It's a small world after all

1. I went down to Springfield one.last.time this morning. It took 14 minutes once I got there. Wahoo!

2. Our water heater died today and needs to be replaced tomorrow. In the meantime, it's leaking water all over the basement floor when the water is turned on.

3. Both Bryan and I think we're coming down with sinus infections. Nice.

3. Now the small world story. So anyway, friends of ours found this blog of an American living in our kids' city. Keep in mind this city is several hundred thousand people. This lady seems to do lots of volunteering and wrote that she went to an orphanage to make cookies and teach English to a little girl who was going to be adopted by a family in the US. I emailed her to see if she wanted to hang out while we were there (Is that weird? I have emailed another lady who is the friend of a former student, too - we're broadening our horizons!). Anyway, it turns out that she is the one who was giving our kids English lessons. Isn't that amazing? She said they were GREAT kids!

    Love stories like this! It'll be reassuring to have someone who understands your culture when you're immersed in another. Can't wait to hear all the other stories that are going to emerge throughout your adventure!
