We’ve been in Honduras for two weeks now and this seems like a good opportunity to pause and reflect on the weeks behind us and the week ahead.  We’ve had a great two weeks in which we’ve gotten so much accomplished.  We were lucky - my boss has been in the States on vacation and I couldn’t start work for two weeks, so I was able to be around to house hunt and pick a school for Michael while generally helping keep Erika and the children at least somewhat sane.  We picked a house in three days and were moved in less than a week after our arrival.  We spent the next few days grocery shopping and unpacking a little at a time. 

After three days of moving in we decided at the last minute to take a trip up to the north coast to visit our friends Matthew and Andrea and their four kids Franklin, Charlie, Jimena and Jonathan.  The 7 hour bus ride (each way) was less than thrilling to say the least but it was totally worth it to spend some quality time with friends.  The kids had a great time playing together and it was nice to be able to squeeze in a trip before starting work and school makes scheduling harder. 

Now that we’re settled in it is time to get to work.  Tomorrow we have an orientation for new families at Michael’s school (The Discovery School).  Michael starts school Wednesday, the same day I start work.  We’re excited about getting started and excited about starting to reach out and build our community.  Now that our house is settled (or as settled as it ever will be) we are thinking about how we can start meeting people in our new home.  We have an exciting week ahead!
