It's Sunday night, and I'm already preparing myself. I'm preparing myself for tomorrow... Monday. Let me just tell you about my Mondays. I have four classes to teach on Mondays. I know that might not sound like much, but my first class starts at 8:00am and my last starts at 8:00pm. And, as I work for 3 different English institutes, none of the classes are in the same place, and if you didn't know this already, Santiago is a big city! By the end of the day on Monday I have taught 5 hours of English class, spent about 1 - 2 hours planning lessons, taken 8 buses, and walked for a total of about 60 minutes. Needless to say, when I get home at around 10:00pm on Monday nights, I AM TIRED. However, last Monday night when I walked in my door, this is what I found waiting for me...
The table was set, there were candles, there was music, and there was dinner, all prepared and waiting! Rodrigo had made an incredible dinner of Choripan and pebre (my favorite Chilean foods), grilled chicken and vegetables, mashed potatoes, corn, salad, and Black Forest Cake for dessert! I obviously couldn't eat it all.. but everything was DELICIOUS! It was so sweet and thoughtful and definitely turned my Monday around!
*You might be wondering why there is a pill bottle on the table. Well, I have to take a medicine with food, and Rodrigo was SO thoughtful that he put the pills on the table for me, so I would have everything I needed! What a sweetheart!*

How nice of Rodrigo to make dinner for you and have it waiting on you when you got home! Romanitic! OK..now that I say "romantic", I'll ask, is he your man?? :)
Looks like you're having a great time.
I'm glad that you are doing this "once in a lifetime" opportunity.
Have fun, God bless!

Yeah, I am with Tracy, is he? Miss you friend!
Way to go, Rodrigo! :o)
That was so thoughtful, and what a wonderful surprise to come home to after a long day.

Rodrigo is a very thoughtful, good-looking young man! I just found your blog tonight as I was looking through blogs. I started with Blessed Assurances, went to Jodi, went to Tracy, clicked on here and VOILA! You have a man cooking you romantic dinners, down to remembering to give you your pills. How cool is that! Can we get the scoop? (By the way, this is Susan and Gunnar's mom!)
How nice is that? Really encourage stuff like the dinner and candles. Anyway, it's sure good to catch up with you by blog! The girls went to a VBS like the marketplace y'all had, and they loved it. They still ask why I won't let them use their wooden hammers around the house. You take care! Love, Robyn
Well he is just too sweet! That is just so thoughtful! Hope to get to see you sometime soon, whether it's here or there! Take care friend!
