Explosions on Many Levels

It has been a whirlwind of a weekend - for the most part in a good way.
We moved MB out on Friday, had a lovely Sushi dinner (my favorite) and crashed in the city at their new place. Bright and early Saturday morning we began to unload from the amazing (sarcasm) Uhaul truck the rest of MB's stuff. I had to leave to teach Yoga at WSC, so Sean and MB finished the job.

This was the big day!!! (The day he was going to ask her to marry him...)

I waited after my class for the news...finally I received a phone call....she said YES! What a great way to start a 3-day weekend!! It was wonderful to hear that they were engaged, and turning a new leaf in their lives together. I met up with them to have lunch and to return the dreaded Uhaul. The rest of the night was great - we unpacked, jammed to music, and ate Mexican food....yummy!! :)

But as all of this was going on, in a different country, explosions were happening (to be honest, Pacaya exploded on Thursday),Pacaya - one of Guatemala's active volcanoes erupted, rain was falling, and the country was at a state of emergency. My heart is broken right now - I want to be there and not, all at the same time. I want to throw my arms out and help in anyway I can.
I think the rain was beginning to be a good thing, considering all of the ash everywhere - but since the rain hasn't stopped and people are losing their homes....I don't really like the rain anymore!
26 days until I am there...what else could happen in the mean time?
