Hallelujah

We have an apartment, a job and now we are just waiting for that first check to start-up a positive cash flow rather than just a negative one. Mike had his first day of work yesterday. He really enjoys the people that he works with. He will be paid salary up to 40 hours a week, any extra hours he will be paid overtime. Those 40 hours include 25 hours of teaching and 15 hours of just being around the office, call it advertisement for the company, having native English speakers visible attracts more students to the school. They have a room with computers that you can use for preparing lesson plans so those 15 hours can be used productively as well. I had an interview with the same company. I caught a head cold and so my demo class has been postponed until I have recovered. I hope to start working soon as well and start building a saving account up for the delivery of our daughter in September. Once I start working it won't take long, 2 1\2 months at most. A couple in the ward who live in the same group of complexes that we do had a baby not to long ago here in Beijing at a hospital called am care. We are considering the same hospital, they were really pleased with their experience there. We really feel that we are here at the right time, no matter how crazy it may seem, and that things are going to work out. The option is still open to fly me home for the birth but for now we are still going forward with our plan to give birth here in China.
