Life in KZ update

So far, we've been eating minimal meals of noodles and yogurt at our apartment but today was our first trip to a restaurant.  We can't tell you how nice it was to eat meat and fruit/veggies!  We need to get out more often, but the only apartment available is on the outside of town, not near any restaurants.  There is a small market with limited items.  After lunch today we went to the market in town and were able to stock up on real food!  We even picked up a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight!  The best part of all was that I was finally able to get a hair dryer!! 
On April 7th, an apartment will open up in the center of town that will be so much easier for us!  We will be able to walk to all the shopping, restaurants, etc.  We are kind of isoloated now...

We've taken some videos that we'd love to post, but we only have access to dial-up internet for now!  Hopefully we will be in a better spot in about a week.

PS - I did bring some high-heeled boots and am so glad that I did.  A - Every other women wears them.  B - They really make walking in the snow easier, like an ice pick!
