Had a great day on Saturday, despite being a little stressed. The ladies from our lifegroup had planned to get together, and I was trying to organize little gift bags for everyone. Of course the stationery store was closed on the very day I needed it...
Despite that little roadblock, we had a nice afternoon at a local Indian restaurant, talking and chatting and getting to know each other a little better. We missed those who couldn't make it though: one mom whose about ready to give birth to her 3rd, a mom of twins who had just moved and couldn't get away, and another woman who was sick with a fever. :/ Please pray that next time we'll be all be able to participate!
This week grades are due (Wednesday). At least I did give all my exams last week, but most student work has yet to be graded. :/ So... a busy couple of days ahead (not to mention all the planning that remains to be done, both short- and long-term!).
Thanksgiving was a lovely day. Just a quiet evening at home for our second time around here in Mongolia, which is actually a tradition I like. :) Since it's a work-day, it's more relaxing to just prepare smth for ourselves on Thursday night, but this year we invited Javkhaa's family over for Sunday 'dinner' to celebrate as well. It was a fun day. :) For Christmas, though, I need to think of a festive 'one-pot' meal, because it's a challenge to keep things warm with only one burner in our current apartment! ;) I'm thinking of a recipe I have for "Chuckwagon Stew": takes a little extra time to prepare, but it sure is yummy!
That's all for now, back to planning!
(and yes, I am a little bit homesick at this time of year...) sniff sniff!
