Spicy hot tacos

As if putting salsa isnt enough- one little taco stand decided to bathe the tacos in salsa. My awesome friends thought my time here at Mexico wouldnt be complete unless I tried them before I left. So today at lunch we had tacos bathed in salsa. They werent too spicy but after I finished all 5- my mouth was on fire. Look at how much salsa-









I really do love Mexican food! I had the busiest day at work today and it was so great to get a lot done. If you wanna check out our webpage its finally up in English http://www.mic.com.mx/.

more celebrations

Happy Birthday Ezra! At family home evening we celebrated his birthday and ate really good food, like always. Mexican food is delicious.







Work Christmas Party

We had our Posada (Christmas party) for MIC. I love my job, I work for the best company in the world! I love everyone that works here. On Friday we stayed at a beautiful cabin. We ate good food and played games ALL night. It was one of the funnest days I've had here. I will miss my job, but continue working with them from United States.

Goodbyes

I love Monterrey and cant believe it is already time to come home. I feel very bitter sweet becasue yes Im excited to see my family, be home for christmas and see all my friends.......but I have made great memories here and learned a ton. I will miss a lot of things in Monterrey.
I wont miss walking to school everyday.
We had a really nice brunch the other day with all the women from my ward. It was soo delicious! I need to get the recepies! I will miss my ward.
I guess i just need to remember my favorite quote: "Dont cry because its over, smile because it happened!"

Winter Wonderland

Miia and I finally went ice skating, I think its funny that we went here in Mexico because there is snow in Utah and Finland, but we wanted to share something wintery together since we both love snowboarding, skiing, and ice skating and winter. They do ice skating, skiing and hockey as a normal sports in their PE classes in Finland- how cool!
We had fun at the mall eating, ice skating, shopping and seeing all the christmas decorations!




Saying bye to Miia was probably the hardest thing ever! I am so glad we met and I LOVE her so much! She is one of my best friends and Im thankful for her and our friendship. I will miss her but we will stay in touch! Thanks Miia!! I love you!

semesters over

I just have to say that I hate B+'s. I hate when you have 89 percent. I mean I am soo close to an A- and would much rather get an A-. Cant teachers just give you the .03 percent that you are away from an A. I mean, technically its not the teachers fault, because thats what you earned. But still I hate being so close, yet not getting it. With that being said I think overall I did pretty well this semester. I got 3 A's and 2 B+s. I liked my classes and learned a lot! I love Mexico and will miss it a ton! I really liked my Spanish communication, consumer behavior and rock climbing class (thus the reason I got A's in them- they were enjoyable). and i didnt really like my International business or spanish grammar classes or teachers. but Oh well. It was such a fun semester! Seriously if anyone is even remotely thinking that they wanna do study abroad DO IT!! Its the best experience.
