It's the little things...

Like having a drawer for the dish towels and one for the dish rags, so everything has a place! Having room for the dishes, clothes (well we haven't unpacked them all yet so time will tell with that one), the toothbrushes, the...well pretty much everything. I don't even know how to organize the bathroom going from our seminary one to the multiple drawers and cupboards one we have now! It even has a closest. The hall way has 3 closets! It's a blessing. It's overwhelming. It's weird. And by weird I mean we still sit here every night wondering if we really live here, and if indeed we do, if this place is really in small town Montana. It all seems very surreal. But as Joel schedules marriage counseling and prepares for his first Sunday and his first funeral next week, it all becomes more like regular normal every day life (as if being a pastor is regular or normal!). We're still getting our bearings which will take a while and we're still unpacking and begging for mercy if anyone from the church pops in and sees all of our boxes! But we have found the coffee shop in town, within walking distance (well I guess in this small town pretty much anything is), the library, the post office, the hardware store, we've been on 2 bike rides around town and the kitchen is all unpacked and the beds made...we're on a roll and we're very slowly making this place home. Oh and of course, we didn't forget to water last night! We wouldn't want to ruin that impression the first week here:)
