Well, here I sit...on an air mattress in the living room of our apartment. You see, we sold all of our living room furniture before we moved. Lucky for us, the new stuff comes tomorrow. To sum everything up, we made it! We're here!!! So here's the story...
As you know, our trailer was quite fun and interesting. There was only one mishap on the way...usually with a gooseneck trailer, you can turn as sharp as you like. However, my dad's truck is a shortbed. We had to stop in St. Peters (my fault, I had to pee) and they turned a little sharp. Completely busted out the ENTIRE back window of Dad's truck and bent the cab frame. Oops. 45 minute delay cleaning out the glass from the truck and putting trash bags with tape to cover the gaping hole. Needless to say, the trash bags made the trip here! I believe they put some cardboard up for the ride home. I didn't get a picture of it...way to busy and I don't think Dad would have been too happy if I would have been taking pictures when it happened! Oh, and the trailer wasn't hurt, just the truck!
On to our new home...I'm not going to give you any inside pictures until things are looking pretty good. However, above is a picture of the entrance sign to the seminary - kind of a crooked picture, we were in the car.
This is the outside of our apartment building. We are apartment #4 - you can't see it but it's the top right door. I have met our next door neighbor. I don't know how she does it. She has two boys and another child on the way...and lives in this tiny apartment! Where does she put everything? I barely have room for the two of us!!!
This was what was on our door when we got here. Thank you, dear cousin Jesse! She lives right across the road from us. However, she's in El Salvador on a mission trip so she couldn't be here (she'll be back Saturday). It made me smile when I saw it though!
I think we are doing good so far. I must admit, I sort of feel like I'm on vacation! Strange place, don't know hardly anyone...but I'm sure it will sink in soon. We have been driving around all day, finding places on our own and exploring the area. I have cried considerably less than I thought I would, so far. I cried when Mom, Dad & Adam left but I pulled myself together relatively quickly.
Please keep reading...more is to come! Hopefully I will have the apartment in order by the weekend and post some more pictures. Keep praying...the job hunt begins soon!
