Another Chapter of Life Begins

Wow, here already, in the country I have been working toward for a very long time. Hard to believe as I walk the streets and read signs from a language I am only slightly familiar with. I arrived Saturday afternoon. Since then, I have met my coworkers, begun unpacking, bought a cell phone with my coworker's help, done some grocery shopping, slept some, went to visit Red Square, took the subway, and tried to adjust to this schedule. It has been wonderful to be here and experience where I will be living.

Crazy Weekend

Wow, Quite the experience.
I was headed to see Mom in Savannah, GA when I hydroplaned and lost control of the car, to end up in a shallow ditch of water with the car on its side. The car is basically totaled. I am fine, just sore. So now I am sitting at home while my brother uses my car for work and I get stuff done like, taxes, emails, thank you's and the like.

The trip to Savannah is hopefully my last trip before I head out to Moscow on March 27th. My tickets are bought, and I am just finishing last minute things. I am very excited, but feel like I have so much to do still.

It snowed on the way home. I got to get out and build a snowman on the side of the road. So cold, but so much fun.
