Change of Address

We are moving to Hamburg and I simply cannot wait! Here are the reasons why...

*The apartment is actually a cutie little brick house with our apartment on the bottom level and only one other apartment upstairs.

*Hardwood floors.

*DISHWASHER! and a BRAND NEW refrigerator

*The landlords just redid the bathroom and it is simply beautiful! The bathtub is also BRAND NEW which means no one else has ever taken a bath in it. I will be the very first one. HORRAY!!

*A great back yard for the pug to run circles in.

*There is PLENTY of space in the basement and GARAGE for storage.

*There is a washer/dryer hook up so we might be in the market for those...

*LOCATION! We are so close to all stores, entertainment, my sister Amanda...anything we could possibly need or want. (including schools and might just want a job in one of those) Yet, our home is in a residential area that is quiet and calm.

*The landlords are AWESOME! When we were looking for a place yesterday we did not really have a plan. I was just driving down random streets and saw the sign in the yard that a two bedroom apartment was available. We called the number and Jonathan chatted with Ann Lorraine. She told him what the rent was and he told her that he was a chaplain. When we meet her at 2pm that afternoon she told us she would like to lower the rent for us because she understands that people in ministry do not make a lot of money. I had to ask her to repeat herself because I thought I did not hear her right. She also offered to pay for some area rugs since it is all hardwood floors and when I asked if I could take down the blinds (I hate cleaning those darn things) she said "oh I will have my husband take those right down. You shouldn't have to live with anything you don't like." And she said "Let us know if you need any curtain rods." We are so blown away by their generosity. What a blessing!!

I am so darn excited! (hence the multiple uses of capital letters and exclaimation marks) We will probably start moving stuff the second weekend in October. I hope Jonathan can stand me the next couple of weeks. Pray for him as I go into super organizing and cleaning mode.

P.S. I think I want this desk for our new office.
