And now to the oven...

So, yesterday it was the washer and dryer. I feel as though I have given enough time to that...so today I put clothes in, detergent, softener and just randomly picked a setting. I chose it because it had the shortest time, 1:05. Yep, one hour and five minutes of washing. I sat, really I did, in front of the washer, because I just wanted to see what 1 hour and 5 minutes got me. It was nice. It was also the delicate cycle, and I do not think I can wash everything I own on delicate. So the next load I set on the "eco" cycle...1 hour 28 minutes. I did not sit and watch this load spin. ;-). The dryer works great too...so I think we got that figured out...for now!

So...on to the oven! We have a small gas oven and I have mastered the art of lighting the stove top, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to light the oven. I keep turning on the gas and sticking my lighter in various spots, but so far...nothing. I haven't actually needed the oven yet, so I still have time to figure it out. For now, it's all stove top cooking! Those of you who know me well, know that I love to cook and bake, so this will get solved...I have determination!

God has blessed us with our house in Budakeszi. We really love it and are looking forward to getting to know our neighbors and our little town in the days, weeks and months ahead. Tomorrow, Mark is venturing into Budapest on the public transportation, so that leaves me and the boys here to venture out to the grocery store along. It will be my first time driving...but I'm ready...garmin and all!

If you think of it, pray for Mark tomorrow as he takes our papers into the immigration office. Our landlord tried to take them for us, but they wouldn't accept them in Budakeszi, so we'll try Budapest! This is the first of many steps to getting our residency papers and being "right" with the local government! We'd appreciate your prayers!
Love you all!
