A Soggy First Day

So this was our very first day in our house. It rained about 3 inches in 30 minutes and obviously our street was under water. We were lucky because we didn't have water in the house, but the people at the end of the street did. Our neighbors had just bought a car and came home to find a foot of water in it. We moved in on Friday, even though our stuff hasn't arrived from Atlanta yet. The government gave us some furniture to use until our shipment arrives. We moved to a village named Amstenrade. Which is in the small southern Limbergh Provence. Things here are very simple and is really a farming community. There is a cattle farm near our house, and Jen names the cows something different every time we pass them. It is funny to see the farms here, because the largest ones I have seen are about 20-30 acres, and it is pretty common to see a small corn field of about 1 square acre.
