Back in the USA

Well I guess we are overdue for an update. I has officially been one month since we spent our last day in Copan. I look back and it feels like our Honduran experience is quickly slipping away into a dream and that our life here in the States has always been this way. Except for the few things we brought back and our folders full of pictures it seems like we never even went away. I had to include this last picture that I mentioned way back around Valentine's day. They dye the chicks different colors and then sell them on the street. After they grow new feathers the only trace of dye left is around their eyes. It's pretty funny to see chickens with green, purple or pink masks on.

So far we have been enjoying some time relaxing, visiting family and friends and have been looking for jobs (which can be a challenge right now).

For the 4th of July we went up to Leavenworth with Daniel and Laura (David's brother and his wife) and we stayed at my grandparents house. We had a fun time walking around town, going to the 4th of July breakfast, playing mini-golf and pretty much sitting around. We drove into Wenatchee to see the fireworks and lucked out on our parking spot and had a perfect view of the show. David and I then stayed an extra 2 days to spend more time with my grandparents and celebrate my grandma's birthday with the rest of my family.
David got a job as a tutor at an education center and is enjoying working one on one with high school students teaching math and reading. For his interview he had to take the SAT and I am proud to say he did very well (we would hope so after getting his college degree). I on the other hand have been taking longer. I went to Colorado for a few days to visit family after my Step-Grandpa passed away. Since then I have been trying to figure out what I am going to do. I just got a Nanny job for the month of August and that will hold me over until I figure out what is next.
