Moving!!

     This is just a quick post to say that over the weekend we successfully moved into our new apartment.  I really, really like it!  I had a few sentimental moments while we were packing and moving, because we were moving out of the apartment that was our "first apartment".  I remember walking into it for the first time right after our honeymoon and being so excited that I had my own home!  I also remember putting everything away in its place, putting pictures and other things up, and making it look more "homey".  I remember having my very first guests for dinner in my little home. I remember finding out that we were expecting our first little bambino.  I remember learning together to trust the Lord as the funds that came in were not quite enough for what we needed.  There were so many more memories that came to my mind as I packed box after box.  Well, life moves on, and I guess at some point everyone ends up moving out of their very first home.
     The youth group was a GREAT help in moving!  They arrived around 9:00, and by 11:00 they had everything moved, my kitchen almost all put away and organized, and a lot of the old apartment cleaned.   Tyler's parents and sister, as well as my good friend Rachel were also a great help.  Rachel is one of those people that has constant energy and can go for hours and hours.  She spent most of the day Friday helping me and several hours on Saturday. Neither Tyler nor I can stand having clutter and boxes everywhere, so we worked until everything was in its place and every picture was hung on the wall...it took us until about 8:30 that night.  It was such a great feeling to know that we were completely done.  Hopefully at some point we will be able to post a few pictures of our new place.
     We have now enjoyed 4 days in our new little home, and are enjoying it very much.  Our next step is to get baby's room ready for him to come.  As his kicks get harder, I realize that the day is fast approaching!  Well, Goodbye for now!
