Getting moved in - Part 1

Preparations for Aaron and I to move into our new apartment are coming along swimmingly. The new carpet has been put down and looks great! We also began moving some of our stuff in today. We moved in the massive stash of wedding gifts that has been in my old room at Mom and Dad's house as well as most of my possessions (sans clothing, some books, and some CD's). I am really excited about getting things together! I can't wait to have everything in and organized. We plan to be completely moved in by December 1st, though if we can swing it maybe by Thanksgiving. It's been very nice living in Newnan with Aaron's family, but we are both very much ready to have our own space. The first thing we plan on doing once our new pad is settled is having our friend Joan over for dinner. She is a very sweet lady who has been a friend of my family for a long time. Last Sunday she approached my Dad at church to say that she had been thinking about it for a couple of months and wanted to pay our first month's rent! Aaron and I were SO touched that we decided we absolutely had to make her our first guest for dinner as a small way of thanking her for this immense act of kindness. After that I think it would be fun to mabye have some friends over for a housewarming. We will see what we can afford to do.

Quick Update

I am typing this from my Mother-in-law's computer due to the fact that my laptop has effectively decided to be useless. I cannot get it to go past the welcome screen, which leads me to believe it has some sort of crazy bad virus or something. This is particularly bad since I really want to do some job hunting. Meh. Geek Squad here I come as soon as we can afford it.

Also, I got my hair cut for Locks of Love yesterday! I got a full TWELVE INCHES hacked off, and I think I like it! I haven't had my hair short in years, but I think it looks better now that I have bangs to go with it.

Renovations on the floor at the house in Newnan are coming along quite well. I will be glad when it is all done. Aaron and I are really looking forward to moving back to Lilburn. We are SOOOO grateful to Janine for allowing us to live with her rent free this month, but we are longing for our own place. Please pray for us as we continue to look for jobs and get our feet on the ground.
