time slipping away

Time has gone by so so fast already. I have been here in Ukraine for a month. An entire month. Yet it feels like I have been here way longer. And at the same time, just like I got here yesterday. How does time do it? The older I get the faster it seems to go. Its already October, how did we get to October?!
Today was super relaxing. They weren't holding regular meetings today at church, they were broadcasting conference, so I didn't go. Which meant I didn't have to set any alarms, and could have the whole day to myself. I slept in super late, the latest I have, then got to sit in bed reading scrips and writing in my journal for most of the morning, until Vova came in to play. We made some little thing out of folding paper.
Me and kim were supposed to be making dinner for our families tonight, but nothing had really been said about it. We planned on making tacos / burritos for them, since we love mexican food, and they don't really have it here. Oksana asked me for a list and she looked it over, translated everything, then decided on which store we needed to go to get everything. I went with her to the 'Metro,' which was basically a costco. It was enormous. We found everything we needed, except for avocado :( and then she cooked the meat and we took everything next door.
They didn't really understand the concept of serving yourself, it took a couple times of explaining and demonstrating.. but they finally all grabbed tortillas and dished themselves up. The little boys loved it, they ate a ton, and so did our host moms. But the dads weren't so into the idea of it. I'm not sure what it was, but they didn't really eat much, ended up not using tortillas and just eating it all with a fork. Which was fine.
Also, I put rice and beans on the list, because usually you have rice and beans with mexican food.. but we didn't get any of that at the store, she said she had some rice and Natasha next door had beans. So we had sticky rice and baked bbq beans with and in our tacos and burritos. A little different... but still good.
After dinner the boys played upstairs and me and kim went into her room. I heard somebody playing the guitar so I went down to check it out. Dima, Kim's host dad was playing so I just sat and listened. He and Oksana passed it back and forth playing. And their son Misha also came down to play. I love love love when people play music. We just all sat there, in their tiny kitchen, talking and laughing, yelling at the boys, taking shots of tequila (obviously not me). It was great. I'm seriously so lucky to be living with these people, they are so great.

okay for some reason my videos won't load on here.
