STOP!!

so its been a while.........besides the recent installation of the muy lindo basketball court, there has not been too much happening the past month or so.

but i thought id give a little update...

so 1. the basketball court. we have been playing every night which is awesome. im thinking about starting a league and giving classes. the kids love playing. its something new and exciting for them.

2. i think i posted about taking a few kids to a leadership camp about a month ago. well after the camp each group of kids is required to do a community project in their own town. my kids and i have been meeting a couple times a week to brainstorm about possible projects and have finally landed on one that seems it will do just nicely.

the transit rules and regulations in this town are really lacking. kids ride like speed racers on their motorcycles and there is nothing to stop them, axcept for eachother. BOOM!CRASH!

so today we met with the guy who runs the transit department and who is the transit department of own town. we ran some ideas by him and he thought our project was a great idea and said that he had been wanting to do something about the situation for a while.

we talked about putting stop signs up, painting lines down the one paved road, putting up speed limit signs, and even going around the highschools giving charlas on traffic safety.

the will be a very awesome project if we stick with it and follow it through. very possible as well. the kids seem very psyched and enthusiastic so my hopes are high.

3. still growing and reproducing worms in my back yard in hopes of putting them in a big pile of fertilizer someday.

4. today my family just got a pump for their water tank which connects to the well in the backyard...........you know what that means mom!!!! when you come visit you dont have to shower with a bucket! que purete!

5. its getting to the point where i think i might finally move out. i still will have someone else do my laundry and cook my meals,,,,,, but at least i will have the oppotunity to do those things if i feel like it. and i will also have my own space finally. but just a thought right now still

6. mmmmmmmmmlanguage is still a pain in the ass but little by little.......

7. not sure ill let you guys know later

but i love you all and miss you
