We all made it to our new homes safe and sound last night. I can’t believe that Casey, Leah, and I, plus our 5 suitcases + some odd bags AND Carlos and Cristina, all fit in one little hatchback! Incredible. Casey and I are now living in an apartment about 8 blocks from the university. Our host mom’s name is Beatriz and she’s very sweet! We’re so lucky she was able to take us in on such short notice—she was traveling in Italy during the first part of the semester. I haven’t unpacked yet—I will after I close this—but here are some pictures:
I believe that everything is cuter in miniature form—candy, makeup, office supplies, you name it. My new room may not be very big, but that makes me love it even more. I have a tiny closet, a perfect-sized bed, a desk just big enough for my laptop and a lamp, a little window (check out those adorable curtains)…what more do I need? Nothing, that’s what!
All for now…my laptop battery is almost gone and I have homework and some serious unpacking to do.

Apartment life–yet another first for you. Thanks for posting pictures so quickly. I’m so glad you are starting off so well in your new “home”! We’re looking forward to when you come back to your old home and family!
Love,
Mom
Congrats on the move! Your new place is adorable! Enjoy!
8 blocks from the university – score! That means more time to sleep in the morning, right?
I know a move mid-semester might not have been on your “must do” list if you had a choice, but I’m proud of you for handling it with grace and good humor.
Love,
Aunt Laura
Pero siempre adelante…y con alegría :0)
Te deseo todo lo mejor en esta segunda parte del semestre ¡porque lo mereces, Kim-cita!
besos,
Joli
Happy Birthday Kim! We hope you have a great day!
Thanks all!
It’s so weird to see you moved into my old room! I hope you’re enjoying living with Beatriz–she’s the best!
Hahaha did I really end up in your old room? Too funny!
Beatriz is wonderful—she’s sooo sweet and a good cook too
