Broke into the new apartment...

Another busy weekend ahead of me...cleaning, cooking and prepping for lessons. Several of our business classes finish this upcoming week, so it is imperative that we look for more teaching opportunities. I have been fortunate to find many students who need tutoring for the TOEFL exam. I have finally adjusted to my work week and now I have to restructure my courses again in order to prioritize these new students.

Several of my family members have urged me to post pictures of our new apartment. Since this is a rather slow weekend, I decided this would be a good time to show you the new place! We moved from Sol to a quieter neighborhood a bit north. We're right by the metro, the grocery store and our bank (very convenient).

Here's a picture of the front door.



When you walk in, the kitchen is the first thing you see. Here are two pictures of the kitchen.





I'm very excited about the kitchen not only because we have four burners instead of one. We also have an OVEN! When we perused around for apartments, we discovered that most apartments are not equipped with ovens.



This is our bedroom. We apologize for the horrid bedspread, but it is a conglomerate of items we were able to find when we moved in. The former owners took their quilts so we bought these zebra blankets in desperation for warmth. In any case, they suit for the time being.



When you walk down the hall, you come to the living room, where Anthony has set up his work desk. It's more for his drawings than for constructing lesson plans...



That little table is my desk next to our windows. The large window/door leads to our balcony!



Here's a better picture of our balcony! We haven't sat outside much since it's now getting cold. Sometimes, I like to sit inside and stare at the view.



Here's our couch and tv. It's quite a lot of space, so it will be wonderful for our Thanksgiving feast next weekend!

That's all for now!
