Moving On Up...

to Prosper, TX that is!  Life as we've known it for the past 11 months has come to an end.  We've been enjoying life in our little apartment, but are at a point where paying off debt and saving money is of more importance to us than our own comfort.  We are blessed to have the opportunity to do this, mainly because of the generosity of my in-laws.  They have offered up their home, in order that we might better prepare for our future.  The last couple weeks have been filled with packing up our belongings, mostly for storage, and making the move.
It was a shock to me as I realized how attached I was to that little apartment.  We celebrated many firsts there, including our first Christmas and Valentine's Day as a married couple, my first meals for my husband, the celebration of my first job in TX and many more.  It's reassuring to know that where we live doesn't define who we are.  We look forward to this temporary time that we have with Robbie's parents to grow in our dependence on the Lord and in our relationship with each other and those around us.  

Here is a look at just a few memories in our first "home."

 Our 1st Christmas Tree!

 The table all set for our Valentine's Day dinner.

 I made steak for the first time (Valentine's Dinner)

 We were able to watch plenty of huge TX storms rolling through from our 3rd floor balcony.
