Went to babushka's house last night for dinner, it was such good food.  Not a bad meal yet!  Today Bogden, Vanessa, and I are going to walk around Fastiv and map the city.  Should be pretty exciting.  Russian is slowly coming along, I am trying not to use Bogden's awesome English as too much of a crutch but for the mean time its making it easy!  Mentality all of this is a little tiring, plus with missing my friends and family, and especially liz its a little wearing, but I am living with a wonderful family and have great support via Peace Corps staff.  Hope everything is well in the states.  Orlando Pace and Cutler to the bears.  Cubs opening day on Tuesday!  MSU vs.  UNC in the National Championship game, hopefully the big ten can get some revenge, even though I have ill feelings towards MSU (sorry dan).  Well please all keep in contact.  Enjoy your Sunday
