now, all our bags are packed & ready to go!! (how do we have SO much stuff??!)
bare and scrubbed clean... good bye old apartment!
bye to our next door neighbours! he was so cute, he ran inside the house and brought us a cookie and gave us another hug.
bye to Ana from the pulperia (little shop) a few houses down from us that we visited often when we were cooking and realized we were out of eggs or milk or something!
called a taxi, and we're off!
i can't believe we fit everything into one taxi!
opening the door to our new house!!
moving on in!
my new room... with enough room for guests coming to visit! :)
julianne's new room
more awesome extra's... a hammock to catch a nap in! :)
and a yard to play frisbee in...!
our living-room-turned-saturday-night-theatre with a projector borrowed from school! :)
and, most happy for me, just a very relaxing and quiet spot to write my thesis in for the next couple months! :)
i have to tell you, the last semester i got pretty depressed sometimes in our very new and nice but noisy and stuck-in-the-city home. i used to stay at school from 7am - 7pm so i could get some work done where it's quiet enough for me to think, and before i started walking to school and getting to enjoy a bit of outside that way, i'd go walk to a spot about 20 minutes away and peer through the fence of two houses to get a glimpse of the open valley and river below, and i just wanted so much to be in nature! on sundays especially, i'd try to have a bit more quiet time and read and journal, and i'd get SO frustrated with the car alarms and ATVs and screaming kids in the street, cute as they are in person. i guess i'm not quite a city girl at heart! probably near the end of october, i had found a place i hoped to move into close to here, and when everything was set and ready to go, the owner said he actually wasn't renting it out after all, and i was so disappointed. anyways, this house is even more beautiful and i am SO very thankful now for this home!
so here it is, our new home! great is thy faithfulness! :)
