No longer homeless!

That´s right, we have found a home. We have decided to move in with another English teacher from our school named Hugo. He´s a really nice guy and we think it will be great to have a native Spanish speaker around all the time to help us with our language aquisition. The complex has security and the apartment is two-bedroom, 1-bath. It is already furnished so we won´t have to buy much except for some kitchen stuff (since Hugo isn´t much of a chef and his dinnerware collection consists of basically one plate, one fork, and a couple spoons) and whatever we want to add to our bedroom decor. It will be SOOO nice not to have to squish onto a twin mattress on the floor anymore! Yeah! We can´t wait. We move in Saturday afternoon, and so the eager anticipation for normalcy is running rampant in our hearts. (Actually, it hasn´t been that bad staying at the empty house, but believe us, this is one heckuva step up :) Oh yeah-- one more thing: the apartment is really close to school (walkably close!), so we won´t have to take any more taxis or buses to/from work. We will probably be walking an average of 2-4 miles per day which should thankfully help counteract all the tacos/pan dulce (pastry-type deliciousness). I actually think I'll come back in better shape! Whew. Ok one more thing, again: Our rent for this place is ridiculous. We only have to pay appx US$200/month for rent + all utilities (that is $100 a month per person, my friends. We may never return).

I'm jealous (that Billy got to cuddle with you on a twin mattress on the floor)!
