What have we been up to....

Hi family and friends!

You are all probably wondering why we haven't blogged in forever. Well, its for a good reason......we don't have Internet access...well, not until July. In July, Nate and I will move into our house. We will live in this little two bedroom house that is cute and quaint and all things that are a combination of America and Belize. Well the house being in Belize and the owners were Americans who moved down here a couple of years ago. It comes with a lot of different amenities, like in-door plumbing. YAY!

Once we move in our house, we will be able to get Internet so that we can talk to people more often and respond better to emails. More importantly, we will be able to describe this amazing journey and highlight some of the funny events in our lives. Until July, you will all have to wonder what is happening to us over here and if we are okay because there seems to be less and less blogs. Let me assure you, Nate and I are fine. Happy and loving Belize. We are now comfortable with the heat (if that is even possible). We have bought bikes (yes...that's right...beach cruisers, a reminder of my childhood). We have begun shopping for our house hold supplies. Can i tell you how difficult it is to buy a lot with very little money. Man...its fun to bargain. We cannot complain, nor will we.

Nate and I have met some amazing people. Some of them are related to our host family. In fact, we all celebrated Nate's birthday last weekend by throwing a Belizian Bash. I (and my host sister) made Nate homemade pizza, made a cake, and had drinks and music. I can't explain to you how amazing that night was. Nate loved his party and hanging out with our Belizian family. I loved it too. It was great. 25 people there to share in his birthday and celebrate each other.

This week everyone is super excited about the World Cup. Everyone hangs out drinking and watching the games. Nate and I have found a couple of people to hang out with so we can watch the game too.

Nate uploaded some pictures onto our blog (click here to view the album), so if you haven't seen them, please check them out. They were of the last two months, and more excitingly, our swearing-in ceremony with Peace Corps. We are officially PEACE CORPS Volunteers!!!! YAY.

We hope all is well and we love and miss you,
Michelle (and Nate)
