I was rather prepared to write the well this was the most boring week down here so far blog... but one little event sorta changed that....
Sunday Scott had flown out to Miami and I spent half the week alone... It was a rather productive week considering I pretty much just cleaned the whole time he was gone... I spent 2 hours on tuesday scrubbing my balcony to try and get it somewhat close to clean... It's safe to say that I somewhat achieved that :) The glass is just such a bitch to get clean so I think we are going to hire someone to clean our balcony so I can watch what they use and how they do it... Our neighbors do something to theirs because it's absolutely spotless and never fogs up.....
One benefit to being alone was I got to watch whatever the hell I wanted on tv.... No boyfriend to come in and change the channel on me while I'm watching Greys anatomy or Private Practice :) Another benefit was having that queen size bed to sprawl out in :)
Wednesday was a nice day :) Jerry who works with Scott had called me on Tuesday and invited me to go out to dinner with him and his wife Jen as a belated bday dinner... We went to a restaurant around the corner from where Scott and I live... I heard Jerry mention something about my birthday in spanish so I just nodded and smiled... After lovely dinner and in the middle of eating the dessert I ordered I hear the Happy Birthday song come on the piano... I started to look around for who else was having a birthday and how lovely that was... I turn to my right and see the waiter bringing me a dessert with a candle in it :) What a great way to end my time without Scott :) He arrived home about an hour after I got home from dinner....
Thursday I started getting a little impatient for him to get home from work beacuse we thought for sure Chief would let him go a little early... He didn't get home till almost 7:30 because he had to take some guy to Polvos Azules and the guy was supposed to take a cab back from there but Jerry is somewhat over paraniod and had Scott drive him all the way back to the embassy and then Scott came home and with traffic that takes a lot longer than it should....
Friday was a nice surprise with Scott arriving home before 6pm... Chief let him go a little early and he stopped by the commisary to get my diet coke and was home before traffic got too bad :) Grilled up some burgers and made homemade beer battered onion rings... I watched a movie while Scott drifted off.... I can't blame the guy too much... Got in late Wednesday and then stuck at work late Thursday and then had to go in early... I guess I would be a little wiped out too....
Saturday was acutally somewhat productive... Once we got going we made it out to the market by the college where they have a butcher shop with great prices and really good meat... I have determined that I like to see my meat the way I would buy it back home in the states... Between the fuzzy little happy pictures of the animals frolicking in the sunshine and grass behind the counter and seeing them butterflied open and chopped up........ I got a little grossed out and traumatized... Next time I will wander the market and look at other stuff while Scott looks like the crazy rich gringo buying up all the meat.... We stopped at the Plaza Veya where I actually got brave and attempted to ask where the toasters were that weren't part of a bundle package... Toaster achieved :) Got the rest of the groceries and came home so Scott could use his Food Saver to vacuum seal the meat... I don't know why I fought the good fight and hated that thing when I was younger and my parents bought one... That thing was kinda fun and cool... Now I know I'm getting old when I find vacuum sealing meat fun....
Polvos Azules is where we went next... And for you Tacoma folks, we will call it the B&I of Lima... Now I can say I've seen what the real Lima kinda looks like considering I live in the fake Lima... We just came to buy a few dvds for beyond cheap and Scott said next time we will come back and he'll let me do a little bit of actual shopping :) We basically bummed around for a few hours till it was time to start grilling the flank steak for dinner...
This dinner was supposed to be what we were going to have on my birthday but since Scott had to leave we just postponed it... Totally delicious dinner :) Well worth the wait... My man sure can cook and grill :) We went out for a couple drinks after dinner and clearly I was rather tired my first night here because I had to ask if it was that crowded and busy before... I was moderately successful in my attempt to order a shot of bailey's for my cafe ameretto... I'm sure I'll get it better figured out as time goes on but I did obtain said shot after having to point to a menu and her bringing me 2 different sizes of glasses to confirm which size I meant... We went to some bar at the end of Pizza Alley and had a couple beers before returning home and attempted to watch a movie... Scott started dozing off again and therefore I got mad... We had a few drinks on the balcony and there were some brides doing photos in the park... Like usual I point that stuff out to Scott and say "must be nice....."
