Update

Wow, it has been a while since I last posted. I guess it's time for an update, especially considering how much has changed in the last few weeks!

The biggest thing is that we moved back to Walker, MN! Something we always said we would never do, but God likes to surprise us. It was actually rather spur of the moment considering how big of a decision moving is. But when we got the idea in our head we prayed fervently that if God wanted us to make the move He would open up a place to live and jobs for us, which He definitely did! My sister found us an apartment right in town and she also had the connections to get me a waitressing job across the street and Chris a job at a sporting goods retailer down the block. And to make things even better, our apartment is much bigger than we expected, perfect location, has a great big deck, and we absolutely love it! And the waitressing job is going to make me much more money than I ever could have made at Applebees. Chris hasn't started his job yet, but he is really excited to be working in a "man store" every day :-P

Other news is that we found out we are having a girl!!! We are so excited! We fully expected it to be another boy, but I had a little feeling deep down that it was a girl and it was a huge surprise when we found out! We're very excited to be able to have both, such a huge blessing! Although it is going to be challenging because it's an all new experience for us since we only know how to raise boys up to age 2. I guess we will learn as we go, as all parents do :-P

A couple random bits of good news: We got a new toilet today! When we moved in our toilet was having a really hard time flushing so we told the landlord and the fixer-upper guys came in today and brought us a whole new toilet that flushes beautifully! They also fixed the bathroom fan which didn't work. Also, the realty company we rent from is below us and one store over and they told us we are welcome to pick up their wi-fi if we don't want to pay for internet. Well, we haven't been able to pick it up with our desktop all week, but we moved it to a different room and plugged our wireless adapter into a different port and now we can pick it up! Woohoo! It's not a great signal, but I can sure use the internet, plus it is free! Now if only we could pick up free cable we would be totally set :-P

We've unpacked most everything, but still need to organize a lot, so that's probably what I'll be doing all week since I don't work again until Friday. Busy season doesn't really get going until about mid-June and since I'm the new girl I won't get very many shifts until that hits. But once it hits I won't have much free time, so I really need to appreciate it while I've got it!

Well that's enough for tonight, I will try to update more often now that we are settled in and picking up wi-fi :-)
