Finally! Here are pictures of our new apartment! It's very pink. I think I am finally getting over the pink-overload trauma of my youth. Anyway, it's a very nice apartment; everything's new!
It's an interesting layout, because of all sliding glass doors / windows. When you walk inside, there is the living room, then through 1 glass door, there's our bedroom. Then through another glass door, there's the bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is a little awkward for me; so I usually cook outside in the back. The small half-fridge is in the living room, because there's no where to put it in the kitchen. :) But that's ok, since we eat in the living room. It's about a 5 minute drive from the school and in a neighborhood with a guard, so convenient and safe.
I've been finishing up projects for the Mission, and should package/burn them on a disc soon. I've also been teaching a couple conversational ESL classes at the university, and, helping as a designer/consultant with the Translation Center (again). I'm busy, but scattered. So, it's kind of tough for me, since I really like having a regular daily routine. Seyha's been busy with his classes and this week, he's doing an intensive class.
With God's help, we're doing our best to support each other during this busy time. Also, we're praying about the future, because I don't know what other work I'll get next month. I'll still have work with the Translation Center, but my teaching contract will finish end of this month. Anyway, I'm trying not to worry, and so far God has provided much for us.
The big blue thing on the right is a cupboard/pantry for food and storage. Straight back, is where we hang our clothes and there's another sink outside (I'm guessing it's for washing clothes or gutting fish?).
It's hard to get a picture of the bathroom, just behind this sliding glass door, by that pink shelf. But it's very modern, and we even have hot water for the shower! Yeah!
Window and sliding glass door into the living room.
In the living room facing the front porch.
From the porch, facing into the living room.
View from our porch. Most of the houses in our neighborhood are very colorful. They're building another little house across the lawn from us. It looks so tiny! I think it will only have 1 room.
View to the left (from the stairs going down).
These stairs can be tricky, especially if you've got your arms full. To the right of our apartment, is an identical one (just flipped), but it faces more west-ward, so I didn't want an apartment that would get so hot. It's nicer too, because we have a nice lawn to look out onto, and our back door goes down a side path. I'm so thankful for all the beautiful trees and flowers we have around us! Much nicer than sewage and pollution!
Someone has amazing driving skills. :)
On our way to school/work!
