we are lucky in that the school owns an apartment building for all the teachers to live in, and we don't have to find housing on our own. the building is only a 10 minute walk to the school, and backs up onto a large park complete with ponds, running trails, and a temple. I can't wait to explore our new neighborhood on morning runs and trips to the produce markets!
the apartment itself has one master bedroom with two smaller bedrooms/offices, 2 full bathrooms, a kitchen, a huge a living/dining area, nice wood floors and lots of light. I'm so excited to get there and move in [and take a hundred more pictures to share]. but for now, here are some of the photos the current residents sent us from when they moved in:

our kitchen: no oven, but super cool bright red cabinets |

since we need to pack light most of our photos and artwork will have to stay in the states. I’m already dreaming up decorating ideas to make our home more “us”. we will be within walking distance of a Costco [for printing out digital photos], and a short bus ride from Ikea [cheap frames!] so it shouldn't be too difficult.
in other news, we have officially booked our flight to take off from Detroit on July 26th! [that's only 80 days from now!]
