Settling In

Today we finally picked up some plug adapters for our electronics. So we charged up our computers and are ready to go. We put up curtains and sheets on our bed so we will be sleeping in our bedroom tonight for the first time. (We slept in our own place for the last three nights in our sleeping bags. We actually like our sleeping bags a lot, so it was no problem.) But we are really happy to have our own place starting to feel like home.

We still have a lot of work to do on the place. Lots of painting, re-flooring, papering the walls, etc. Construction is a good bit different here, so we are learning a lot. And Mike is so good at this stuff; I am lucky. :) We have been to the B&Q and Homebase more times than I can count now. B&Q is like a smaller Home Depot and Homebase is like Target and Home Depot combined.

Some CMF missionaries are leaving England this week and so we got some of their stuff for free. It was really wonderful! We got night stands, a coffee table, a kettle, an iron, mirrors, dishes, flatware, a bookshelf, and the list goes on. Thanks to Mary Ann and Bruce!! We also got a bed for free and we already bought a kitchen table and chairs from IKEA for super cheap. Later on we are hoping to get a couch and a washer. Lots of people here only have washers and they are all kept in the kitchen. Strange.

Things at Canvas are really great! We have met a lot of students and are really enjoying living next door! Next week the official Canvas events start and we are really looking forward to it! Kick off party on Tuedsay night, wahoo!

That's all for now! Oh and PS, happy birthday to Mike's dad!!
