Many things have been happening here in the North lately. The weather has been gorgeous and getting pretty cool in the evening. Our tomato plant lives happily on the fire escape as we patiently wait for the tomatoes to turn purple on it. Thomas and I have been blessed in so many ways this past week. I have gotten a job at a Yale merchandising store that is a 20 minute walk / 10 minute bike ride away. The people that run it are super nice and friendly and retail seems to be something I am naturally good at - talking to people. They have me working about 35 hours a week - so I am now fairly busy with that.
We have lived in CT for a month and a week and it is starting to feel a little more like home. We miss everyone in SC dearly and are looking forward to visiting in January. With Thomas' job we will be unable to be home for Christmas (not to mention that plane tickets are really pricey in December) so we have decided to visit after all the holidays and before Thomas starts back in January. All of this of course depends on how much time I can get off from work and such. So, in short - you should come visit us! :)
I have found a community orchestra is pretty decent that I would like to join - auditioning me in September. I went to a reading session and we read hard literature - so I have high hopes. Thomas is starting to prepare for entrance exams for music and German, he is going to do well on all of them.
Well, I need to get ready to go to work - we will post more at a later date.
In Christ,
The Russells
