Moving

After all of our troubles with PODS (see earlier post) our stuff has finally arrived! We are pretty much completely moved in too! And i am absolutely loving our new place. After living at wymount, i feel like i'm living in a mansion. It is amazing!
We are renting a town house in an area called manchester village in indianapolis. People here are so so friendly. And there are a lot of other dental students and their families living in the same area as us, as well as a few medical students. On saturday we went for a bbq with a bunch of them ( i hadn't even been to church to meet them yet). It is wonderful to feel so welcome already. Tomorrow there is a girl's night and they are going to see eclipse, which i will admit, i do want to see, but knowing that my hubby starts school the next morning at 7:30 am makes me want to spend that night with him. But honestly, i am just so thankful for the friendship that has already been extended to us.
Jackson helping us clean up the kitchen. he's actually wearing a Canada t-shirt because our stuff arrived on Canada day, but i never got a good shot of him in it because he was gone most of the day with a wonderful lady from our ward who took him to the park to play with her kids.

While we waited for our things to arrive bryan did a lot of painting. that includes the entire downstairs (livingroom/kitchen/dining room), jackson's room, a bathroom and an accent wall in our bedroom. it looks wonderful and has really made me feel like this is home (at least for 4 more years).
I absolutely love love love my living room. Everything is new minus decorations on the walls. Our couch is awesome,and i honestly just feel like it is a great place to relax. I'm only posting a picture of the living room because 1) it's my favorite and 2) i'm not caught up on house keeping and don't feel like showing off how messy the rest of my home is.

So overall, i like Indianapolis- though it could cool down about 10 degrees and lose a lot of the humidity and i wouldn't complain about it. But i like it more han i expected to. Istill really miss my family. Luckily bryan's sister and her family have just moved to michigan so we have family within driving distnace. In fact, we went to see them after church on sunday and went to the 4th of july fireworks with them. but i'll save that for another post. We sure do love them and are glad they are close by. And Jackson loved seeing his cousins for the first time. I don't think i've ever seen him so giggly and happy before.

Thanks to all of the awesome people who helped with our move. And to the rest of our friends and family not close by, know that we are missing you and love you lots.
