Here I am again.

Another week has gone by and I'm still standing. This week has been a little rough with my kids. The weather is changing and I think that has something to do with it. Today was good however. Its so amazing to see how far they have come since the beginning of school! It makes me so excited to watch them write and sound out letters and to watch them actually think things through. Its a rush!

We just got a really nice rain storm. Its still kinda dark outside but its really nice. The breeze is blowing and all the animals are going crazy with excitement and praises! Last night light went off around 11:00 or so. I was already in bed and did not notice until I woke up about one a.m. and was a little warm. I got up to open my windows and the sound that came from the outside was so beautiful I had to record it. All the frogs and grasshoppers and owls were having a grand ole time singing together. I woke up this morning to the same level of sound but it was different. Not the sounds of the night but the sound of night ending and morning beginning. I love listening to the birds here. They are completely different from the birds at home. They remind me of the birds in the opening scene of Cinderella.

I have gotten a few comments from people that I should give you an update on how I'm doing personally... I'm great. How's that? I love it here. I have never disguised the work here as easy and that is because it isn't, I work really hard everyday but everyday I look back on what I did and it was all worth it. Besides my family and friends that are not here I don't miss much. Everything I could ever need I have here. I am healthy and tan and completely and disgustingly happy.

I love you all very much!

A very tan Sarah.
