacado, and banana tree (but not all on one plant -- that would make it a LimeAcadoNana Tree, right?), so if we end up completely broke, we will have limes, avacadoes and nanners to dine on. At least we won't get scurvy... And I can write a cookbook called, "99 Meals with Limes, Avacadoes & Bananas." Ha ha ha... like I would ever write a cookbook. Man, that's funny.

Hola? Hello? Is this thing working?

Hmm, ok here's my first ever blog post. I'm a little nervous, but here goes nothing!

I'm moving to Guatemala to be with my husband, Joel. It's a little scary to leave behind my comfortable easy life in Texas... but I think it'll be good for me to shake up my life a little. And who knows? Maybe I'll learn Spanish. Maybe I'll learn how to make tortillas. Maybe I'll become a volcano tour guide and show frightened tourists how cool it is to hike up an active volcano.

Anyway, I hope people are interested in what I have to say. I hope I can find interesting things to say to keep you interested!
