I finally have internet on my computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flying was a long journey.
By the grace of God I made my flight at 6:10 a.m. and reached Chicago where I had to walk forever and a million miles just to get to my connecting flight. Then my flight to New Jersey was good. I slept on both flights. I was completely asleep because I never went to sleep the night before I left for Peru.
During my layover in New Jersey I took care of some business things on the phone and ate nasty McDonald’s for the last time in a long time, which I am okay with because I don’t really eat it in the US anyway.
My flight to Lima was 8 hours and I watched Fame (sorry Joanna but I was thinking of you the whole time I watched it and you definitely need to watch it). I also watched Love Happens and an episode of Cold Case. I played a game and talked some with the lady next to me. I think I slept for 30 minutes too, ha ha. I tried staying awake.
Gabi was their waiting for me in the airport. There was this dude who was on my flight from Chicago to New Jersey and then from New Jersey to Lima and he just graduated college and is going to Cuzco for an Internship for some Humanitarian work. He helped me with my bags once and we talked for a few minutes.
I am enjoying my time with Gabi. She is so precious. She is a translator at the school. I know her from last time I was in Peru. Her and I started watching Kiss the Girls on my computer around midnight and then I slept until 2 p.m. Gabi woke me up otherwise I would have continued to sleep. Our bus does not leave until this evening at 7:30 p.m. and it should be a 10-12 hour bus ride. It is good to not be on the bus right away but I am ready to be in Pacasmayo already.
I cannot believe I am going to be gone for a year. That I said goodbye to my loved one’s and the only way we will really see each other is if we get to talk on skype, otherwise it is all through the internet and sometimes telephone.
I am so blessed and grateful for this opportunity and I am excited for the adventure ahead. I think I figured out how I am going to take showers if the water is too cold. So that makes me happy. Ha ha.
I really do not know how anything will be going until I know exactly the job I will be taking, whether it be a House Mom or not I mean. We shall see.
And when I know my normal routine, I will let you know when I am best available to talk with.
Sending my love from Peru to you =]
