Since I have really fallen behind on blogging, here is a quick recap since December. I went home to Texas for Christmas and loved every minute of it. I really enjoyed seeing all my friends and family and got to snuggle with my dog, Molly.
I came back to Kiev and it was freezing cold but beautiful. The city was covered in white. I loved it. Now the temp. is always above freezing and the after we got past the snow melting and leaving behind massive puddles, it now almost feels like spring. I laugh when it's about 40 degrees and I think "gosh, it's warm outside". Hopefully, this isn't the calm before the storm and a huge blizzard comes. I think I have really lucked out with the weather in Ukraine so far.
My grandfather passed away at the end of January. I was determined to jump on a plane and come home but time and money were not on my side. So I stayed here. I have to say thank you to all my friends and family here and abroad that supported me!
I really do not have much to report on. Life here is pretty uneventful. School is great. I love my students. They are always making me smile. I wore a pair of jeans with a white t-shirt and a black suite jacket to work yesterday. One of my students asked why I looked so nice today? I said "don't I always look nice?" Her response "No, not this nice" :)
