Getting Settled

Before I go into details, just let me tell everyone who has heard about the shooting in Amman, we are fine. We heard that a man just started shooting random people downtown and one person has died, others injured. It was just a random crazy guy, so no one get worried (okay, mom?).

On to better news. We found an apartment! It is near the university where Jason will be studying, though not within easy walking distance. It is two bedrooms and very spacious. We are just happy to have one so soon. The Fulbright office had a bunch of apartments researched, and they've been taking us around to see them the past couple days. Without them it would have been much more difficult!

Back to not so good news. I forgot to mention that one of our suitcases, Jason's to be exact, was lost on our way over. We have not received it yet, but supposedly it should be coming. He has been living on two pairs of clothing, and luckily his toiletries were in another suitcase. Also, Ellie is not adjusting as well as our trip to Egypt. It has been a lot harder to get her sleep schedule back to normal, which makes her cranky during the day. Hopefully in our apartment she will adjust.

For those who requested it, here is our address. It is not the one to our apartment because we can't receive mail here, but this is to the Fulbright office where we will be contacted if we receive any.
