Me

So I had so many ideas of things I was going to blog about but now that I actually have a computer in front of me i'm drawing a blank.

We are going to be moving to a 1 bedroom apartment next tuesday.  I went to look at it this afternoon and was pleasantly suprised how big it is.  It actually seems bigger than our current apartment.  What I loved too is that we have patio doors off of both the kitchen and the living room and there is SOOOO much light it has a totally different atmosphere.

The only problem I did notice was the amount of storage.  Only one closet.  Only one dresser.  Now we have two closets and two dressers which seem fairly huge now that I think about it.
But I'm glad to know so then I can plan.

It's also only one building away from our old building with our buddies and our patio faces their building so much so that I can even watch the girls run over to their place.

We are still really enjoying our afternoon sessions.  Today was fabulous, it was a woman (our first female speaker) and she shared so much personal stuff and was sooo funny it made me wish some of the other guys were less intellectual.  Since it was super easy to learn from her.

I just spent an hour hanging out with a 19 year old girl from Steinbach.  She is here with 4 other friends from Southland Church (this is Carla and Doug's church)

She was just sharing about all the questions she has about what to do with her life.  School, pursue her sport to higher levels, quit her job.  Crazy, made me so thankful I wasn't 19 again.  But boy did I enjoy talking to her.

We've also met this fabulous couple from northern ireland who have contagious accents.  The have 3 grown children and are the coolest couple on earth still.  Lots of fun with them however we only really connect with people during our sessions or on our way to the prayer room.

Thank goodness we have met the young families we have as they have made our time here much more social.  I'll post pictures of the girls new friends soon.  Tomorrow I'm having little Selah over for 2 hours so her mom can get some much needed sleep.  Selah is 3 as well and her mom is the one with the baby who is sick.  I am planning on making playdoh with them all where they each make their own color.  Funny enough my biggest problem is finding enough bowls for them to use.  I plan on using 2 pots to improvise. 

I'm looking forward to the weekend.  Last sunday we just jumped in the van and drove downtown and meandered around sight seeing.  We came across the National World War I museum and it was beautiful.  We loved seeing all the architecture and the buildings.  Really looking forward to sightseeing with my in-laws when they arrive Oct 4th.  The girls are sooo excited and they don't even know that we are all going to a water park and staying at a hotel.  My in-laws are quite wonderful people.  I look forward to posting some fun pictures of this adventure.

Anyway, Jon brought the kids out to the coffee shop to bring me home for supper.  My one hour of Rhonda time is officially over.

Miss you all.  Rhonda
