The Happenings Of Us: Moving Apartments...

What a crazy busy and productive week! Becky is checked out of her old apartment and is living in the new apartment in Triad Park. I (this is Nathan writing) am now out the the Campus Students for Christ and am living with Keith and Lindsay Luecht until I get to move in with my stuff and WIFE after the wedding in August. My schedule has been so busy with moving all of Becky's stuff, organizing the new apartment, taking a trip to Springfield, working on wedding invitation stuff, and working at the music library and Cafe Aroma that Keith didn't know if he could believe that I was actually living with them. The first two nights I came in after they were in bed and left before they were up. Thankfully, Keith woke me up this morning and we went to breakfast and had some great man time! Becky, on the other hand, is currently shopping for a wedding dres! I'm so excited to be marrying her in a little over two months. They (mostly family members are with her) are shopping today at David's Bridal. Becky has seven dresses to try on but we'll see how long she is actually in the store. Once she gets back, we get in the car with Amanda and all go to my family's house in Winnebago, IL for Memorial Day. I haven't been home very much this semester and cannot wait to see my parents and Micah again. Sadly, I don't get to see Josh until June (sorry Erica and Lilah, I think we have to wait until August), but that is coming quickly. Then comes August when we get to see all of our closest friends and family at the wedding.

Anyways, more about moving in all of our stuff into the apartment. Becky, her mom (who was thankfully here for a week!!) and Amanda Neira went into the new apartment and decided the walls needed to be painted. We did not give maintenance enough time to paint so they went and got some wonderful colors and we painted the place very quickly. This and cleaning took a day (Tuesday). On Wednesday, the girls went to the apartment and finished the painting while I worked in the music library. When I got off work, we were able to move all of Becky's stuff in. I must take a moment to say that GOD is great and has given us amazing friends. We were expecting 5 people in total to be moving stuff and somehow 11 people showed up. I think GOD made sure the word got around because everybody was utilized. And I must say that GOD was also at work in getting the couch upstairs. I have no idea how the guys got it upstairs through the tiny stairwells. It is interesting now to see how Becky and I are fitting all of the furniture from a two story apartment into a small, one bedroom apartment. It is a lot of fun...we both love organizing and interior decorating type stuff.
