Thursday afternoon my friend E called me and told me that she had talked with some people and the trip to KM was taking 8 hours by car and up to 14 hours by bus, usually it take about 3 hours by car or 4 by bus. There are huge sections of the main road that are closed due to construction and so all traffic was put on the old, winding though the mountains road. We just couldn't stand traveling 8 hours minimum to basically have one day to shop and retreat. It wasn't worth it. So my wonderful weekend away was canceled. Sad.
We talked about some nearby alternatives but in the end I stayed home. When I woke up Saturday morning my stomach was bothering me. Again. Will it ever end??? Probably not as long as I live here. But anyway, the other ladies went to a hot springs pool. The pool part had gone down hill in the last few years so they just sat by the pool and soaked in a little sun. So it was probably best I didn't take my pasty self out there. The talking and relaxing would have been wonderful but I'm sure to have gotten too much sun despite bathing in sun screen first.
Anyway, I opted for a quiet day at home with my boys. Judah got his first haircut. I made egg salad. It was overall quite boring but just what I needed in preparation for this last week of Stan's everyday language studying. I think after this week we are both going to do three a week. For two weeks at least. Then Stan goes to a training in KM for a week and then we head on our week vacation. The week after we get back will be Kirby's first week of school. There is a lot to do, but if I'm totally honest I wish it was vacation time. I actually wish we could go on vacation now and be gone a whole month. That would be great. But I have some progress to make in my own language learning before I take a three week break. And I must get prepared for starting school with Kirby. *sigh* We will get one week though. One glorious, lazy, swimming, laughing week. Unless there is a typhoon. But I won't think about that.

Yes it's TRUE!!! Thank you for your sweet comment and yes you will get to meet both of us! I will have to skype you i one morning/night when the boys are asleep. Sorry your tummy has been sour. H and p that gets better.... Vacation is in site!!! hold on a few more days. Then you can take your {pasty} (that was hilarious when you used that word) self out to laugh by the pool.
How are the recipes coming along? Just wondered if the boys had any favorites yet. Email me if you have questions. And because of you I did start a recipe blog. It's for the women at my sunday morning meetings. I am their president now and I'm heading things up, so it's all things women like... hopefully. It is in my list of blogs on the side of mine called UR Recipes. (for Union Road)
I can't believe how grown up Judah looks and I am sure with his first hair cut... oh my he must look just like the other boys!
Try to heal that tummy of yours and have a better week. I'll talk to you soon.
Jen & baby H!!!
