Getting Adjusted

Trying to get settled into our new home has been quite the task. Since we moved almost a month into Lincoln's first semester of school, we have been trying to make sure that he studies every night, while still trying to get things done. I don't have a car during the day & don't know how to communicate effectively with anyone yet...so Linc & I have to run errands when he his home. Things here in Mexico seem to take a lot longer too. (For example, our downstairs bathroom doesn't work. The plumber was supposed to come a week ago. We are still waiting for him. Apparently that is kind of normal here.) So needless to say, things have been kind of crazy these past two weeks.

It was quite the task getting our new mattresses upstairs when we moved in. Luckily Linc had some friends to help him...

We moved in without a fridge or dishes. Thank goodness for nice friends who invited us over to eat with them. On the other days, we settled for fast food or tacos. They even have Burger King here...

(Apparently Linc's fries were quite fascinating.)

What do you do when you don't have Saran Wrap or Ziploc bags yet? This...

(Can you tell we are in Mexico? Beans, guac, red sauce, refried beans? :) )

Because we didn't have a microwave either, Kylee & I were lucky enough to eat things like cold tostadas. Kylee didn't seem to mind...

We also have to constantly remind Kylee that she can't drink the water when she is taking a bath. We use the words "yucky" & "owies" a lot here. :)

Now that we have most of the big items that we need, we are slowly adjusting to running a household here. We still have some work to do, but we'll get there!
