Watch Out Ecuador...


The Richerts are taking over!  That's right, the mini-Richerts (a.k.a Dave's brother Jon and his beautiful wife Heather) are moving to Guayaquil.  There  was a job opening at InterAmerican Academy and Dave and I encouraged Heather to apply for it.  Of course the IA crowd was wowed by Heather's mad teaching skills, and they offered her the post of teaching second grade for the 2008-2009 school year. 

Needless to say, Dave and I are incredibly excited.  We can't wait for Team Richert to take Ecuador by storm.  

Congratulations mini-Richerts!!  You are going to love it here.

Besides that, I tend to burn.  And then freckle.  Not good. I can't help it...I wasn't born to be enchanted by the swaying palm trees and shimmering sunsets.  I mean, I'm from Idaho .  Give me the mountains anyday. And this is why Dave and I headed to Vilcabamba, Ecuador for Semana Santa, instead of following the rest of Ecuador to the coast.  T...

What in the....?

I know...it has been months (months!! How did that happen?!). I can tell you how it happened... * swine flu paranoia in Ecuador * whirlwind tours of the USA from D.C. to California * a swimming sensation that is six years old, and the Transformer's expert * a beautiful 11 month old that fell in love with her uncle * bbq's galore * weekends away with the greatest of friends * new bikes (Oh, Isis...I miss you already) * let's be honest....Target, Costco, and the Patagonia outlet contributed to the silence * 14 hour road trips * napkin making * concerts that had to be attended (I really do love you Josh Ritter. Really) * books to purchase and read * and, of course, all that repacking * which only leads to all that unpacking It's been a busy two and half months kids.
