Such big changes without anything really changing. This leaves us in a strange sort of in-between zone that we will be in for the next 14 weeks. I know this time will fly by and I am trying to appreciate being here while we are still here because I know that I will dearly miss it in Myanmar. At the same time we are just ecstatic and it is hard to contain our excitement.
Mother nature is also in-between right now. Technically it is spring but winter is sure hanging on. On Monday it was in the 60s and for the first time I wore a skirt to school. On Tuesday we had an inch of snow fall and it was cold enough that I had to scrape off my windshield before leaving in the morning. On Fridays I have outdoor recess duty and as I stood with my winter jacket, hat, and gloves, the kids were running around me in either the same get-up or spring jackets and dresses. We are urning for warmth even if it is just the fact that we are no longer in the negatives.

Myanmar wise I was able to Skype with my future co-teacher this week. Regina currently lives in Hong Kong and works as a k-6 grade art teacher in an International school. She has great energy and is just as excited for new adventures in Myanmar. Regina will be teaching Film Studies, AP Drawing, and a few art classes. I will be teaching AP 2D Design as well as a variety of Art 1-4 classes. I am very much looking forward to having another art teacher to collaborate with next year!
More progress was made with my second round of shots. The results of my bloodwork revealed the I was not immune to Hepititis B, so when I went for my second Rabies shot this week they also gave me Twin-Rix which is Hep A & B together. I also began my Typhoid round of pills which should finish in a few days.
Kim visited her PCP this week. She was able to discuss everything she needed to cover about moving. Her doctor was able to give her a year prescriptions on her daily medications as well as refer her to the travel clinic where she will start her round of the same shots.

Another in-between is school right now because we just started vacation! I'm looking forward to getting a bunch of errands done this week. But before all that I got to spend some time with a few of my favorite little munchkins. Happy 8th Birthday to my nephew Macgyver.
