Reality Check

Yesterday morning, the Ranch celebrated Graduation. This included all the kids graduating from 6th grade, Kinder, and High School.

They wrapped up with the graduation of the kids who finished University this year. It was fairly impressive, considering the odds these kids faced.

Today, fittingly, I stumbled upon a brochure from a past visit. It was all about how to donate to the kids education.

A year of university education in Honduras costs 3,300 dollars. Including tuition, transportation, housing, food, medical costs, books and school supplies.

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!

For a year of studying economics, nursing, psychology. You name it. Three thousand dollars.

I probably spend more on coffee in a year.

Snuggles

One of the reasons I wanted to be with younger girls is because they are not too old (ie.cool) to snuggle.

For example, tonight, when were watching a Barbie movie (ie. terrible movie), I had one girl laying in my lap and one girl leaning against my side. I was happy as can be.

Like I said, I love snuggles.

Sick.

It was bound to happen.

This is the thing I hate the most about being outside the states. When I'm sick all I want is comfortable things.

Cold showers do not count as comfortable. Blech.
