Erin Finally Posts!!!!

Ok, the blogger police can take it easy. I am finally posting again. Who knows when I'll post after today, but hey my life is kinda crazy!

Once again there is too much stuff to tell.

I spent most of this past week going to and from the hospital with one of our girls. She has been having fainting spells. I had to take her to get an electriocardiogram, and for those of you who know what that involves you'll know what I mean when I say that she was so embarresed to have me there. I am learning so much about sickness and medical procedures since coming to the Ranch. That was something I did not expect. I know all about nueroblastoma tumors(not sure if I spelled that right), chemotherapy, electricardiograms, boils, injections, lice, strange rashes, mumps, strep throat, etc...

I also recently got a new cell phone, which I am using to annoy most of you by sending you tons of random pictures. It is so fun to play with.The weather has been horrendous and we have been slogging to and from school on most days.

Ah yes, Valentine's Day is almost upon us. Here in Mexico it is called the Day of Love and Friendship. Everyone buys presents for all of their friends, guys and girls. Needless to say, it is a little crazy buying presents for 21 girls!!!! I won't even try for the boys. We are doing secret friends in the dorm, and it has been nice to get little notes and candies from my secret friend. I have been trying to send stuff to mine, but she keeps almost catching me.

Today is my day of rest and I am here in Juarez relaxing and finishing up my Valentine's Day shopping.

I didn't really tell all the funny stories that happened this week, but that will have to wait until the next time.
