new address!

hello my loves!

everything is pretty much the same here in E town. Teaching, teaching, cooking, playing, more teaching. I love it. The kids are amazing. Teachers are hilarious. My fellow volunteers rock my world, etc. It's great.

Rachel and I are planning on combining efforts on two different projects that we hope to see do some good. One is an art class and the other is story hour at the local library. There is much planning and organizing to be done in the meantime.

In other news, there is now a new addition to my apartment. I went in search for a pet rabbit and came home with a dog. Her name is etgel (hope) and she is quite the character. I washed her 3 times, cut off massive amounts of her tangled fur, and she seems to enjoy not having to hunt for food. She shows me her appreciation by peeing near my bed. It's love. =)

I hope all of you are also busy and focused Enjoy the warmth of the states. I was sitting at the Peace Corps office the other day after a conference and my eyes caught a glimpse of the thermometer. It read 32 degrees. Mind you, this was 2 in the afternoon. I thought of how cold i was in that moment, then traced the lines that counted down to - 45 degrees. I have a long way to go and a very short window to enjoy the heat associated with 30 degrees above zero. I do however own a camel wool blanket. Bring on the snow! =)
