This is what the house looks like that I am living in!! Most of the houses in Luxembourg are made out of cement with slate roofs like this, usually painted some pastel color.

Well, I can honestly say that my first weekend here was jam packed. Saturday was very relaxed, I slept in and spent a lot of time reading outside, because it was actually sunny and hot! I even finished a book that I have been reading since spring break. I then decided to go for a run (which was funny because I haven't run outside in like four years because of my knee, but I decided I would just try) so I ended up having a really nice run except for the fact that I didn't really know where I was going so i wandered around the neighborhood and ended up having to jut turn around at a bunch of dead end streets. That night we had the Ridgeways (the family I am staying with's very close friends) over for a BBQ, which ended up being a lot of fun. The Mom and Dad are from Ireland and the Mom is this loud, hilarious Irish lady so when all four of the parents went through three bottles of wine you can imagine how much fun the adult table was.
This morning we got up early to go to the Schouberfuer, which is this huge fair that Luxembourg hosts fo
r about three or four weeks in the Summer and people from all over Europe come in to enjoy the rides and delicious food (think Great America meets Octoberfest). It was a lot of fun exce
pt I think I might be getting to old for roller coasters, I was feeling sick after two and needed to take a break and sit down. After the fair we went over to the Ridgeway's for another BBQ. The Ridgeways live in a different commune that is out in the country and there house was beautiful, really old and farmy looking with rolling hills and horses around. More great food and great company in a beautiful setting. So, i am trying to go to bed since I have my first full week of work ahead of me, I am getting the kids up and to school by myself for the first time tomorrow, say a little prayer, goodnight!
