Celebrating 1 year for real

One year.  We have lived in Costa Rica for one year.  I will never be able to put into words how this one year has impacted, challenged, and molded me.  
These pictures will show what I have experienced and loved through out this one year.

Celebrating 1 year!

Our group
Poás Volcano 
The Hubs and I

We celebrated one year in Costa Rica with our fellow volunteers and friends.  We hiked Poás Volcano, ate pizza, laughed, talked, danced, and some even jumped off a bridge (not me).  

I can't believe that we have been in Costa Rica for a year.  This marks less than 15 months left in this beautiful country and our community.  

The past year has been one of struggle and growth for me.  I would never trade last year for anything.  I have come to love my life here and look forward to another year and change in Costa Rica.  

On a side note, our landlord's dog had puppies!  Aren't they cute?!

This month marks one year in Costa Rica.  While we haven't lived one year in our site yet, I wanted to reflect and share my favorite pictures of Santa Cruz.
