Furnished! I..I mean.. Finished!

I know Monica just wrote a beautiful update on the apartment, but a couple more things have happened. We now have our very own stove! It came Tuesday night. Now all we are waiting for is a hose to connect the stove to the gas line and we are golden. On our last trip to Ikea we found a big sale on a dining room table with chairs. Under $100 for a table and four chairs. It looks a bit cheap, but it still has a homey touch. Candles!! So many candles, our house smells like coconut and vanilla whenever we’re home. We both also have chairs for our rooms. I can’t describe how nice it feels to have a place to sit in the house that isn’t the couch. It allows our lives to have division. We aren’t eating, sleeping, and watching a movie all from the same spot. We get to eat at the table, sleep in our own rooms, and watch movies on the couch. When it comes down to it, it truly is the little things that make the biggest difference. Granted, this apartment sucked up every ounce of savings we had since moving here, but the end result is nice. It feels good to have a home here. And since we are in the middle of town, we will get to do so many things we couldn’t do before! In fact, I have already joined a gym that Cas goes to, and I am going to it with her tonight! Prayerfully, we’ve learned a valuable life lesson and this won’t happen to us again. Thank you to everybody who has been praying for us during this, and also thank you to our families, who helped us any way they could.