I guess you could say I got to eat those words "must be nice" because much to my suprise at like 2am when we are going to bed, I got the biggest surprise that I could ask for... Scott proposed!!! After much disbelief of the entire situation, I finally managed to get out an acutal yes :) I totally had to go call my mom and then my sister because I am overly emotional and could not contain any amount of excitement :) and then we called his sisters cause they were awake with the time differences.... I think we went to bed around 4:30am... I probably didn't need those extra couple vodka beverages after getting proposed to but oh well :)
I might have looked and felt like ass on Sunday but my ring sure looks good :) I'm still in the holy shit! phase but eventually I'll come down out of the clouds and to ground level :)
Well here is to week 3 :)

Moderate Success.... Week one finished!!
Overall I would say I completed week one with moderate success... I only had one very slight emotional outburst on thursday and have somewhat been able to navigate and communicate on my own....
Wednesday I would like to be one of my most successful and fullfilling days down here.... Pricing pillows and finding a bed set out here kinda went out the door when I discovered that down here what I could find near by was going to run us $300.... New bedding is kinda pricey but it doesn't need to be that pricey... It was still nice to discover I can buy clinique and Clarins for makeup down here if I really want :)
Onto the Inka Market.... It's rather large and somewhat interesting to wander around... I will have to go back and wander and maybe do a little shopping for me... I was on a bday gift mission so I stayed focused on that (and since I had a limited allowance which only allowed for bday gifts).... I think Scott needs to come wander with me so we can pick out some lovely peruvian art to hang above the couch....
After bringing that stuff home I decided I needed to focus on what to make for dinner... Tuesday having been the first time I've cooked for Scott in say about a year......... I know, I know.... I'm a horrible girlfriend... To step up my cooking game and lack there of... I made chicken flautas from scratch!!!!! This was either going to be epic fail and we would have to go out to dinner or it was going to be a success and added to the list of must cook more often meals.... Great news people!!! It turned out totally awesome and delicious!
Thursday was a fairly nice day overall... I decided I should check out the beach.... I'm quite surprised I didn't abandon ship when I saw how many stairs I was going to have to go down and then back up.... Once I got down there I'm going to have to say I was rather underwhelmed by it... It smelled funny, it's rocky, and the water was looking a little sketchy that day.... So my plans for trying out surfing are out the door... I guess beaches to the south of Lima are nicer so maybe I'll still give it a whirl.... I snapped enough photos of the beach and decided to embark on "the death hike" back up.... I did have to sit my out of shape ass on a bench for a mintue when I finally made it to the top....
I continued this walking adventure to the Parque del Amore... It is rather nice to have so many parks right by the apartment... Some people seem to take the literal of Parque del Amore.... I have yet to see anyone doing it on a bench at night but it seems like a strong possibility.... Since I found the park and the weather to be rather enjoyable I just kept on walking until I got the lovely lighthouse down the way :)
Today was leftover day since we were going out friday and saturday.... After dinner I may or may not have had a slight emotional break down because I felt a smidge homesick... I guess this would be a normal feeling since I would normally be on a plane and back home by then... And seeing all the puppies happy in the park and napping in the shade of the lighthouse made me miss my puppy... I guess once I squeezed out some tears I felt a lot better.....
Friday!!!! Party time!!!!!!! We went to that St. Patrick's Day party at the Marine's House... Good times and nice to meet some people finally! Nicole is only down here until end of May or June I think... Chief was an interesting and fun guy to meet... plus he is a good dancer :) Scott did enjoy himself some Guinness... I had one as well... We left a lot later than we planned on but it was all in good fun... Not to rub it into my fellow WA friends but I totally downed some TGIF's potato skins on the Three-For-All platter.... We popped in there for a snack and drink before heading home and crashing out....
