Jared and his Colombian girlfriend, Catherine, flew from Arizona to Utah to spend four days with us. We had never met Catherine before, so it was a treat to be able to meet her and to have them in our home for those days.
Besides eating out and having a joint meal with Eric's family and Ryan, we weren't able to do much with them because of inclement weather the first two days, but one fun thing we did inside our home was to carve a pumpkin.
Evidently, they don't have pumpkins in Colombia. Squash, yes, but no pumpkins. Because Catherine had never carved a pumpkin before, Jared decided to purchase one and let her give it a try. She did very well - especially for a first attempt.
Opening the top and the tactile feeling of gutting the innards is something Catherine won't soon forget.
Catherine is a sweet gal and seems very good for Jared. They make a cute couple. It was hard for me to communicate with Catherine because of the language barrier - I don't know much Spanish and she doesn't know much English. Maybe I should study Spanish a little harder before our next meeting...assuming there will be another one.
