Home Sweet Home

On Monday we moved into our new house. Even though there is still lots of unpacking to be done, it still feels pretty much like heaven. I love not only being in our own place, but in this place. The house is really cute. We're about a block away from our senior pastor's house, fairly close to the church, and near coffee shops and a great park. We've also had a full week of glorious sunshine, which always makes life better. Stella and I have had lots of nice walks and time at the park.

I got my hair cut today. This is my first really good haircut in quite a long time, and I am so pleased. I love how a haircut (especially a long overdue one) can make you feel like a new person. Also, Jake and Erin have been visiting the last couple of days. They're headed to the airport right now for a late-night flight back to Houston. They were in town for a conference, and stayed here with us in our new house. Stella got really attached to Erin, and I imagine I will be hearing a lot of talk about Erin over the next few days. It has been so fun to have them here. I love having people around, and sometimes I really miss having other people live with us. (Auntie Michaela, we miss you!) On Saturday we checked out Snappy Dragon, a local Chinese place that everyone raves about, and discovered that it truly is as tasty as they say. Sunday we had a bunch of people over and Jonathan bbq'd burgers in yet more beautiful weather. It is fantastic to finally be able to have people over, which both Jonathan and I absolutely love to do.

So, we now have a house, let the visiting begin! :)
