In the Mirror...

Caitlin and I have been dating 20 months since today! I can gladly say that I have deeply valued all of this time I have been blessed to be with her. She is quite a loving girlfriend, an amazing individual, and an even better friend. She's been there with me through thick and thin and I don't know where I would be without her or without her love.

Today is also Ben's birthday and Caitlin and I will go out to his, Matt's and Emily's house to celebrate. I'm looking forward to seeing Ben, Tiana, Emily, Chris, Matt and Sam -- it's really been too long and I'm starting to feel bad about not seeing them. They are all a great group of friends to me.

Today was good; teaching kindergarden was interesting. I thought them colors today: rojo (red), amarillo (yellow), azúl (blue), verde (green), naranja (orange), violeta (purple), café (brown), and negro (black). I don't think any of the eighteen children remembered many of the colors. They all seemed to pick up on the easy ones (rojo; azúl) but just seemed to not pay too much attention to what I was saying. Half the class still thinks I am a girl.

I took this picture outside of Caitlin's dorm while waiting for her to come down.
