Settling In...

Coming back to Abuja is easier this time around; we know our surroundings, what to expect, and how to get around. Although I say that, we still find ourselves overwhelmed with things to do. We arrived in Abuja late on the 9th and started work at 8am on the 10th. We haven't stopped since. We've had teacher orientations, school gatherings, and first week preperations. We are now halfway through the first week of school and find ourselves READY for our weekend.

As many of you know, we moved into a new apartment this year. Our new place is brand new and much nicer than our previous residence...it has 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a big kitchen with plenty of cupboard space, 2 balconies, and a pool. We have been working hard to get things situated and setup so that we can feel at home. We have a few more things to do before we have completed this task. Once we are done making our home a home, I will post pictures.

Hard to Say Goodbye

As summer comes to an end, so does our time with friends and family. We enjoy living abroad and love all the experiences and adventures, but leaving loved ones behind is very difficult. This summer was AMAZING! We enjoyed spending time with our family, traveling around the Pacific Northwest, and enjoying yummy food. As we head back to our life in Abuja, we want all of you to know that we LOVED spending time with you this summer and look forward to the time when we meet again.
