sola este fin de semana

Kevin packed up and headed to the city this morning, where he’ll spend the weekend at Guatemalteco Coffee Fest. I have to admit I’m enjoying the space a bit: slept until 9:30! (this is a record here), washed only the dishes I needed and got to eat all the pancakes :)

In spite of that, I’m already wondering what he’s doing. I’m fairly envious of his experiencing the capital city without me, and also getting to be around lots of coffee buzz. I’m so proud of him for taking the initiative for FEDEPMA. In the end, they decided they didn’t have enough money to go. Obviously Kevin was pissed, and spoke with some other folks about the necessity of their presence at this event. Finally, he persuaded them and they agreed to pay his expenses. He’s worked the past few days on typing up the organizational info and packaging sample coffee to distribute to people at the convention. I hope they appreciate all the work he’s doing because he believes in them, and I hope he finds fulfillment in improving their marketing situation.

I had a pretty good turnout this week for my afternoon yoga classes. This was the first week of testing out a class at 4pm, which is a little risky because we’re technically still in the rainy season. However, I had students every day, and best of all, they were vocally grateful. It’s been a pretty good week all around.

I’m going to close this post with some shout-outs. Every once in a while, I realize how quickly things are happening at home, and I don’t want anyone to think we’ve forgotten…

1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my favorite KNITNEY! fphk

2. Congratulations to Rachel and Brett (wish I could meet you, Brett)! Sorry I won’t make it to the wedding, but I’m wishing you all the best! Abrazos!
