Jogging with Armadillos!!!!

oday was so fantastic that this email deserves it's own subject line rather that just a "re:"

And the subject line is true. This morning we were trudging uphill, exhaustly yet dilligently carrying out our daily morning "jog" when suddenly, Sister C. stops in front of me, I look forward and in the distance, I see what appears to be two giant potatoe bugs with tails. I stare for a moment, and then perk up in realization. ARMADILLOS! Sister C. unfortuatly had lost her glasses, she said "They are really cute blurs..." I was so sad that she didn't get to see them, so hoping not to see them we proceeded at a slightly slower pace (wasn't much slower we could go...) and eventually we got up to wear we had seen them, and they were frolicing around in a spot of grass. I almost died from enjoyment when rather than running away from us one of them sat up on his hind legs and looked at us. He then promptly returned his feet to the ground and came to investigate the two creatures that he was unfamiliar with! I squealed when he was less than a foot from me, and Sister C was pleased when he was close enough that she could see his detail also. We continued jogging (now with a bit of energy), despite my desire to sit down and cuddle him, and he happily decided to jog along with us!!! The other Armadillo crawled off into a hole or something, but this one (whom we named Ador- short for adorable) was incredibly social, and he played with us until we had made our loop and were heading back to our home and he left for his own home.... it was quite honestly one of the happiest moments of my life. :) I was surprised that he actually was social (he was alot like the armadillo on road to el durado.) but, it was a pleasant surprise! I hope we get to see cute little ador again someday.

 

Glad to hear Grandma's birthday went well. Sister C. was worried that grandma would be offended by the card, (because it's mocking her old age) so I'm glad she enjoyed it! :D
I'm also glad to hear that Jess's date went well and that you are getting things figured out for her. I had more I wanted to say, but I took to much time telling everyone about the armadillos, so sorry.... Oh wait! Two weeks till transfers, I WILL DEFINATELY BE MOVING (where is still a mystery...) so if anyone is going to mail me anything, send it this week, or wait until I can get y'all an updated address... :)

 

LOVE YOU!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
