Russian New Years!

Hello universe,
Well I am not sure that everyone in the universe reads our blog, but almost I'm sure. By the way, if you are one of the lucky people who has happened upon our blog try posting a comment. Let us know what you think.
Anya and I arrived in Russia Thursday December 28th 2006. We got to Anya's parents home in Nizhny Novgorod on Friday December 29th. Since arriving we have been partying non-stop! New Years in Russia is a big deal. Its kind of like Christmas, New Years Eve, the State of the Union Address and the Fourth of July wrapped up in one. Thats the best that I know how to describe it.
So, we have arrived safely and I think that we are just about recuperated from all of the partying and visiting of friends and family. I am starting up in my courses at Fuller. I am taking a full load of distance courses this quarter. It is a bit of an experiment trying to do school from Russia, but I think I will manage. We appreciate all of your prayers and support. May God bless you and keep you...
