One Week Down

We survived our first week in the Dominican Republic. I knew we would be fine in the end, but I figured there would be several road bumps along the way. And, of course, there were (still are).

Kurt & I are not in our apartment yet. We do have most of our things inside, but there is no electricity or water. So... we wait :) As a side note, you will see that everything requires a lot of waiting here. We are done with appliances & most of our furniture, which is a blessing. The dryer made it Monday, but we are still waiting on the gas hose to set up our stove that was supposed to be done yesterday.

Along with setting up the house, Jason and Josh have been helping Katie and I to find a vehicle to further our independence.  We have narrowed it down to 3 vehicles but have been having a hard time finding something within our price range that will also be able to make it out to the bateys and not fall apart within the first mile off the lot.  We will probably end up spending more and go for a higher resale value.  If all things work out, we will loose about the same amount of money each way and have less maintenance with the nicer car.

Welp, Its 9:30 and Jason and I are off to the electric company to see what's going on with our power.  We miss you all and thank you all for your prayers.

Kurt and Katie
