7 Weeks and counting!

Hard to believe we've been here for 7 weeks already. We were talking today that we both feel like we have adjusted well, and are so grateful for that. Although we miss friends, family, and nursing at times, we really like it here!

We have taken midterms in all of our classes 2 weeks ago. They were difficult but we actually did surprisingly okay being that came in halfway through! We're getting the hang of this new difficult language, sort of! I think this is our last week meeting with our tutor that is helping us catch up to our classmates, so now we have to catch up on our own! But, instead of 24 hours of language school, we'll only have 18 hours.

We had 2 friends currently residing in Eastern Europe come to visit us. We had so much fun with them and are so glad they got to come visit. Here we are at the square across from our house.

The weather can't make up it's mind. One day we're wearing flip flops, t-shirts, and the pant roll - the next day we need tennis shoes, socks, and a fleece jacket. Although it is VERY dry weather here, we have been getting a few rain showers here and there - which is nice, but hard when you have to bike out in it. We've invested in some SWEET ponchos made specifically for bikes. It is one of the smartest buys we've made here!

We celebrated our 2 year anniversary on May 14th. The last two years went by so quickly. After class (lame) we went to a fancy massage place. We got a room together. They had us change into these cute little outfits (see John's pic) and then gave us complimentary coffee. We soaked our feet while we got our shoulders and arms massaged (they are way too good at finding knots). Then we got a foot rug WHILE another person massaged our scalp and neck. It ruled! Then we went to a fancy dinner and feasted on steak, sushi, real bread, real cheese, pecan pie and pretty much anything you can possibly imagine that is good.

Here's our neighborhood on the weekend:
