Nossa Casa!

Yay we are officially in our house! We have so many projects that we want to do and can't wait to do them. Our house is small and infested with bugs and lizards but we are coping and getting used to the fact that we will have unwanted visitors for the next two years. I have made an attempt to name the lizards...they are all called Lenny and I am hoping Lenny will control our bug situation. Right now he sucks at his job. Our electricity has been out more than we have actually had it, which means our electric stove is useless. We are going to invest in a coal stove or gas stove for those days without electricity. Did I mention we have a lot of bugs?! It is ridiculous and I am even more thankful for my mosquito net! Ok back to the house...we have two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. Our bathroom is outside and we also have a covered little gazebo type structure outside too which we love! We have decided that we are going to make our house as modern as possible. Arden made a toilet paper holder for our bathroom and a little table for the hand sanitizer. We made bamboo closets and rugs for our bedrooms. We are looking to get some couches and tables made for our living room and some countertops and shelves for our kitchen. I have taken some before pics and will post the after pics when we get all of our projects completed! We are so happy to be in our home. It is nice to be close to the school but we are not thrilled about being farther away from the market. We are going to get a bike though so hopefully it won't be such a pain. There is a bar across the street that is run by an awesome man. We went to say hello last night and he ended up giving us watermelon...it was delicious! We had our old neighbor, Sergio and another friend, Anastancio visit last night. We are always making friends! The people here are just so nice. We had a student come to us today who is not able to pay for school so we decided that he can do some work for us and we will help pay for his school. I am always wanting to give food and money to kids here but that is dangerous to do because they will expect and then never leave you alone.

Thank you all for your continuous support! Check out the pics...and my other pages too!
