Home, Sweet Apartment!

HOORAY, I get my husband back! Daniel (and my parents) arrived safely in Liberal Thursday night around midnight. We stayed at a hotel for the night and then (after I went to my morning training session for school) Daniel and I went to sign our lease for our new apartment! =)

After many, many pages of paperwork (this is government housing, after all) we signed our first lease together! (Slash our first real lease ever.) We think this comic about sums up our thoughts on the matter...

It's a little bit goofy to be "All Grown Up"... but we are also super, super excited to have our own place!! We got a lot of unpacking and furniture-arranging done yesterday, so things are starting to look pretty good in here, especially on the main floor. Here are a few pictures to give you an idea....

The unloading begins.

Taking a lunch break on our living room floor -- with our new picnic basket of awesomeness from Bethany! =)

You can see the whole building better in this one -- it's a little town house! =)

U-Haul: Conquered

Sitting at our kitchen table (notice the centerpiece - thanks again, seestow!).

So that's (part of) our new abode! We worked hard pretty much all day yesterday, and then went out to dinner at Billy's, which is a local favorite. And for good reason! They have DELICIOUS food... and it's pretty reasonably priced for a restaurant, too! 

Then after dinner I REALLY, REALLY wanted to show everybody my classroom... so we stopped by West for a little visit. 

I have a badge and keys. Be afraid.

Mrs. SJ's corner! =)

Lots of work to do on both the classroom and the house -- but it will be good! Another day of unpacking today... We'll keep you posted. And don't forget, if you're ever driving through the middle of nowhere and notice yourself surrounded by cows, do please stop in for a visit! We'd love to have you! =)