Saturday!!! Time to celebrate my birthday one day early :) We knocked out a few errands before going to lunch and then relaxing... Once we got around to getting ready I would say we turned out to be a rather snazzy good looking couple :) I mean we already are but we just looked extra good :) At dinner I was surprised with some papers that as I started to unfold contained the word "Spa".... My love decided since he couldn't be here on my birthday that I deserved a manicure and pedicure at the Zest Spa on the 11th floor of the Park Hotel.... This would be a very fancy hotel that Beyonce stayed at when she came to Lima... Dinner was absolutely delicious... We both got 2 different kinds of steak and I think I had the better set up with mine but the steak itself was in my opinion some of the best steak I've ever had... We followed up dinner with an after dinner drink at the bar upstairs since he still had dessert at home to make me....
I was good and I sttayed out of the kitchen while he was making this dessert... I started growing concerened when I heard cursing and he said he had to redo it... I still resisted temptation to find out what the hell he was doing in there... Now when one starts shouting my name and comes walking out of a kitchen with a pan of fire, I definitly get concerened.... Concern quickly turned to joy when I realized he had just made me my all time favorite dessert... Bananas Foster!!!!!! Not the best I've ever had but it was still super sweet that he made it for me :) While having some drinks out on the balcony shortly after midnight, fireworks started going off! Totally random and unplanned but totally awesome.... I would have to say this was one of the best birthdays I've had :)
Yesterday being my actual birthday was kinda lame... Scott had to leave around 9:15am :( So I opened my cards from my family before he left... I kinda just hung out till I had to walk up to my mani/pedi appt.... That was nice and relaxing... Now the goal is to not trash it before Scott gets back :) I skyped with my parents for an hour or so when I got back and then I attempted to try and call Nicole back... We were supposed to have dinner together for my birthday so I wouldn't be totally alone... I seriously tried what seems like every different way and option of calling her back using the Peruvian housephone... I seriously need lessons... I was trying the Peru code.. the area code... everything... I didn't think it would be so hard to call a mobile phone from that phone.... I would get all this random spanish that I don't understand and no ringing... I finally gave up and went to dinner alone... I did get rather bummed at dinner cause I was alone but it was a decent meal :) I came home and skyped with my lovely boyfriend for awhile before he had to go to bed since he is an hour ahead of me right now... I almost fell asleep watching tv on the couch before I finally climbed into bed and crashed out....
Now here we are day 2 alone in a foreign country.... It really sounds worse than it probably is... I'm probably going to go up to Vivanda and get some dishwashing/cleaning gloves so I can clean and not trash this manicure :) Kinda strange that Scott and I have switched rolls.... He's alone in the US in small hotel room and I'm here in Peru in an overly large apartment... Before it was him in this apartment and I was alone for awhile in my small studio apt :) Only 2 more nights alone and then he's back :)
Here's to week 2!!!!!!!

Hello Peru!
So far I have to say that I like it here... There are a couple things I don't like such as my lack of spanish skills and that Scott has to leave on Sunday for some training but what can I do?
