F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G, but Good

Check out the "Our 'New' Home" Post to finally see the pictures of our apartment. I have finally uploaded all of them. Here are some picts of our unfinished Moon Room (named such because it is North-Facing, as opposed to a South-facing Sun room) Obviously still under construction. Will upload more picts as project progresses.





So... right now, Adrianna and I are at the volleyball tourney here in our little village. Jake and Dan stayed at our apartment with DJ to watch the rest of the Indians Baseball game. Dan was practically falling out of the recliner with excitement; he was not leaving for a UNK volleyball HS match. The Indians game is at the bottom of the 9th, and still tied 6 to 6. I have been slow to start my blog because everyone has been asking me to get online and check the score from the bleachers here in the gym. It is impossible to get away from athletic events. I think it is very good that we went to the MARINERS game with Jeff, Teya, and Brennan this summer (where I had a lot of fun)... or I would be resenting sports in general. After all, gross motor skills and I have never gotten along; they've only been a source of humiliation for most of my life. But now that I am confident in my other (non-athletic) abilities, it is not a problem anymore, and I am starting to enjoy sports through Nintendo Wii (thank you Jared, Loretta, Bill, and Grandma Betty)... and even enjoy being subjected to a live game once in a while. I must say, I have been really CRAVING a game of raquetball lately, and have found myself remembering with fondness the time I had to guard Nate Simmons during a BB game. Yeah... that was educational... but it makes me smile.

Well, we finally bought a mirror for our guest bathroom yesterday. And then we hung it. And shortly thereafter, we heard a loud crash.

We bought another mirror today.

Come rain or shine, you will have a mirror to see that face of yours (that we miss so much) when you come to visit us.

One week left in the quarter... then we have our big district conference. The year is going by so quickly. All is well, except for the fact that we are ABSOLUTELY FREEZING in our new place, and we still don't have a great sound barrier between the two levels. We are still thankful to be out of district housing, but without heat in all the rooms, and unfinished rooms, we're losing heat constantly, and DJ has actually been waking up in the middle of the night from being cold. Can't wait to get that problem fixed. It has only become a problem in the last few weeks, as winter is making its approach known.

Here are some picts of our truck. Not the prettiest... but it gets us from A to B so far, and we're really thankful to be out of the wind as the weather gets colder--especially for DJ. We bought it from friends, and got a great deal on it. One more reason to count our blessings.







































Love you all,
