settling in to our oklahoma home!

Our 8 weeks of living here in Oklahoma will certainly be interesting!  We arrived on Friday afternoon, and we were shown to our "room"--actually, instead of a room,  picture a boys dorm at church camp :) That is what our family is living in for the next 8 weeks!  Some of you may have seen this picture (when we first arrived) that I posted on Instagram on Friday:

Lots of bunk bed, huh??  Basically, we have a ton of beds but there wasn't much floor space!  Lol.  So anyway, thankfully I married a very handy and creative guy, and he has turned our family dorm into a great living space!  Here is a little tour:

of course, our kids quickly turned our room into their own personal playground :)  So many beds to jump on!  Praying for no broken bones!

With the help of some of our fellow classmates--aka, more creative dads--Nathan got our room looking good!!

Now, this is how our room looks when you walk in.  More floor space, and separated into different "spaces".  Such as...

a "pantry" :)

A Lego area (definitely a must with these kids!)...

A "fort" area...

A coloring area/homeschooling area!

This is our "junk drawer"--actually more of a "junk shelf" :)

The kids' "bedroom"--Nathan pushed four bunk beds together and the kids sleep in the four bottom bunks.  They all sleep with their heads in the middle--which is actually turning out to be a pretty hyper way for them to go to bed :)  We may have to rethink it!  They do gymnastics on the bars above their beds :)

in their beds...

Here is the door to our "bedroom".  The black curtain is our "door":

You can see the corner of our bed, Nathan's desk, and our "closet" :)

Our bathroom is great for the kids' teeth brushing!  

And we have 6 showers!  Also notice the bunk bed that we shoved in our shower room--haha!  One less bunk bed in our dorm!  We had to put them anywhere we could!

As you can see, it's a bit dusty around here :)  The kids have been using our van as a canvas!  They sure are creative!

Thanks for your prayers!  We are settled in and ready to dive into this Cherokee language.  I will post more about that next.  Love ya'll!  (can you tell we've been living in the South?) ;)
