Dear friends,
We are getting closer and closer to have our own house. The reason we moved to the States was (and still is) to study, finish school and move on to serve as missionaries in a closed country, or wherever the Lord wants us to be. We were looking for houses to rent for the past 6 months, but since mortgage is so much cheaper on a monthly basis, we decided to go with buying a house instead, due to our financial situation. So we made an offer on a house and first we were rejected, so we made another offer on the same house and we will see what happens. We know that God has a plan for us and we cannot wait to see what it is and where it is : ).
I was also able to finally go and do the driver's skill test (I did it the first day I could, after the required 180 days). It was 71 degrees outside and a 110 inside the car (at least it felt like it), but nonetheless I passed! : ) So now I have my very own driver's license! Here we come Terre Haute, you better watch out! I love driving, if gas was free, I would be driving almost all the time. Of course in Hungary they would say, "You are not really driving... You are driving an automatic car... Let me emphasize it, "automatic!" When you use stick shift, that's when you are driving." : ) But I enjoy this "fake" driving a lot!
As far as school goes, I love that, too! So far I got very good grades (I only had 4 classes), and I enjoy it a lot! I am very excited to learn more and I love the discussion forums. My classmates are awesome and my Professors are great! I couldn't ask for any better! I also have time for Amy, which is the most important right now.
Amy is growing and learning very fast. She understands English, Hungarian, and Sign Language. She says "hi," and "please;" she signs "ball," "sleep," "please," "eat," and she can clap her hands when asked to. She doesn't say any Hungarian words yet, but she understands a whole bunch of stuff in Hungarian as well, as that is the main language I use while talking to her. She knows what the dog, cat, owl, and cow say. She loves to spin, walk backwards, climb up the recliner and then rock it, and she loves to give hugs and kisses when she is in the mood. She is a very active little girl. She is non-stop. I sure lost weight just watching her go. We cannot wait for Becky (Chris' sister) to come back to the States so that we can have some fun with her.
Chris is still working at WTHI Channel 10, and he likes it there. When he comes home, he has to work some more from home to help us financially. He loves playing with Amy and Amy loves playing with him. We are able to go our more, so we do! : ) Now that I don't need any more hours for my driver's license (I needed to drive 50 hours before I could get it), he can finally drive with us in the car. Although I enjoy driving a lot, it is very nice to just sit next to my hubby and enjoy the ride : ).
We are very grateful for our family, church family, friends, and everyone else who reads our blog. We are encouraged by your e-mails, so please keep them coming! : )
Have a wonderful day!
The James family
