Over the next two days we are moving to our new apartment!
Thanks to Stella, who provided this recent picture to encapsulate my feelings:
It's only two streets away, but it's still a move, especially when you factor in an almost-three-year-old and two rambunctious dogs! We are looking forward to the following things about our new apartment:
- a fenced in backyard
- brand new windows
- a third bedroom...ahem...guests!!!
- lots more living space
- a dining area
- a sunporch
- a dishwasher (hallelujah!)
- a dry basement
- a two car garage
- staying in the same neighborhood
- living across the street from great friends, The Oliver Family!
- however God chooses to use this house for ministry to others
Things we will miss about our current place:
- being right next door to one of Stella's best buddies, Emery, and his family, The Hermans
- seeing our neighbors, Jenna and Tim, and catching up via impromptu conversations
- lots of great memories and "firsts" for Stella experienced here
- a wonderful landlord, Norm, who took really good care of us over the past two years
Our last move was on the heels of a foreclosure and was MUCH more emotionally draining than this current move. We are grateful for how far God has brought us in just two years and for what a wonderful place we are at as a family. Here's to the next phase of live in our little New Village Neighborhood!
