emo.

 Something about Ecuador makes me so emotional, I don't know what it is but I catch myself wanting to cry all the time. I can usually pull it together, and suck it up but these last few days its been sneaking out. The other day I watched Charlie St Cloud by myself and yeah, it's a sad movie but I would have never cried before Ecuador and I literally laid in my bed and cried. really hard. all by myself. Then, today while playing with the babies these old ladies came in dressed in really nice clothes which is a rare sight for Ecuador and they were saying hello to the kids and giving them hugs, so I asked a worker who they were and she said they are some organization that sponsors the orphanage. They had a fiesta in the "casas" which is a row of little houses that the orphans move into when they get a little older so they get a little family and the ladies brought them all matching sweat shirts and pants. I wasn't even there to witness it but when she told me I started to cry. What? yes, I did. I am a sensitive little girl right now. I've been in Ecuador for a week now, the days are just starting to fly by, it scares me. I'm not ready for it to go so quick like this though. I just literally want this to last forever, I am throughly attached to the little babies. They make me so happy, and even though I am way tired I am always looking forward to spending my day with them. They're the answer to my prayers, they're the light in my life, and on more than one occasion I find myself pondering how I could make it work to move back here and stay forever. Sounds crazy but you would be doing it too.

 We're going to the Equator tomorrow! I am super excited, we get the day off to go and play around Ecuador so be expecting many pictures. It's crazy that I'll be in both hemispheres at once, I truly thought for as long as I lived I would never have an opportunity like this. Seriously Ecuador > everywhere else. 

ps. I ate lettuce tonight on accident. So, hopefully I'm not dying these next few days. dang me and my love for greens. I've done so well up until this point. 

loves.
