For Bequita

My dear mother-in-law has had her heart ripped out by Andrew and I. She and Travis gracioulsy opened their home to us for 8 months while we tried to sell our house in Dallas. Then one day Andrew got a call, out of the blue, from a company in Tulsa,Oklahoma. They offered him a great job and he took it. Thus, the part of ripping Bequita's heart out, we moved to Oklahoma the first week of May. It is nice to be back "home." I have been living away from my family for the last 4 years. It is so nice to be back to hang out with all of them. Anyway, Bequita made me promise that I would start writing my blog again so she could keep up with our life now that we aren't there everyday. :) So this is for you Bequita!


We had had a busy week our first week here. Madison Jane turned 1 on May 4th. We celebrated her birthday on April 30th. I will post more on that later. We also had unpacking to do...YUCK! The bad part is we are only here for 3 months, then we do it all over again. His company provided a furnished apartment for us for 3 months so we could find where we want to live. Problem is we still have our house to sell. :(


Here are a few pictures of our current apartment. (please excuse the mess. I wasn't going to take pictures until it was all in order, but that never seemed to happen so I did the best I could!)

This is our building. The porch and one car garage is ours. This is also our balcony above the garage.

This is the entry way. When you come in from the garage or front porch you have to walk up the stairs to get to the living area. It is nice because the only thing underneath us is garages. I don't have to worry about people below us getting mad at all the jumping going on. Cannon is not suited for apartment living. :)


This is at the top of the stairs. It is, as you can see, our computer area.

The lovely kitchen.

The living area. That is the door to the balcony. It is safe for the kids to be out on too.

The kids room. Nice and compact! (And unorganized at this point!)

The hallway bathroom.

Our lovely decorated bedroom. I am going a little crazy not having any decorative things around. I love for my living space to be pretty. :( I keep telling myself, It's only 3 months!

Our bathroom has a nice big garden tub.

It really is a nice place to live, especially for free! I am grateful for God providing us with this opportunity as well. Hopefully in the next three months something will happen with our house and we will be able to find a new place of our own. :)
