Boiling Water...

Boiling water to do the dishes has become part of our daily routine. It takes 5 pot fulls of water to do the washing and the rinsing. I will never take a dishwasher for granted again. We do have a water heater, actually its "on demand" water heating. But it is very picky, especially in the kitchen.

We have been cleaning the house today. It gets rather dusty. Its a desert, and we have a huge dirt mountain outside of our house, so it really is always dusty.  And they have really lame cleaning supplies. This really is like a camping trip, with electricity and indoor plumbing (thank goodness!). I am just glad we have gotten some rugs. We have all wood floors so it is nice to have rugs. We are working on getting some furnishing and appliances and are still waiting for our stuff to arrive (probably another month).  Here are those pictures of the house I promised:

 This is the backyard as seen from my room.

 This is my bedroom.

 My bathroom.

 The laundry room... we have had a terrible time with the washer/ dryer. I will tell you about it later. The laundry room is outside. 

 The kitchen table. We use the dinning room table to eat though so its just there...

I will post more pictures from the house but the internet is slow and it took 30 minutes just downloading these! I guess I will be working on patience. 

We have gone to the mall a few times, Jockey plaza, (pronounced chockey plaza) looking for applances and for something to do. It is a big mall. We had cupcakes and hot chocolate last time. 

 Mine was nutella flavored and Marcus's was a caramel chocolate flavor.  

Thats all for now!
