our home sweet home

Well-- we did it! Evan and I were married exactly 3 weeks and two days ago!
I don't have any pictures quite yet, but as soon as I get them I'll post them. But rest assured, it was the perfect day. With sunny skies, 72 degree weather, the little white chapel, "getting away" in my Dad's little red '76 Fiat and 4 choices of cheesecake at the reception, I could not have asked for anything more lovely and more beautiful than our wedding day. I can't wait to show you pictures.

But right now, I'm going to show you around my new apartment in Winter Park, FL. This is the living room. It's a really good size! You see Evan's shoulder on the bottom right- he's sitting at the dining room table and to the right of that is the door. I'm standing taking the picture in the kitchen doorway and next to me is the hallway down to the other rooms.

Here is our awesome kitchen. It's a great blue color and has a lot of storage space!

Down that hallway I was telling you about are two bedrooms. I didn't put a picture of one of them in here because of all the boxes lying on the floor, but this is our bedroom. It's complete with walk-in closet and bathroom! The yellow color is a little rough, but we can deal with it for now. There is another bathroom at the end of the hallway too.

I think one of the coolest parts about this place is the huge screened-in porch we have. There are big sliding glass doors both in our bedroom and in the living room that lead out to it. The picture below is the view of all the plants and stuff we see when we look out into the yard.

It's still a bit too warm right now to sit out there and hang out with the heat index "well into the hundreds" as the guy on the radio said yesterday, but I look forward to cool nights that we'll have on the porch.

Pray for me as I am on the job search full-time and Evan is seeking more permanent, full-time employment as well. Pray also for my transition to down here and away from my family and friends.
God has blessed us richly with everything we need and with a wonderful church family down here. We are so blessed to be together :-)
