Frank and I have been dating for almost 8 months. It feels like so much longer--Nicaragua is strange like that. Here we grow close to each other, and the other PCVs, because we understand each other and what we are going through when a lot of even our closet friends and family members back home can't relate. We lean on each other and laugh about awkward situations we've endured and uncomfortable bathroom stories that never would have slipped out from my lips had I not crossed over into this over-sharing life called Peace Corps. But it's good and I wouldn't change it. It's awesome to have a support system here, and someone close who I can share my worries with and receive encouragement.
Now that we're in the middle, it sorta feels weird. We have passed the hump and now are headed downhill, but there seems to be so much left to be accomplished. The next few months are gonna be busy and I'm looking forward to family time, but I'm also hoping that this next school year starts off right and that I can take advantage of a fresh new year. I have big hopes!
I also want to travel more and explore the countries around Nicaragua. I have a short time frame in between finishing PC and returning back to Gonzaga, but hopefully I can squeeze some good memories in there :)
I'll see y'all this time next year in Oregon--can't wait!
