7 quick takes Friday

[7_quick_takes_sm.jpg]

So a friend of mine does every once in a while - it's called 7 Quick Takes Friday and it's just a blurb about life that week. W/out further ado, here we go:

#1 Saturday was a busy day ... Felix and I had a pre-marital counseling session in the morning - after a waffle breakfast! Then we went to the park and to an Easter market. I picked out some Easter eggs, so next year we can have our own pussy willow branches with Easter eggs. It was so fun picking them out. Look for pictures next year! ;)

#2 Sunday was church and I translated for New City Wien church. After the church service, we had another pre-marital counseling meeting. It was a good and enlightening session about what kinds of disagreements or difficulties we think we will face in our marriage. It's good to know that even if we disagree, we can find a solution and still love each other.

#3 The school week started off well. I enjoyed having a volunteer come in and help with some of my classes. This allowed me to split up the different levels in one class and get some extra work done while she worked alone with another class.

#4 Tuesday, my roommate and I had some time together and were able to relax over a dinner and a TV show. Then we both worked on various things. Not really an exciting day ...

#5 I had a night alone at home on Wednesday. I got some work done and called a few friends in the States. I love quiet evenings.

#6 Game day with the kids at school. Since it was the last day before break, it's kinda hard for things to get done and not just have fun! After school, I met Felix and we went and bought a couch!!! After many months of searching and going from furniture store to furniture store, we have FINALLY made a decision. AND it went on sale this week AND they finally are offering it in the color we wanted! Now it's just a matter of waiting 7-8 weeks until we get it ...

#7 Staff Work Day and a trip to the embassy - one more step closer on the legal side of getting married! Felix and I also went suit shopping tonight and now that is another thing to check off the list - we were successful!! :)

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't

a little check in on life over here

-- We had our "big reveal" on facebook. It looks like we'll be having another little girl! We're thrilled for a little sister for Zoey, plus the bonus of recycling all our baby girl clothes is awesome! But most importantly, baby is healthy and all is looking well!-- -- The weather here has been so great. We've been meeting lots of friends at playgrounds and parks and going for walks. It's fun to be able to play on the playground with Zoey now that she can walk and do things! But also very tiring for this pregnant mama! --  -- We've been doing lots of house things ... looking at doors, fences, different types of floors, kitchen appliances, etc. Next WEEK , they will start the digging part of building the house and then the following week , the basement will be built!! YAY, things are finally getting started!! So curious to see how all this is going to go. We stopped some new neighbors and introduced ourselves and let them now things wi

Done w/ orientations!!

On Thursday, the last day of orientations was completed! All the new staff has had a busy last 3 weeks, but they were very informative (sometimes overload on information though). It feels great to be done with orientations and to be starting school. School starts on Monday and things at the school have been crazy trying to get things ready to go. There is a rather large construction project taking place at the school and we have been working on that since the construction workers are behind schedule ... we've been tearing off paint, repainting, cleaning, etc. My classes will not start until Thursday, since elementary has half days until then. I'm so thankful for the extra time to get things done and be prepared for my classes. I'm a bit unsure as of what to do in classes ... so I'm hoping I'll come across some great ideas! Prayers for this are greatly appreciated!
