We arrived two weeks ago today! So far we've been really pleasantly surprised by everything. Our house is huge and beautiful, our neighborhood is really walkable, the other Embassy people seem really nice and have been welcoming, and our new nanny Firuza is wonderful.
Our Russian is rusty but passable, simplifying life a great deal. Our UAB beat us here, and they delivered it the day after we arrived!!! Our HHE is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, which must be a new State Dept record (two weeks after arrival!) We weren't expecting it for five or six months, so this is a glorious surprise.
The kids seem to like their new school, Tashkent International School, and their new teachers. It's a nice campus and the staff seem great. I miss having school uniforms, though! The kids are always so cute in formal uniforms.
Like always, I shall endeavor to post periodically. We'll see how I do here, since I'm only working part-time. I always intend to post things and fail, but theoretically I have a lot more free time here.
cheers,
Lauren
