our new home:)

A couple of days ago we traveled up to Michigan, to check out our new apartment! We drove up with Aaron and Jill (if you read Jill's blog you will notice that this post will be almost identical to hers:) Oh well!). We also took Kaine and Halle so that they could see where we will be living, and also Daisy. It was a good day! The drive wasn't bad at all...about 2 1/2 hours. Our apartment is located inside New Tribes Bible Institute (or NTBI). It is a really big, old building...really pretty cool looking. It used to be a middle school. There are classrooms, apartments/dorms, a gym, an auditorium, a cafeteria, a really nice fitness center, and other stuff that I'm probably forgetting:) Most of the apartments and dorms are pretty small, without bathrooms. I think having 4 kiddos worked in our favor, because we ended up with a 3 bedroom apartment WITH a bathroom! I was very thankful to find that out:) We told Aaron and Jill that they can use the bathroom whenever they want to (to give Ivy baths or whatever...their apartment doesn't have a bathroom). So...here are some pictures of our new place! (we are actually not moving there until August, though).

Here it is! Obviously, I didn't take this picture:) It's the best one I could find on the internet.

Jill was such a good sport, having to be crammed between Kaine and Halle!

This is what Daisy did the whole time:

Here is one shot of our living room (K and H were enjoying being my models:) )

Here, I am standing in the kitchen looking into the living room:

This is our bedroom:

Our bathroom, which I am so thankful for!

Here is our kitchen. It has a lot more cupboard space than what we currently have, so that will be so nice!

This is the gym. I think our kids will love having this right outside our door!

So, that's it! We hope we can show it to lots of people in person, too! As much as we really love it here at Gateway, we are getting excited to start this new journey:)
