We've been living in St.Louis for a month this weekend! That's crazy! Time has already gone by super fast. We love it here so far. Me, being from here, it hasn't taken too much time to adjust to city life again, but my husband on the other hand....he came from Centralia, IL. Ever heard of it? Yeah, me neither until I met him:) It's a bigger town than Greenville, IL though! So we moved from Greenville, IL, population= 7,000 people to St. Louis, population= a lot more. I'm trying to get used to city life again. I think what I miss the most is being able to call up a girlfriend and tell them I'm going stop by in 2 minutes. No, here in the city, everyone is way busier and they don't live just 2 minutes away. You have to plan more. Ugh. We LOVE our apartment. Its in Richmond Heights, MO..nice and safe. Highway 40 is basically our backyard, but we are getting used to sirens, loud trucks, and people accidentally driving on the rumble strips. That first week I woke up a lot from loud noises, but now it's all good. Side note...I woke/wake Scott up a lot still from my crazy sleep talking and crazy actions I do in my sleep. I like to hear the stories every morning...I make me laugh.
We found a great church, we have great friends, we love our place, everything is convenient, but our jobs are just ok. Mine is getting a lot better, but it's just taking time to build the program. Scott is job searching again...yay!(said in a very sarcastic tone). God has still been so faithful and his provision never fails. Our awesome neighbor only made us pay him one small fee and now we have internet for almost free! Jered, my bro-in-law, gave us his bunny ears (antenna), so we get the 3 best channels (the Office, Modern Family, the news, Biggest Loser)! AND I have a sweet deal picking up kids from school everyday and taking them to sports practices or home to make some extra mula every week! Seriously, that all happened in one day. God is good all the time, for realz. Here are some pics of our new apt...it still basically looks this way except no white patches on the wall anymore:)
