Special season

It has been a while since I wrote. Only because time goes very quickly. We had very good holidays. Special days when we met and spent the time with our friends a couple from Ukraine - Tom & Yulya and a couple from Germany - Sasha & Yulya. It was an encouragement for us to see dear friends and laugh! We also had few good days of walking in Leuven. I personally really enjoy the weather. People here wish to have real 4 seasons of the year. I really like this kind of winter. Of course when it rains, and here rains are sometimes every other day, we don't usually go anywhere. But to have a sun shining day in the middle of winter with temperature +10...I really enjoy!

We were happy to be at the church during all holidays. On Christmas Day we were invited by one family from the church - Albert and Ruth. Very special time! New Year we spent in our own family tradition :) We called our relatives - to Belarus and to Ukraine when they already were in 2008 but we were still in 2007 :) On the New Year we have a tradition of writing down all our blessings and gratitudes for the passing year and than we write needs and desires for the coming year. So every year we have 2 pages - looking at the page with needs we write all the blessings... And God didn't miss even one. He faithfully answered all the needs - it is one thing to know, but completely another thing to see it on the paper. After that we pray... Many of you are on our list and we thanked God for you and for your involvement in our life! We say in Ukraine - The way you meet the New Year that way you'll spend it. It is good to meet this special moment praying.

So far I stay busy at work and Vova is writing and reading days and nights. Exams are in a week and plus papers - some to finish and some to start.

Another great thing that I looked for - I will be taking dutch classes starting on Monday the 21st! I am very excited and we'll see what will come out of that.

Enjoy our pictures - a lot of photos this time :)
