While on our trip to Costa Rica I really wished I could update my Facebook status, but there just was no internet connection in the village!! So when I returned home I came up with this list and posted in on Facebook, and since many of you are not on Facebook or not my friend yet (for shame!) I am putting it up here. For those not familiar with Facebook status lines let me explain. There is a place on each persons page where one can type what they are currently doing. (Mandy is … working on the computer.) And it is super fun to write your own updates and read what others are doing or thinking. So with no further introduction here are my status updates from Costa Rica - enjoy
