I swear I work, too...

Although it might not seem like it, 5 days of the week are spent inside the school walls, and it would be no surprise if you found me there on a Saturday or Sunday as well. I love what I do... I am not working to live nor living to work... I am just living and loving :)

Here are some of the atypical/typical events from the past... what month are we in? With very little weather change, I swear it could be August or December, and I could not tell the difference...

Less recently, I was one of the soccer coaches for our 4th-6th graders. We had a huge soccer jamboree within the Caracas international school community. The three international schools ("the British school", "the international school", and "the Christian school") got together on a Saturday morning for a day full of intermingled small aside tournament games.


Some time after that, one of my friends from Germany came to visit for two and a half weeks as he traveled around Venezuela. We went to Morrocoy (check a couple posts back) and saw things around Caracas. Lucky for him, he has now seen more of Venezuela than me! I'll get there...


Weekend Beach Buddies...


My dear friend celebrated his birthday at our house, which turned into an awesome dance party... Gringos got some great salsa and merengue lessons, and then we brought the soulja boy...


We worked on Thanksgiving for half of a day, and the secondary students served us a pancake breakfast...

This past week we had our precious Christmas concert...
This is 2nd - 6th grade


4th - 6th Grade

One of mine...


Last night, we got to visit a family's restaurant. Delicious dinner turned into a dance party... 
Food and dancing, this is my typical life :)





Another of mine...


I'm trying to play Christmas music, and remind myself that although I am still running in a tank top and shorts, it IS December!


For Christmas, I will be traveling by myself to Colombia for 8 days, then I will experience a Venezuelan Christmas.
