Sometimes computers make me angry.

Hello all,

Ok, so I was just about to wrap up a post and lost it…love technology. Anyway, here is the attempted re-write.

Last time we wrote was Thursday. We had a pretty bad sleep that night. Dublin decided to stay up and party. We think that he’s realized that mommy and daddy are sleeping in the same room as him; that must mean that it’s time to get up and play right? Needless to say, we were rather tired on Friday.

Despite our sleepiness we had a really productive day. Chad spent the morning looking for a steel worker who could extend the pre-fab fence posts by four feet. It was a good experience for him. He then spent the afternoon on landscaping duty. He did a big clean-up of the area in front of and around the elementary school, which is nearing completion.

I spent the morning carrying books up to the second floor of the main building which will house the library. It was quite a good workout! The afternoon was spent undertaking more organizing. There is a lot to be organized around here. In the aftermath of the quake, everyone scrambled to get everything out of the technical school building as quickly as possible (which is very understandable). Now we are working at putting things back in order.

This morning Chad helped out installing an air conditioner in one of the offices on the main floor and also checked out his test concrete slabs that he had poured. They turned out quite well. I spent the morning trying to work on employee ID cards. The printer wouldn’t cooperate so I eventually had to just walk away (see blog title). I will try again on Monday.

This afternoon we spent some time as a family and took a walk down to the beach that is near the compound. Unfortunately the water isn’t all that suitable for swimming but the scenic walk more than makes up for that fact. It’s fun walking past the heavy brush and hearing a cow bellow or a pig squeal. You can’t actually see them but you know that they’re there!

We’re off to bed in the next few minutes. Church tomorrow.

Will write again soon,

Chad, Kelly, & Dublin.
