Quick Catch Up!

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" :)
