We are working on painting again! It is really helping me embrace this place, put down roots and enjoy living here! i'm so thankful for how well it is going. i'll post some pics, but in the mean time, you can imagine how the living room is changing. we don't have a ladder so Ben stacked 6 plastic chairs (our dining room chairs!) on top of each other to reach the ceiling. Since he is 6'5" you can imagine how hight our ceiling are if he has to reach even from the 6 chair hight! We moved around some furniture and now the room is looking a bit bigger and easier for people to sit and converse. My job at the moment is making more curtains. This time we are going with red. The window is high, so the curtains are 3 meters, not sure in feet? but in this country it's meters... I'm so excited about how it's turning out! Can't wait to show some pictures!
