We're all moved in!

It has been so long since our last posting and much has occurred over the past two weeks. To our excitement, we have moved into our place over here. We have spent long days making it a comfortable place to call home. We have enjoyed painting the walls and scavenging the city for the best deals for all of our home essentials. Our flat came with a kitchen table, a couch, and a bed. It has been like getting married all over again as we chose our dishes, towels, bedding... Every time we go to do something we find one more thing we need to buy. We went to hang a cabinet in the bathroom and realized we needed a drill and screwdriver. We were doing our laundry and in the middle of it had to go and buy two clothes drying racks (many people choose to hang their clothes here rather than dry them). It has been quite adventurous carting all of our purchases back home on public transportation. One Sunday at church, a man came up to us and said that he had spotted us walking down O'Connell Street (the absolute busiest street for pedestrians) with huge bags in each of our hands. It was all of our bulky bedding and pillows. I am sure it was quite entertaining for him to watch us weave in and out of the crazy crowds. Gotta love it!

Although our place is quite tight, we are absolutely loving it. For all you planning to come and stay with us... expect a teenie tiny bathroom and an aero mattress on the ground... but for the lucky few who stayed with us in our last place in La Mirada it is a step in the right direction. At least now you will have more than just a curtain between yourself and us snuggled in bed :)

Gotta love shoes! Looking at this now sheds light as to why our luggage was soooo expensive!

Our bed... obviously :)
