Goodbye

My dream come true will end tomorrow when Jimmy and I return to Costa Rica. We have had the most WONDERFUL time over the past 6 weeks exploring this country by land from San Francisco to Colorado to North Carolina because we did everything that I wanted to do and we saw sooooo many important people to me. Both Jimmy and I have learned so much individually and as a couple, and we are thinking about moving to the United States in about one year so that I can replicate Intercambio in either San Francisco, Ft Collins or Chapel Hill.

This past week has been so relaxing with my brother Patrick and his family in their new house. Baby Thomas is a beautiful and healthy baby, and our family is blessed to have such a special new addition. My 9 year old niece Elvita is so smart and we seem to grow closer every time we see each other because she is very curious and asks a lot of questions, and I am honest and playful with her. I am thankful for my time here because as our family grows in size, our love expands in new directions.

So, what am I looking forward to in Costa Rica? I am having knee surgery on Monday, August 7th at 7:00. I return to work on the 14th, hopeful, and eventually I will start teaching yoga again soon. And my 25th birthday is on August 12.

Thank you for reading along with all over our adventures. Even though it may seem like everyday, normal, routine activities, this really was a dream come true for me. I showed Jimmy the best of this country, and he liked it, and we’ll be back. I feel melancholic as I write this final email that concludes our vacation here in my home country, because I am so happy for our great experiences and so sad to leave. I love my family so much and I am so grateful for my friends.

Thank you. Until next time, peace
