Peace Corps Peeps Are AWESOME!!!

Today was really great.  Often I feel as though I use ‘great’ and ‘ridiculous’ excessively, but great is just great.  I have had the opportunity to meet wonderful people during my time in Ukraine and days spent together remind me of just how awesome my life is.  Not perfect by any means, but awesome!

These are some of my favorite girls.  And I am realizing as I write this that we all live near each other.  Yeh!!  Great friends and they live close by.

A fun random group of people, some I know, and some I don’t know.  But very fun!  There were 58 PCV’s at language refresher.  And here are 15 of them…

I went up to my room this afternoon and found this out my window.  A lovely and snowy sunset!

    

Mess Hall for lack of a better term and the daily schedule.

Anne, Dara and I.  I felt like I was always dragging the camera out, but I love having all the people pics now that I can share with all of you.

The sun finally came out today and I could not resist some quick pictures.  Maybe running outside without a coat in 10F weather was not the best idea, but the pictures are really beautiful!  Ukraine does not mess around when it comes to snow and cold.

    

In the states I had to get into the Colorado Rockies to get this kind of snow.  It did not just come and find me as it has in Ukraine.  Thankfully it will be a short winter.  This would be very unfun for months on end, but weeks I can handle.

I love that these benches are all cleaned off and waiting for someone come and have a seat.  I was afraid to sit thinking that I might actually freeze to the bench in a matter of minutes.  But it was a nice gesture for someone to clear them off.
