Shifting to the East Side...

Life has been crazy since training ended over a week ago!! Lindsey and I have found an apartment and have shifted (Hindi/English word for move) from the South side to the East side (accross the river). I absolutely love my new apartment!! We had NOTHING when we moved in so I have spent a lot of my time shopping. We got to pick out ALL new furniture and all new pots and pans, washing machine, and refrigarator!! It has been fun but also tiring( you know how much i love to shop). A task in India for some reason seems to take three times as long here than in the states. So it seems like we have just been busy trying to accomplish small things. We have also spent a lot time waiting around our apartment for plumbers and electricians and service people to come. It has been kind of challenging with my limited Hindi skills- luckily many people here speak English.

So anyways, I am officially unpacked and settled into my flat. Today I also got internet hooked up in my apartment!! It is soo great to feel connected to the world again.

I have been nothing but blessed since I moved into my apartment. Thank you for all your prayers in asking that we would find the one God had for us and for praying for great landlords. He has answered ALL of our prayers and plus some! My landlords are wonderful and some of the sweetest Indians I have ever met!! They have been nothing but helfpul and a blessing! Already growing to love them!! I have also met some amazing woman who live here. They love to laugh and have fun!! I look forward to getting to know these woman that God has placed in my path.

Everyday the Lord reminds me that He handpick this place for me with Love and most intentional thought! I am overwhelmed by how blessed I am nad how much God loves me. I don't deserve it!! Praise God for my new apartment. Feel free to come visit me here... I know you want to see it also!!!

This is Lindsey and I at the Idea store. We finally got cell phones and they work!! It took them three days to officially connect them, but we were so THANKFUL when they finally worked.


















This is me sitting on my furniture!! My landlords were nice enough to give us these chairs until our furniture comes. Dominoes was our first meal!! It required no dishes and free delivery!!

This was the first meal that Lindsey and I made and ate in our apartment! It was a grilled cheese sandwich and an apple.
Here are the first things that we bought to put into our fridge. The necessary things such as: milk, eggs, coke, butter, and etc...
This is me making my bed so that I can spend my second night in my apartment on an actual bed!!!


This is the result of unpacking! My bed looks like a pharmacy. Anyways, I thought it was a fun picture of all my extra stuff to last me the next couple of years!!
