We're Moving Again

It's been awhile since I've posted, but it's not because I've had nothing to post. I guess I just haven't been in the mood. Well, I'm in the mood (No, not that kind of mood, get your minds out of the gutter ;). No seriously, lots has been going on. We have been in the process of looking for a new apartment for awhile now as it has become obvious to us that the apartment we are in now doesn't work for us. We were blessed to have it for as long as we did, it was a sublet, and the guy we subletted from was only charging us half rent, but at the end of August the rent would go back to full price, so we decided to look for something else. We did basically all our looking in one day, looking at 8 apartments, and we found an apartment we really liked. It's in an older building, but the inside was completely rebuilt only 2 years ago, so the apartment is new, which is nice. Usually we go for the old apartments wth character, but the newness of this apartment is a large part of what drew us to it. I will post pictures once we move in, which is this weekend! Officially the move in date is September 1st, but the apartment is unoccupied right now so the guy said we could move in, (or our stuff at least), beginning this weekend which is great. We're really excited about the move for several reasons: We'll be closer to the church, so less commute, the living room is larger so we can entertain more people and fit the youth better on youth nights, it has an actual specified dinning area, so we can actually use our dinning table and have real dinner parties, it has more and bigger closets, and best of all, it has a dishwasher! Yay! We were really hoping to find a place that had a washer and dryer too, but that really ups the price so we decided we could live without that. What is also great about the apartment is that it is only $50 more a month then the price we would pay if we stayed where we presently are, and we like it sooooooooo much better. So that's a huge thing that's been going on.

But that's not all folks (Say in cheesy game show host voice). I preached this past weekend at church. I was nervous for several reasons: preaching itself is a bit nerve wracking because it is such a huge responsability, plus I was leading worship as well, (as usual), and I didn't want it to be Sarah overload. But the Lord was faithful and everything went really well. I even had people tell me that the message was just what they needed to hear, which is so encouraging.

I guess those are the big highlights. Packing begins again. Hopefully that goes smoothly. Well, it's late and I am going to bed. More things are swirling around in my head now that I could say but it's too late. I'm off. Maybe next time.
