3rd Week of School

Despite having a short week at school this week because of the typhoon, it sure felt awfully long.  Justin is still getting over the lingering parts of his cold, and mine came full force early in the week.  We are doing better now, but it makes the days of teaching seem longer, that's for sure.

There really isn't a whole lot to report from this week.  We had friends over Friday night for pizza and games and had a great time! Saturday we got to Skype with both of our families, and after that we made a Costco run.  We finally broke down and got a convection oven, and then we also found a Crock Pot! YAY!! We are so excited to be able to cook with a bit more of variety.

The most exciting part of the week, though, was probably on Friday when Justin got his Alien Card! That means we can now get a bank account, and then internet, and then he can get a phone.  It also means that I can now apply for my dependent visa! All great news!

We are looking forward to this coming week mostly because at the end of it, we get a 5 day weekend! The following Monday-Wednesday we don't have school because of the Korean holiday Chuseok.  It's celebrated kind of like Thanksgiving - meaning that families get together the same we we tend to. It doesn't mean the same thing though.  And we hear that the streets will be bare and that a lot of stores will be closed those days.  We are actually going to be on a church retreat for a few days during that time, so we are extra excited!

I'll leave you with a picture that I took out of our veranda Friday night.  I love our view!
