November

I can hardly believe it's November!

This is our last month in the Village.
What an experience. Being surrounded by fellow students and living in the same conditions! Having the bowl in our front yard, and just a great outdoor environment all together to help compensate for the cinderblock walls on the inside. Paying for laundry with quarters, having maintenance jimmy-rig everything. Getting to know families from so many different parts of the country and world! For a while trying to work a full-time job and take classes full-time. Doing homework and cramming for finals. Hand-washing dishes. Constantly fighting dust-bunnies. Sledding the hill. Playing softball. Going to play group. Watching half our ward leave every semester end and meeting a new half ward the next week. Seeing the trends in pregnancies and births. Living with an ominous sounding window air conditioner, and an apartment that stays the same temperature no matter what you do. Helping friends clean and move out or just switch apartments.
I tell you what, it is not an experience we'll forget, and we have loved it!
