I am so sorry, I realized that I haven't blogged in almost a month! It has been pretty crazy! About three weeks ago my co-worker, Will, and I moved into a lovely apartment in the neighborhood of Jebel Webdieh. The following are some pictures (aka-tons of pictures):

Huge pretty sure antique armor in my room.

Our very Arab kitsch formal room.
ditto the above, plus the front door and the 80 year old cabinet.

Booyah, two stoves!
Shower/bath, but mostly shower since a bath would use up too much of our water for the week.

The LCD screen right in the middle is close to the school.
Other than that, there isn't too much to tell you.... life is pretty great! I am still loving Jordan, though I haven't explored too too much. I've been to a student's farm outside of Madaba; it was a lovely farm, but we didn't get to see to much due to it being night-time when we went.
This weekend is Eid Al Adha, a major Islamic holiday, so we have a five day weekend.... SOOOOOoooo nice. Will and I have spent most of it relaxing in our formal room watching tons of different tv shows and movies. On Thursday I splurged and went to Ali Pasha Turkish Baths with a friend, my goodness it was delightful. Those ladies are not afraid to get all up in your "stuff", but I have never felt so clean or so relaxed.... not to mention the unlimited hibiscus slushie they give you. Today I did actually get off my bottom and clean the apartment, hence why I actually have pictures on the blog. We (a few coworkers) had thought about heading out somewhere to go camping, but most of us are tired and thankful just to have a relaxing time off. We might end up going to Jerash or something for an afternoon, but until that is planned out I am thinking of making cinnamon buns tomorrow and doing some major correcting of grade 11 English papers.
Sorry this isn't very newsy, hopefully you are all doing well!
Love to all of you from Jordan,
Kate
ps- I have had two marriage proposals, but no worries both were turned down.
pps- Met my first cockroach in the bathroom bidet... needless to say I won't be cleaning that again anytime soon!
