Our trip was somewhat successful, but everything is still tentative. We had appointments with several potential schools for Sasha, and were able to watch the teachers work with the children. Most of the schools we liked are full. On our last day though, we received a call from one of them saying that they might have an opening in the fall.
Same story with the apartments. We were looking for an apartment that was close to her school, cheap and spacious. We don't want to buy another car, so we're trying to find an apartment within walking distance from her school. We considered buying, and spent too many hours looking at houses. They were all either too far away or too expensive. We finally, sort of, decided on an apartment that was relatively close to her school, and we're now waiting for a call-back to see if it will be available at the end of June when we move.
So, the trip was successful in that we were able to narrow the search down, and now we have to wait.
I only took pictures the day we decided to give Sasha a break from all the driving and looking at houses, to go to the zoo! We also had dinner with James' aunt Adrienne and uncle Jan, but I forgot to take my camera. :(
In the tube surrounded by piranas!
It was a very windy day, can you tell?
Trying to read the zoo map:
The texas longhorns!

how exciting!
it's so hard, though, to figure out school and housing from afar and with such a short time to check everything out. all i can say is-- when we REALLY needed akeva to get into her little school, we were praying like crazy and glenda was praying like mega crazy, and they called and miraculously had a spot for akeva :) so think about your best case scenario and just pray :) if it's what's good for your family, things will fall into place!
of course, i also know of a few places here in albuquerque that you guys would love :) it's not too far a commute, right?....
can't wait to see you!!!!!
