Blessings of new friends

It has been a crazy week!  Two new team members recently arrived, one of which is my roommate.  Her name is Brittne.  We have had tons of fun together already along with the other newbe Ryan and our housemates Kristen and Claudia.  The Lord has blessed me with some awesome folks with which I can share my experiences.  

Brittne and I spent most of this week cleaning around the house and trying to get our things unpacked and slightly organized.  We also did plenty of grocery shopping as we are eager to start cooking some of our own meals in our kitchen.  We cooked enchiladas for a group of eight friends and few nights ago and it turned out great.  

I have also been running some in the mornings.  One of the morning runs was down on the "malecon" which is a nice wide sidewalk that goes for miles up above the beach.  It was beautiful and so peaceful to enjoy God's creation.  The weather here is pretty amazing... daily highs are around low to mid 80's with overcast skies and high humidity.  It's nothing like the frigid air in Kentucky that I have been hearing about, haha!

More to come soon...

Mad love

Jess

P.S.  I listened to the UK game against Tennessee the other night online and was pumped to hear the outcome!  And how about Meeks?  A night for the history books!

All this Kentucky talk is really... too much. It's not fair when ONE GUY scores 54 points and no other player on your team scored in double digits.

The real disappointment would be my Vols failing to defend ONE GUY.

Yes, it is frigid here, to say the least. We'll chat later. Hello to all your friends. Brenda and Lonnie
