october break

I am a Warrior!! Completed el Desafio de Guerreros today, which is basically a Warrior Dash but on crack.  The race is set on the side of a mountain at Parque Arvi, there was mud, barbwire, hills, sandbag carrying, sliding down rocks underneath barbwire, getting stuck in the mud (at least 10x), falling, falling and more falling.  It was SO much fun! But it was also incredibly intense.

This week is our October break, the students have the entire week off and the teachers have PD both Monday and Tuesday.  On Wednesday I am leaving Medellin for practically the first time! A group of us are going to La Guajira which is the desert of Colombia.  I'm not entirely sure what to expect except for hot weather.  I'll be bringing my charged camera and a positive attitude!  It is going to be so nice to get away for a little while.  We have off from Wed. through Monday.  We arrive late Monday night back to Medellin which will make for an interesting first day back after break.

When we get back there will only be three full days left of quarter one!! Yiiikes! This means my grades will be due coming sooner rather than later.

Well, this warrior is incredibly exhausted and needs to go lounge in bed.  I didn't bring my camera to the race, but one of the other teachers got some great pics so hopefully I'll get to see them soon!

Shout out to Grandma Soukup and Grandpa Burke, prayers and thoughts are with you always! Please get healthy soon!!  Love you both so much!!

have a great week everybody!! :)
