Christmas Time

Soooo I'm doing a horrible job keeping you updated on my life! Sorry about that. Yesterday was really crazy, moving into our new apartment, taking that twenty minute walk to our place with 5 bags, and after finally getting there finding out that my subway card had disappeared. But, we are moved in, almost unpacked, and I can't wait to be able to come back there every day and just relax. I took the bus today, which could have been worse. I got off at the wrong stop (it's 10 stops going home from work and 11 going to work from home) and was twenty minutes late for my class. I don't think they cared though, they have a singing competition tomorrow so they were all practicing for it when I got there. Sometimes I think the other teachers are happy when they have more time with the students so they can get more done with them, especially now when they also have to do Christmas stuff on top of the stuff their students are supposed to be learning.

Here's a picture of one of the student's letters to Santa. I think her Mom helped her with it or something, she gave it to me a couple days after we did it (most of the student's letters are pretty simple, but this one made me laugh).

OH! One night, it was really really windy. We had a glass ceiling in our other apartment, and the wind was blowing bricks onto it. I was sooo scared that it was going to come crashing down (thankfully the window wasn't over our bed), but it didn't. Here's a picture of it:

Ok, here's what you've been waiting for. Here are pictures of our new apartment! It's still messy (trying to figure out where to put stuff), and we're waiting to see if they want us to keep those boxes or not. It's a studio, so it's not really big, but it has amazing lighting and we have our first couch.

There is a kitchen, but I didn't really take a pic of it, and there's a washing machine in the kitchen area too. Ummmm, I think that's all. I want to find Christmas decorations, but I don't know if I'll have time before Christmas. We're going to a Christmas Eve service on Friday, and just relaxing on Saturday. Sadly, we both work on Sunday, so we don't get too much of a break, but it will be nice.

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas and a Happy New Year!
