Update

Chris and I have been playing tennis for a few weeks now in the evenings. It is the perfect weather right now, not looking forward to the harsh Summer. Maybe I wont be saying that when I live in Washington.

 We thought we would be cute and take pictures with Chris's bike.

 So my lovely sweet Leonie, she is quite the character. She has a lot of attitude and full of life.  We bonded right away and when she gets upset I am the only one she wants. She has come so far, she is ten years old and when she came to us she couldn't speak a word of English (just German). She is now reading and writing, she amazes me. Writing is not her favorite but today she wanted to write about me.  I tried to give her ideas like "Mrs Kerry is Fabulous, and Mrs Kerry is wonderful" she laughed and said "nine, Mrs Kerry". This is all her words.

Mrs Kerry is home.
Mrs Kerry takes Leonie to Math.
Mrs Kerry likes luknch (lunch)
Mrs Kerry mine heart.

My job is still challenging with other students, luckily I am getting quick at defending myself and rarely leave with bruises. I work with some lovely people though and it gets us all through some rough days.

On a completely different note, this traumatized me for life.... I was doing dishes and looked out of the window, I didn't see a sunset or kids playing. I saw 2 wild dogs playing tug or war with my neighbours pet cat. I screamed so loud and ran outside. I threw rocks at the dogs and screamed at them, one dropped the cat. The other carried it across the road where Chris caught up with it and he finally dropped the cat. Hoping the cat had died and not lived through that, no, she was meowing so sad. She died minutes later and her family came to collect her:(
I will never forgot that.

Our house.... So on a brighter note, we have had an offer on our house. They have to sell their house first so we can still market our house and sell to someone else if we get an offer in before they get back to us. We have had many viewings, I hope this one goes through quickly though. We have started looking on the Internet for homes (just looking) and there are some beautiful and huge houses up there in our price range. Its scary not knowing the area or schools though, kind of going in blind, but I know it will all work out.
