So we have been here a month. As Ben has said there have been many bumps but we have managed all of them well. Largely thanks to Ben working from home and just having a head for the things that go with owning a house that I don't seem to have yet!

Work is going well. I have now taught a week and a half worth of class. My students are eager to learn and that makes teaching much easier!

The one thing that remains a struggle is finding friends in the area The friends I have made at work all commute from Lawrence which is over an hour away. Funny considering my former job, teaching kids with autism to make and keep friends, that this is what I would find most challenging. However that being said I am living with my best friend and am so grateful for that!
