We're Moving!

Soooooo I haven't written in awhile, I'm sorry, I know my life is soooo important to you. Thanksgiving was fun. We were able to eat pie and turkey (they DO have turkey in China!), sweet potatoes, mac n cheese, and other things. It was really good. We hung out with people afterwards and got to know some people. I haven't made brownies yet, but I went to her place and made pumpkin pie with her. It was fun.

So, like my title says, we're moving in a week. We found a new place that's REALLY nice and closer to our jobs/school. I will take a 20 min bus ride instead of an 50 min subway ride and a 20 min walk and Dan will either walk or take a bus to campus. It's a studio apartment (pictures will come later) with a couch (our first since our marriage), and bathroom (that is NOT the same room as the kitchen, AND you can poop in it), and I don't think anyone has lived in it before. It's like brand brand new. Now I just have to figure out all the new shopping places and stuff.

Because we're moving up north, I will probably have to quit my tutoring job cause it'll be really far away...but it will make everyone sad, cause they like me a lot and they're fun to teach, so we'll see what happens. We're hoping to be completely moved in by Christmas, and we will spend our first Christmas in our new place.

I stole the idea from another teacher to have my 1st graders write letters to Santa (it's English month, so we get to do lots of fun activities with them), and I had already explained who Santa was in a previous class, so when the teacher translated that they were writing him letters asking for stuff they all cheered, like, really really cheered. I felt like a horrible person when the teacher said they actually thought I would be sending the letters. Oh well. They probably won't remember in a couple weeks anyway.

I hope everyone is enjoying the almost holidays and that you get a lot of snow for Christmas!
