My holiday and home

The long awaited pictures of my room have arrived. :D This is only one part of my house, but the rest isn't finished yet, so it'll give y'all something to look forward to :D. This is my KING size bed! It was already at the house and it's the mattress my landlord's family hates because it's SOFT. So, with an already mildly squishy mattress, I added some foam and I have an American bed!!!! I'm so excited.


This is my desk.

My wardrobes and shelf. My amazing friend put the shelf together without even being asked! I have amaing friends.

This is my amazingly comfortable couch that can lay down into a bed. See, I have a place for people to sleep :D. Please visit!


Today we had a holiday. I know what you're thinking, "You haven't really started working yet!" However, I have been going into the office for the last week and a half and tomorrow I have to wake up at 6:00 :( . . . so I am starting to work. ANYWAY, I went to a park and Chinatown today. Here's some pictures from that. I LOVE this park and wish it was closer to my house.

These two little kids came up and started talking with me and playing ball with me. That's not normal in Thailand since most kids are really shy around foreigners. Especially me because I have blue eyes and red hair. It was fun to play with them :D



And Chinatown :D. It was fun, but it's not that different from the rest of Thailand, but the shopping is great. :) They have a lot of beads and things, so I bought some beads and I'm going to make picture frames or something with them. :)



This week is going to be fun. Please pray for tomorrow as I'll be getting my visa and work permit again. I just pray that everything goes okay. There are so many papers that have to be filled out and prepared before hand. Thankfully the university has someone prepare them for me, but if she forgets something or just didn't tell me something, it could be a problem. Also, on Thursday I have my first staff meeting at the university. I'll be meeting a lot of new people and I pray I'll remember all of their names. I'm not the best with names. Then, I start teaching on Monday! AHH! I know everything will be fine after the first week, but I'm always nervous during the first week. Please pray God will calm my nerves and help me to trust Him to help me prepare. Thank you all!
