Just a quick update- it's hard to believe that we've already been away from Jordan for 10 days. It's been a busy blur... we spent 5 days in England visiting family near Cambridge and friends near Bath. It was a great trip! (We are still getting used to the weather change though- chilly!) Then, we flew to DC for 5 days of house hunting. We've been staying at J's cousin's house, which has been wonderful, especially because they have a darling 2-year-old (8 days older than K) and they have become best pals! We're so happy not to be stuck in a hotel room and K is thrilled to have toys to play with again.
It's fun to feel "Christmassy" now since it's not very celebrated in Jordan and we can't wait to drink eggnog, enjoy the music and lights and maybe make some cookies. I haven't even begun to shop so we're in trouble there... I think we are appreciating the Season much more this year, than in the past. Tomorrow we fly home to MN for a month. We're anxious to see our family and just RELAX! House hunting was stressful...thank God J ordered a GPS to help us locate all of the homes we looked at; we must have seen 20 homes and there was only one that we liked! I really thought that it would be easier... it's a small, cozy home but cute on the inside so once we signed the rental paperwork we were happy to be done with it. We'll be living a little less than a mile from the Ballston Metro if that means anything. J should have an easy commute to school too, which is nice; it will be good to take advantage of the great public transportation here. If you don't mind our cozy quarters, you are welcome to visit us anytime! We should be settled in by the end of Jan. Not sure when I'll write again but I wanted to post a few pics from the past couple of weeks. We also wish everyone a very MERRY Christmas!!!!!! Thanks for keeping up with us over the past year :))
