New Living.

Erdenet
is
Fantastic.

I honestly can say that my life has not been this mellow since I was 12. =)
After leaving UB, I went to the camp that I will be working at in the summer for a few days before coming to Erdenet and moving in. Now I am completely settled in, equipped with my laundry haning lines on my apartment balacany.

Did i mention that I have hot running water? I am pretty sure I almost cried when I felt the steam coming out of the pipes. It was a fantastic surprise.

Other than that, nothing is happening. School doesn't start until next week so I have just been organizing my classroom and meeting my fellow teachers. I did however cut the mess out of my arm the other day when i decided to take on 4 boys in a game of basketball. The gravel here is brutal. It was still incredible and they got a kick out of seeing a big white girl play ball. I have a feeling it will become my Saturday ritual.

In 2 days I will be reunited with most fantastic man on the planet. Nick flies in to visit me for the next two weeks and watch me completely butcher the Mongolian language as I give a speech at my school's opening ceremony. He also gets the great pleasure of watching me bake my first birthday cake in Mongolia using a toaster oven. Yup. Good times ahead for all. =)

I miss you all so much. The interent in Erdenet isn't too bad so the blogging will most definitely continue. Brace yourself for the many hilarious stories that are about to take place when they put me in charge of people's education.

Hope all is well in the States.
all my love,
kim
