2008 In the Life of Me of Course

January 2008: I worked my butt off 5 nights a week. I had little time to hang out with friends. I left MN on the 14th, landed here in Chile on the 15th. I thought I was going to die from the heat. We partied and enjoyed Ro's summer vacation. The 21st Ro and I celebrated one year together.
February: We spent most of the time at the beach. We went to Pichilemu which I liked and disliked. The water was freezing and that black sand gets into everything!!
March: We came back to the beach and started the serious part of finding a job for me. I started working at WEUSA at the end of March.
April: I was working full time at WEUSA as the head interviewer in Chile. At this point the job was boring and I had a lot of down time!!
May: Work started picking up. I moved most definitely into the second stage of culture shock and began to hate everything about Chile.
June: I found out that I was going to the US for a vacation in July!! I celebrated my "summer" birthday in the winter with a good ol Chilean asado! Zoe joined our family! Cute little Yorkshire terrier!
July: Work was really busy. The first job fair was coming up and I had interviews like crazy! I went home on the 17th of July and came back on the 29th. I went to Appleriver with Madge for her 21st! Had a great time of course!
August: Back to work. I couldn't take the cold heatless life so I bought a heating blanket. Quite sad that that makes the list of my year huh?
September: I married Rodrigo on the 2nd! We spent the day with his family it was great! Work didn't get as busy for the second job fair. We went to the beach to celebrate the Chilean Independence Day and partied for almost the whole break!
October: My last month at WEUSA at the end I go a little sloppy stayed up late almost everynight and went to work tired as a dog.
November: I was a lazy ass and slept as much as I could. I also learned a few new techniques for crochetting and made Zoe a few sweaters for her future trip to the US. Ro and I also started to plan some minor things for our trip to the US which keeps getting farther and farther away from now.
December: A month full of surprises! The worst of them was that we can't get a visa. Oh, well now. Rodrigo's business is expanding A LOT! To include a giant printer! There are many new possibilities opening up for Agencia UP! I am ready for Christmas and all the festivities! Except the presents...still working on that!

I hope my uneventful life is interesting to you all!! Peace and Happy Holidays!
