So we finally secured our townhouse.  It actually happened last Tuesday, but it’s taken me until today to finally post about it!  It’s called a 3 bedroom townhouse, though it’s a bit more like a 2 bedroom townhouse with a big closet with a bed in it.  The 3rd bedroom is SO small!  (Kara, this [...]

This week has turned out to be a rather busy one.  Wednesday Mark and I decided to head to Ikea in Belfast as we wanted to get some things for our new place (which we’ve still not moved into but do have keys for) and I needed to get some fabric for my class.  We [...]

God has been so good to us so far.  I don’t want to make it sound like it’s been all roses – we’ve had struggles and everything hasn’t been easy, but MAN He’s taken care of us.  He’s been extravagantly kind.  For example: Traveling with a guitar is a real pain.  If you check it, [...]

Tonight is the last night we’ll sleep in Indianapolis for a long time.  Tomorrow we move out of our cozy room at the Woodruff House and drive to Kokomo to spend a few days with Ange’s parents.  This is so exciting… Well…exciting and sad… Exciting, sad, and fun… Ok, exciting, sad, fun, and bittersweet… Exciting, [...]
