Our New Stan (Apartment/House)

Well, it has been a while since I have posted.  Now that we have internet, hopefully, I will keep you updated on what's going on in our lives.  

We have moved to Podgorica, Montenegro.  It is a lot different from Ivanovo.  We are getting settled in our new apartment.  It was completely unfurnished except for kitchen cabinets.  An interesting shopping spree in a new town that we are learning our way about.

Christian started school on Thursday of last week.  He was quite the attraction.  Probably the first American a lot of the kids have ever met.  They just crowded around him.  He does not like the attention, but it will get easier as the newness wears off. The school is about a 5 minute walk from the house.   He has French, Art, Music, English, History, Serbian, PE and Civics.   He gets the kid of the year award for jumping in and going for it!  What a special boy.  We are so proud of him. 

Chris and I will start language lessons sometime this week. The wife of the principal will probably be our teacher.  The official language is Serbian.  It is a Slavic language and very close to Russian.  We met a Russian lady at church and she said it was a "piece of cake" to learn!  We will see about that.  I am sure it will be for Christian.

Our apartment is located on the 2 floor of a 4 story house.  It is about 800 sq feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  Chris is not too sure about the red and silver kitchen cabinets -- but I like them -- GO DAWGS!!!!!  We still have to hang pictures, but need to buy a drill to do that -- all the walls are concrete.
