Life

Life has been crazy busy for me lately, hence the reason for no updates, but I will update soon about everything I promise...

Do you remember why I decided to move to Guatemala in the first place? I DO!!

1) Get out of the US!! - Check
2) Learn Spanish - Check (not perfect - not even close, but I am learning)
3) Not work my life away - Check
4) Find a job - Check
5) Find a job where I can lead outdoor trips - CHECK, CHECK, CHECK

My dream is slowly coming true!

These past two weeks have been amazing. The other week I went to one of my friend's house because he was having a sushi party. :)
I met some really important people that he works with (an outdoor company) there, and I got some inside scoop that they would be looking for guides in the near future. I went in the following day and talked with the head man - and I was able to work out some time that we could meet and talk further. He seemed really positive about me working there.

Then just the other night, I get a phone call and an email, asking if I want to go on a last minute trip and learn about running that particular trip. OF COURSE I DO!
I went, it was awesome, and now I have another trip planned to shadow this week.

My name is on the trip board...twice! - This is huge.

Things are really working out now.

Other good news: The raining season is about over, maybe two more weeks of rain, if even that. The past 5 days have been absolutely gorgeous. It is still winter and will only decrease in temperature - bad for me - I didn't pack a jacket. I am not sure what I was thinking when I packed? I don't return to my parent's house until late December, I am going to freeze.

I moved into a new place with one of my friends! This is great news because I was living with 3 boys that are horrible. I am not usually this mean, but you will understand when I tell you more about them later.
