WATER!

So, yesterday, we got very great news! They told us that we could move into an apartment with running water! That means we have a sink for doing dishes, a shower, a toilet, and a bathroom sink. I know this doesn't seem like a very big deal, but after 5 months without those things in an apartment, it's huge!

We are now living on the third floor, which is pretty awesome. It means we get a lot more visitors. But it also means stairs. The third floor has single girls and marrieds. We actually live right down the hall from both of Joel's brothers and their families. It's pretty awesome. And I can't really complain about the stairs, because I think it's a blessing in disguise. It will be good for me to "exercise" more, and those stairs will be my exercise.

It was fun doing dishes in our own apartment with a real sink. I really enjoyed it. Probably weird, but I've kind of always (or almost always) liked doing dishes. But I think that I really enjoyed it because I felt like a real wife. I got to be in our own home doing wifely things. It was great.

This apartment is set up a little differently than our other one too, which I really like. The kitchen is right there when you walk in. To the left is the bathroom. To the right is the living room and the door to the bedroom. And our bedroom is a lot bigger than in the other apartment. It has two closets, and three windows. And best of all is that the heater is super quiet, well at least compared to the other heater. In our old apartment it was so loud. It seriously sounded like little people were inside of it pounding hammers on metal, and then it would sound like a bathtub being filled up.

So all that to say, we love our new apartment. We feel and are so very blessed to have it. I'm still kind of in shock that we have running water. It's amazing.
