On My Own

I am all moved in to my house! I'm going to try to add some pictures to this but we'll see if it works. I don't have running water or a bathroom yet so I bring buckets of water over from my neighbor's house and use their bathroom. I can usually get by on 1-2 buckets of water a day unless I do laundry, then it's an additional 1-2 buckets. I just dug a trash pit in my back yard and I'm still deciding if I want to have a garden or not.

I couldn't resist adding this one. My neighbor's sow had 12 babies!! They are adorable. They are about 2 weeks old in the picture.

My kitchen, already messy. My oven is in the center and the walls are nicely decorated with pictures that Jill sent :). The house had 2 gas ovens in it already but they don't work. They are piled over in the corner which my host mom calls "el museo" (the museum).

My trash pit; only took me an hour to dig. Also, an example of why your should put a fence around your trash pit. Animals love digging through it looking for food.

My bedroom. I made frames for the pictures I brought from home and hung them on the wall. Also, there is another bed frame over to the side so whoever comes to visit me will have a bed to sleep in!

I have a lot more pictures that I will put on Facebook eventually and hopefully soon I will have pictures to post of my bathroom!
