Always room for a party:
To follow-up with the previous post re: Viktor's Name Day...my boss found out about the celebration of Name Days in Hungary and asked if I would help our staff celebrate each of our Name Days within the office. Last week Viktor helped me translate the names into Hungarian names and then we came up with the list of Name Days to celebrate. The fun part is that only my boss and I know when everyone's Name Day is, so we're going to do surprise parties in honor of each person when the day comes around. Today was the first office Name Day celebration (in honor of Bob/Robert), so we decorated the office, invited all of his friends, played a game, and ate some yummy food! It was so fun to honor Bob today and fun to inform people who stopped by about this Hungarian tradition.

At 5pm this evening I was leaving work as usual, walking across campus (next door, really) and came across rushing water across the parking lot and this pool of water in the yard. It definitely didn't seem "normal" and seeing as the maintenance department was closed for the day, I made my way back into the office to inform my boss, who then called someone else to report it. At 8pm tonight (3 hours later) this is the view from our apartment...

It not only took 3 hours for someone to come out, but they've brought in a bulldozer, the water is still rushing out of the ground, and everyone is standing around with hands on their hips wondering what to do next (really...we can hear them from our apartment).... HAHA! Welcome to Wilmore!
In Other News:
We are keeping busy as usual. Classes are going well for Viktor. And, for those of you who don't know, I have stepped down from taking classes this fall. Due to a number of reasons we decided it would be best to postpone until perhaps the spring. We made this decision before my first class, and even though it was a very difficult decision, we have been reassured that we have made the right choice for right now. With our busy work schedules and Viktor's busy class schedule, we can see how it has been best for me to hold off for this time. Depending on how the semester goes and how we see the Lord leading, I may enroll into a class or two in the spring. There is no rush, so we will wait and see how the Lord leads. Continue to pray for Viktor and his studies and that he will get adequate rest with working and studying at such intense levels.
Lastly, for those who have been asking for a picture of my hair cut (yes it is shorter than ever), here it is...
