Getting There...

So, we're actually getting closer to getting everything done.  I can actually walk around the kitchen.  The living room has multiple places to sit, too!  I think that Amy and I are not stressing nearly as much.  It's now just down to unpacking boxes and stuff.  Even Gizmo is happier.  She has room to run around, toys, and an awesome outside yard, complete with squirrels and birds.

I think that today, we're going to go out tonight for Amy's birthday, since yesterday we didn't do anything.  We don't know where we're going yet, but I'm sure we'll find something that is good and cheap.  There's a bunch of cheap authentic Mexican restaurants around here.

We are SUPER excited to go to Istoria tomorrow.  We are finally going to be members there!  I feel as though we've been honorary members for a while now.  It almost feels like we're going home finally, a home that we've never lived in before, but home nonetheless.  I can't wait to get everything in a nice stable condition at the house so that I can focus on finding a job and start serving the community.  It's going to be interesting to see how this whole "Living Jesus" thing plays out.

Unpacking

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!!!  I love you and you're the best ever!  Thanks for supporting me and going to IL with me!

So, we've been here for three days and we're still in the throws of unpacking and organizing things and it's going to take years!!!  The house we're moving into is much smaller and has a lot less space for storing stuff than our last house.  Now we have to find out where to put all of the extra stuff.  To add extra stress to the situation, our washer gushes out water into the house, we have very little water pressure, and Lillian doesn't have a door for her room.  It's already been a crazy stressfull time here and we haven't even started living yet!  Neither of us have found any good leads on jobs.  The only sure thing that we have right now is that I'm starting college on the 30th.  I guess I asked for this.  Asked God to make you trust Him more and He's more than willing to oblige.
