My crazy week

Sunday: Jeff ran the Nike 10K in Lima.  Jeff rocked the 10K last Sunday by finishing in the top 110 out of about at least 8,000 runners!  He finished at about 41:00!  We're so proud of him!!

Monday: I had a crazy start to the week by running into a sharp curb and blowing a tire!  Yes, female driving at its best.  In my defense, I wasn't going fast, I was merely parking at a friend's house but got too close to the curb and blew out the tire.  Thankfully Dave was right there to come out and fix my tire and take it to get air.  It wouldn't have been a big deal, but I was dropping off Sophia with Mende and on my way to sit in a meeting all day.  Needless to say I was late to my meeting. :o)

Tuesday: More meetings, but no flat tire.  I sat with my colleagues to discuss mission business from 9-4pm, then came home to get dinner going while Jeff picked up the kids.

Wednesday: This morning I met with Dorothee and began the process of taking back over the Peru Personnel job.  We spent the entire day going through files, protocol for certain events, transferring emails, and discussing the ins and outs of my new job.  Though I have done Personnel before, it has taken on a whole new entity (in my opinion) and is much bigger than when I did it previously.  I'm looking forward to taking it on again, but am a bit overwhelmed at the moment.

Thursday: I did it!!  Not only did I drop the kids off at school, but I managed to drop Jeff off at the airport and get back to our house successfully!  I was so excited to make an official airport run, knowing that this is part of living in Lima, but the exciting part was that I didn't get lost! Yay!  I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon with Dorothee finishing up the transferring of the Personnel job.

Friday: Jeff is now gone for a week so today I played a bit! :o)  Annie called me and wanted to know if I wanted to go fabric shopping with her...of course I did!  So we took off for a not-so-great part of Lima and found exactly what she wanted.  Then we spent the rest of the day with her, hanging out, until the kids were done with school.  Brandon's friend, Gabriel, had a sleepover here and the kids all had a great time.
