Break in the Rain

It is typhoon season here, and we've had tons of rain the last two weeks.  But, we did have a nice day with blue skies in the middle.  This is one of the views from our training facility.  We love walking to work, seeing the clouds roll in, hearing the birds during class and the general relaxed atmosphere. We have 4 hours of class in the morning and 2 in the afternoon.  The morning classes only have 2-3 students in them, and the afternoon is a one-on-one tutor and then a "large group" of 6.  I love being a student again and just wish I could carve out more time to study. We get home by 4, but so do the girls, and it is pretty much dinner prep on to bedtime until 8.  And then I've always needed my 8 hours at night, so I have to go to bed by 9:30 to be able to start my day at 5:30 and get the girls on the 7am bus!  Saturday is tag-team shopping, laundry and cleaning, and we're hoping for a date night.  Sunday is cooking, blog, church and Skype.  And, then it starts again on Monday.  Sorry for the detail, but our focus is on routines right now.  It is the good kind of busy, though, and we know this year will fly by.  Two of our three shipments came last week, and we're hoping for the last D.C. shipment (the useful stuff like toys and food!) and our car this week.
