We arrived safely yesterday afternoon to a heat wave and what will probably be the smallest space Abe and I will ever live in. With the help of some wonderful, young Moody students, we unloaded the truck in no time at all. With all of the items inside, Andrea and Joe (Abbey's sister and husband) showed us one of their favorite sites in this great city...Costco. With a giant box of granola bars in tow, we were treated to some hot, hot Chili (a la Andrea). After much chili and much laughter, we came back to the girls' dorm, unpacked some, and crashed. Day 1 completed.
Day 2 started very late. Awesome. What we thought would be the dining room/study, turned out to be only a study. Sweet for me...I've never had an office. Sad for Abe... no dining room means no dining room table for us at this time. Without the need for a dining room table, we went ahead and returned the Uhaul. Afterwards we decided that a trip to the wonderful land of Ikea would be an alright way to spend the afternoon... and evening. We were there forever. What a place, those Swedes sure know how to make a lot of stuff!
The overall feel of our lives right now is overwhelmed. It's hard to believe that this is our home. The busyness of the city is incredible (and it was the weekend). Traffic is ridiculous. We miss Lucy. Abe is starting a new job. I've lost my identity. But, we are excited to see what God has in store for us here. He brought us here for a reason, we are sure of that.

Happytimes! Nothing like moving INTO the dorms when you're definitely not in that stage, huh?
Be careful at that Ikea store - the day I went there was the day my appendix got angry.
Glad the move went well. Miss you already, but glad God has great things in store for you.
Well, your former car is amazing! I'm bummed that I wasn't able to stop by, but guess what? Theres another wedding on Sept 3rd, in Wheeling. So I'll be around once more. Ciao mis amigos.
