ITS NEW!

Amber with her Tres Leches birthday cake...

ok so what's happened lately?

• I cut my hand on a bean can.
• I cut my thumb on a knife.
• I spilled burning wax down my hand and arm.
• I tripped on the way out of the mall.
• I wrote on my face with pen at work (luckily it was right before break so I could wash it off)
• The termites are attacking again.
• The kitchen roof is leaking somewhere- we came home to a lake in there yesterday.
• It seems the toilet has started leaking again.
• Amber's birthday was not good for her (including, but not limited to: she had to stay late at work, didnt get her paycheck on time, stood in the rain alone, and cried)
• But she's fine now, you know how you get emotional when you're birthdays not perfect=)
• I got a cell phone! Yay! 
• My cell phone number is 011-506-307-9833 (thats the country code/area code/ everything)
• I've been yelled at soo many times at Office Depot. It's kindof annoying when someone calls and instantly starts yelling at you- not knowing whether or not you're going to be able to help them. Today I had a man so mad about not having a price matched that he's calling the news stations and the newspaper in his local town and then he's gonna sue the president of Office Depot and everyone in the world is gonna know what happened to him...That was a fun call, I actually enjoyed it alot.
• The owner's daughter got a miniature poodle (smaller than Teenie, kind-of like when Aaron & Meghan first got her) and today they shaved off all her curls and shes so adorable!!!
• I can't wait till my next paycheck so I can look into getting a puppy of my own, now that the owner said it's ok!
• We only have 30 more days till we have to leave the country, thats when our visas run up. So we have to find a place to go for 76 hours- Nicaragua or Pananma, we'll see.
• At work they asked Amber, me and Alice (a girl from Australia) to come up with a plan for teaching business English at work. Kindof like coaching the employees they have to speak better English. We'd be getting a pay increase if it all works out.
• I've had 3 people thank me for speaking English when I answered the phone and then tell me how awful it was getting people in Indonesia and Central America who can't speak the same language (although all of the Office Depot employees have to pass an English exam- written and oral)
• Did I mention that my cell phone is probably the coolest one that's out right now?....I had to read the manual in order to operate it, I couldn't figure anything out...and the date is set for 1991 (haha haha) and I don't know how to change it...
• Tomorrow is our last Saturday at UNELA, thank goodness. Now we can sleep in on Saturdays. They are sad about it, but what can they really do- they aren't paying us!
• On top of our rent the owner tried to make us pay $26 for electricity and $20 for water. We later found out (after paying the electricity) that it shouldve only been $8 maximum for that. So we're not sure what happened. But we refused to pay the water because $6 is the normal price for this. We think she's trying to stick us with the bill for the entire complex.
• We're not as dumb as we look.
• How's summer at home? I can't believe I'm gonna miss the entire summer!
• Why have Aaron & Meghan not posted any pictures. I know they took pictures of the girls swimming. Where are they?
• If you plan on mailing stuff make sure you write out COSTA RICA really big so they don't lose it. It seems to have been an issue with some things that we haven't received yet.
• Thanks for the packages (to both set of parents) We were very excited...
• And thanks to the English students for the cards, I loved them! And I miss you guys!

Hmm.....what else?.....I'm sure theres more quick updates, but I can't think of them right now...if I do I'll add them

Me and my cool new phone!!!
