Move

On February 17 my family and I moved into a new apartment. If you recall, we had to move out of our old apartment in October 2005 due to plumbing problems. We stored all of our things in different locations. When we returned in June of last year, we stayed at the Schroeder's apartment for six weeks and than moved to the Hollands' apartment until the move. We stored all our things on three floors of their block and some of our furniture in another area of the city where we have a small dormitory-sized room for storage of our material. The space we are renting is an apartment in a villa. The space is more than twice of what we moved from. It has five rooms (a living room, two bedrooms, an office and a play/study rooms for the kids). We will use part of the space for our activities and worship once we get everything in order. It is nice to once again be in our own place. The apartment and the area is quieter and less stressful. We also think that we have found owners that will treat us fairly, as compared to the previous two. The owners live above us and will be available when we need them. The wife is a high school math teacher. The husband works for the Romanian government department for the preservation of historical sites and traditions. He travels from place to place as a photographer. We are not sure to what extent this involves Orthodox tradition, but it probably plays a major role. Their daughter is a professor of economics at the local university.
