news for the 4th of September






Hi everyone...I hope you are well. This week we have been involved in orientation for our school. Next week classes start. We are excited to be here and settled and we are looking forward to starting classes though everyone tells us classes are alot of work and we will be very busy, they may be right, but we'll see. Jamie is probably only going to take 3 classes and I will take a full load of 16 or 17 credits (5 or 6 classes).
We will both be taking some linguistic courses including phonetics, sociology of language and something about vernacular media (non-print). But I will additionally be taking Greek (probably) and something else I forget at the moment.
I am excited, but I don't want to lose our family life for the sake of our schooling. I want to have a good a balance.
In other news, we are in the process of buying a car. its a 88 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon, something to get us around nothing fancy. We are buying it from a missionary who flys planes for an organization here in Nairobi. I will post pictures as soon at I take them. I think its a good setup.
Thats it for now, thanks for staying posted. see ya.

PS. more pictures. The flower I took the other day and I thought they came out pretty neat. The others are self-explanatory.
