Feliz Navidad!!!!!

Juan's Graduation ceremony

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Arrival Day!

In a few hours Carey will be here! So I am quickly doing last minute cleaning of the apartment, even though Juan did it yesterday. It never seems CLEAN. GRRR. Especially for me when I hate cleaning,mopping etc.

Juan has been studying. He has 4 exams next week. Hopefully he will pass them, that would be a great Christmas present for me!! I see he is trying and that is all I can ask for! I think he wants to get them over with!

Tomorrow night he goes through the "graduation ceremony" even though he will not receive his certificate till all exams are passed. Yet, it is a moment to celebrate as we have come a LONG ways with him. We are proud of him for doing the work. It is my my favorite part of helping him through school, as I was more independant and knew when to study!

So, pictures will be posted tomorrow after the ceremony :).

I know his life would have looked different if it was not for GOD's intervention!
Gracias DIOS!!!!!!

The Final Stretch!!!

It is hard to believe that we are on the homeward strength. Juan has finished classes and needs to pass a few exams before officially graduating. The students organized a very nice graduation party, which I think represents NO MORE CLASSES. ON DEC. 18th Juan will have the diploma ceremony and then the next week take his exams. He has 1 in feb. So not until that one is complete will we head home.

During the party while watching him, laughing with his friends, taking pictures with his buddies and dancing with girls, I realized his life probably would have looked VERY different if it was not for GOD's intervention, and our commitment to him. It was special moment seeing him have so much fun!

Carey will be here on Dec. 17th til the 30th. We are looking forward to spending some nice quality time with him.
