New Place!

It's pretty cool to see how quickly God can take something that seems eternally stressful and make it into something easy. I'm talking about moving into a new place. Liz starts Grad School in College Park, Maryland on August 31st and we get married on October the 10th. The last thing we needed to plan for was an apartment to rent. I really wanted to take care of this for Liz, seeing as she's in Summer school and still trying to tie up the ends of the wedding planning.

So, BOOM! I was able to hit a few search engines, and a week later have secured a cute little basement apartment for a fair price half a mile to Liz's campus. It's in a house and not in an apartment building, it will be fully renovated prior to us moving in, and the lessor is a really genuine guy (hard to come by in the DC/Metro Area). All in all, I didn't need to make many phone calls when I was researching. God made it pretty clear where He wanted us to be and how it was to go down. Once we got to College Park, it felt as if we were just visiting and everything went casually.

Jeremiah 29:11 is something that I have stood on during this whole "transition" phase. I mean, if God was so blatant that this was where He wanted us to be, He made it pretty easy for our transition. I love the little things God does for us, just because He loves us!

Pictures to follow in an update...

It was really weird/neat to walk around the apartment with you because that's where we're going to establish our family. It was like, "wow," this is going to be OUR bedroom. I'm happy with it and I'm sure we'll have fun with the place - it will be our little hobbit hole, which gets me thinking that we should totally make a sign that names our apartment as the Hobbit House or something corny like that. Ha!
