it's already november!

the months seem to be flying by!! the last week of october was a good one. class went well.. my kids led chapel on friday so they were very excited and we have been practicing for the last couple weeks. we did noah's ark and had animal masks, a cardboard ark, rain cloud and sun, a dove on a ruler, and some costumes to help tell the story. after the skit they recited a bible verse and then sang "rise and shine".. so cute :) i could tell they were nervous haha.. they were talking VERY fast haha. but heck.. they are in first grade.. i give them mad props for their performance. i'm very proud of them! :) friday was also a half day so teachers could finish grades. we had a yummy potluck (found a dish i'm going to make when i come home.. get ready!) and great fellowship. that night i went to the halloween carnival at the church i've been attending. it was nice to see some of my students there dressed in their adorable costumes. and it was nice eating some halloween candy and a snow cone.. kind of crazy at 8 o'clock at night (for the snow cone NOT the candy haha) but the temperature feels like it is still early afternoon, so it's okay :) got home and decided to watch a scary movie since it was halloween.. decided on ringu (the japanese original version of the ring). it was funny to actually understand things they did that are part of their culture. but it definitely wasn't a funny movie! scary just like the american version (but a little creepier) and on top of that.. there was a thunderstorm while watching it!!
saturday i hung out at one of the shopping malls browsing clothes and shoes. i ended up buying make-up instead haha. that night i hung out with laura and two of her friends that are also military wives. went to the amazing transit cafe and had great food and fun conversation.
sunday was church and tried a bakery for lunch.. YUMMY. bought some pitas too.. excited to have those for dinner soon! low-key evening.. watched a movie and cleaned the apartment.
i miss you all and hope you had a fun and safe halloween!!!