Getting here was not my favorite part... It came complete with being stuck on my plane from Seattle to NY for 2 hours longer than expected followed by a not so mild meltdown at JFK.... My poor mother having to listen to my constant babbling of "How the fuck do I get from terminal 2 to terminal 4???" I couldn't find a map let alone anyone to help me.... There was only one random man getting into an elevator that could tell how lost and confused I was and guided me in the right direction! So because of that man I lean towards not all NY people are rude... Once I got where I needed to go I couldn't check in till 4am and then I couldn't find a decent place to sit down and charge my phone which resulted in me feeling more frustrated and having said meltdown.... Probably didn't help myself much having only had a caesar salad and a granola bar.... Once I got a crappy nap and wasn't so cranky it was time to check in and then I finally felt like I was getting closer to getting to my new home :)
Flying into Columbia was beautiful! Thank god I actually woke up for that... I was in a light sleep the entire 6 hours... I am going to publically apologize to the guy next to me if I snored for those 6 hours... My bad... If I didn't snore than I hope I was still a good sleeping passenger to sit next to... We actually landed a little early and all my fears of not making it to my next flight on time were quickly gone once I found out that my plane to Peru was taking off at gate 9 and I was at gate 8 :)
My flight from Columbia was kind of annoying since they gave me an emergacy exit seat and I don't speak spanish so they moved me which resulted in 2 girls who had the seat I got moved to being mad at me... First of all it's not my fault I got moved to where I got moved to and it's also not my fault that both of them had seat 12A... Then the flight attendant never gave me my boarding pass back... Once I gave up on getting that back and made my way down to get my Visa, I was rather happy Scott had emailed me what I needed to say in Spanish because that chic was not understanding why I wanted to stay for 183 days in english... Once she read the paper she put 183 days and sent me onto customs.... I had to fill out the form 3 times cause the first one they gave me was in spanish and I didn't get it and then I didn't need to declare the wine I brought so 3rd time is a charm right??
Well lucky me! I get to have my bags searched!!! Of course the guy wants to search the heaviest one that needs to go on the bottom of my luggage cart..... That I was not a fan of... It worked out okay cause the platform they had it on to search was just high enough I could just push it right ontop of the other suitcase.... Once I was all loaded up again on the luggage cart I made my way to freedom!
I really wish Scott had remembered his camera to get video of little me pushing my really big luggage pile towards him.... This is where I would like to disagree with Scott on what I did when I saw him... He would say I burst into tears and I would like to say a few leaked out before gently streaming down my face out of pure joy and hapiness... I finally got to see my love after 5 months... The drive home wasn't too horrible... We didn't get to go along the ocean like he had planned because they closed that road due to the pending tsunami....
Finally at home <3 and finally a shower! On a good note apparently I'm still found to be attractive after 24 hours of no shower and barely any sleep :) The plan to call my parents didn't work out so good since the internet decided to be down and I could not use our magic jack phone.... Apparently next time I should just risk incuring a bunch of international fees to avoid wide spread panic amongst both sets of parents.... Oopsie! I had to wait to get up to the starbucks that has wifi after dinner to use the vonage app...
After another emotional crying incident later that night... probably influenced by being tired and too many Scottie Scotch's summertime strawberry lemonades.... I woke up on saturday feeling like ass to find out the power was out.... Welcome to Peru! first no internet and then no power lol.... Once I got moving and nibbled on a sandwich we headed out so I could get a hair dryer and curling iron... Those were purchased at the super walmart of peru... Then we went to Wong's which is a grocery store... After bringing the groceries home and a conversation with my mom since the power was back on we took a walk up to Larcomar...
Larcomar is basically a mall with tons of restaurants built into the cliffside :) It was rather cool and I'll have to check it out more... We had an amazing dinner, some after dinnner drinks and a nice walk home...
Sunday we went to the Sodiamac which is basically Peru's version of a Lowe's... We did not find the type of storage container for under my side of the sink we were looking for.... Drove back home and then walked up to park Kennedy for lunch... After lunch Scott showed me how to get to the Inka market and Vivanda (another grocery store that I can walk to).... For dinner we just grilled at home... He made the bacon wrapped chicken courdon bleu and I made the rice...
Yesterday I will count as my first real day here.... Scott was at work and I was home alone... I didn't make it outside other than on the balcony because I was an organizing machine... I figured the sooner I get unpacked and organized the sooner I can just enjoy being here and exploring... As a result of being on such an organizing kick, I failed to plan out or cook anything for dinner... So once Scott got home and I showed off all my awesome organization, we went to this really good Arabic place for dinner....
Today's adventure was me going up to the Vivanda by myself to get the rest of the stuff to make dinner with and I might take a walk in the park before Scott gets home.... and I actually will be making dinner :) Tomorrow I think my adventure should include pricing pillows if they have them at the Ripley's department store and searching for bday gifts at the Inka market :) Hopefully Scott will get home at a decent time tonight like he did last night :)
