We are lucky

Ok, finally I can write a post. I guess I should tell why I have not been able. As some of you know, our computer stopped working on the 8th. It is never great when your computer brakes, but it is worse when it is your connection with so many things and a purple, red, and blue screen happens, what does that mean. We were lucky that our town has a good computer repair shop behind our apartment and VERY lucky that the main service tech speaks English. It took the store a week to find the problem and get the computer working again. Bad news was that it was a temporary fix and they didn't know how long it would last. I guess on the 3rd, the computer bag slipped off of John's shoulder and hit the concrete floor on the one place where it bag was not padded. OPPS!! A internal board was cracked and they had glued it together. Well, exactly one week after it was fixed the problem happened again. So, the bad news is that we need to get a new laptop. The good news is that right before we left we bought international property insurance and accidental damage is covered. YEA!! We have already started the process. Our adjuster seemed very easy to work with and we are only waiting for an embassy report to file all of the paperwork.

Other than our computer problems, not much has been happening. Personally, I was excited to find out that a member of our English club works for the orphanage in town. The orphanage houses 50 kids between the ages of 6 days to 3 years old. We are working on setting up a visit. As some of you know, I worked with children in this age group. I am defiantly looking forward interacting with children this age again. I have discovered, while being here, that I enjoy younger children much more than 12 and up.

Have a Great Thanksgiving!!

Winter came

Within the last 30 hours Razgrad has turned from cool Fall days to a Winter wonderland.

Last two weeks

The last two and half weeks have seemed to fly by. I am not sure why. My classes have been getting shorter and shorter. They are suppose it be 45 minutes long, but last week they were 35 minutes and then this week they were 25 minutes long. My school changed to schedule because it was SO COLD in the rooms. My school has central heating but for some reason it just turned on today. The building is slowly starting to warm up.

We have had our first snow flakes. On Halloween we had snow flakes in the air. Nothing stayed, everything melted when it touched to ground. Bulgarians are now saying that we are going to have a long and cold winter. Great, I can't wait!

Two weekends ago, John and I went to Sofia for our required flu shots. Since we are not in that part of the country much we decided to visit Rila Monastery. It was beautiful. The leaves were starting to change and it was sunny day. Hopefully we will be able to spend some more time there later and do some hiking

YEA!!!

We have HEAT!! Our central heating just kicked on. Maybe tomorrow we won't wake-up to a 50 degree room.
