APT. UPDATE

Hello and happy new year from the new place!
People, I can't believe it's a new year. Wow, wow, wow.
And a lot has happened.

Anyway, as y'all know, Jeffrey and I have landed in our new little apartment (first time renters, y'all) and there are already a few mistakes we've made along the way. Ha. Like ... hrm, we probably should've asked for a non-smoking room (not even sure if that's a thing to be honest) because our apartment was smoke-filled when we entered. Ha! It's funny looking back at it. Also, we forgot to even ask if this place came with a laundry unit. Good news is that it does (and we read that on the site), but bad news is that the laundry unit is downstairs. Downstairs! It's all good, though. Really, it's all good.

Being in a totally new place with zero family has been tough because ... well, I don't know anyone here! And that's just a personal problem for me because I get that it's not about knowing people, etc. But I sure did feel lonely. The first night, some of the boys came to help us move in and we went out for dinner and that was very nice. Jeffrey and I came back to a dark, empty, cold apartment and I couldn't help but think about my family and just wanting to be in a place of comfort.

Things have gotten better since the first night. Ha! My in-laws came to visit with the rest of our stuff. We've tidied up our place. Made it cozier. And this place feels like our place now. It's definitely exciting ... this whole being on our own thing, but if I'm being honest, I'm not used to this. And I don't think I will be yet. But it's okay because my hope is in Christ alone. I know that in Him is where I find true comfort and rest and because of Christ ... this is all going to be just fine.
