Moving On

A picture of the long road ahead of us

Hello all and welcome to our first attempt at blogging! It has always been an interest of mine, but I have never had anything interesting to tell others about. Not that I do now, but I figured a blog would be a great way for people to keep up with our lives and whats going on in Mishawaka.

The front of our new house, we plan to plant a flower bed next spring.

We spent all last week packing, and filled the trailer Thursday afternoon. After lots of sad goodbyes, we went to bed trying to get sleep before our moving day. Friday we woke up bright and early and ran some errands before heading out. Tyler and I left around 1 and Mom and Dad followed around 2. We arrived at our home at about 5:30 and were is shock. We really didnt expect much out of college housing for married students, but we were pleasantly surprised. As our landlord said, "It's no Taj Mahal", but it is perfect for us. We have two normal sized bedrooms and a midsized office. There is one bathroom, a living room, kitchen, large laundry, and back porch. I just found out today that we are the only married students with a backporch, what a blessing!

Our new pantry, hopefuly we can add to it soon!

We spent the evening moving everything in, and boy was there a lot. We were a little nervous about getting everything in, but only got rid of 1 loveseat, and put 3 dining room chairs back into storage. We have arranged the house into a nice, comfy home...filled with boxes.

Saturday Mom and I worked at getting the kitchen in order, while Tyler worked in the office and Dad got my computer set up, then we had some time to relax.

Mom and Dad left Sunday and Tyler and I were left with and overwhelming sense of being on our own. It was a great feeling though, and we are so excited to have a house. God has blessed us beyond what we imagined, and we are looking forward to making many memories in our new home.
