A home to call our own

Sorry that it has been a few days since we posted. We moved into an apartment and so we had a little time there without Internet access. We are really happy with the area that we ended up in. It is close to where we will be working and in a really convenient location for shopping, ect. There are quite a few friends from church that live in the same apartment complexes as well We have a really cool view, especially at night, of the guo mao section of Beijing where all the international buildings are, think the twin towers and the pentagon of the U.S. It is 6:00 p.m. Wednesday so in a few hours it will be dark and we will take a picture to show you all. We are on the 17th floor of a very tall apartment building which can be kind of scary looking out your window and seeing people to size of dragon flies but really nice because it stays cool and all the noise is that much further away this high up in the air. It seems as though Chinese people never sleep because you can hear voices and traffic around the clock. The beds in china are much firmer, imagine sleeping on a box spring. Chinese people believe that a firm bed is good for your health. I have never woke up with a sore back since I got here so there much be truth to that belief. Although the further into pregnancy I get the more I wish I could just have a enormous pillow to sleep in. We are having a great time here in Beijing, things are looking up and we are finally getting settled. Wish us luck!
