I just posted some pictures of our new house. We have spent the last few days moving in with the help of our families. I am really excited about the fact that we will actually be able to get DSL there. I'm actually really excited about not being homeless. Also, next weekend we are going to Portland to visit our family, friends and our "old" church (although since we haven't found a new one yet we still refer to it as our church). Last weekend we tried a church and ended up going to the old folks service (you know the traditional one). It wasn't really that uplifting. Tomorrow we will try a new one which is supposed to be more contemporary. Paul, Anna and Wes are sick and I am trying to avoid thier germs. It's really hard not to kiss a baby though.

This is the other half of the barn looking out from our back door. 

This is our view. The house belongs to the people we rent from.

Our house! This half is ours, the other half belongs to the horses and dog. 

My Mom, Grandma and I setting up the kitchen. 

Our class turtle "Tornado". This is his mean face. 

The other day I prayed for an apartment. I told God the specifics of what I wanted, which is not something I normally do, even though I know He can do anything. Last weekend, after looking at two dumps, we looked at a barn apartment that we loved and put a deposit down on it. That's right, we share a building with two horses and dog named Ozzie. As we were moving a few boxes in yesterday we were greeted with a gentle neigh every time we walked through the barn doors with our boxes. It's a beautiful apartment with a view and a yard and it's exactly what we wanted. The people we are renting from are Christians and on the day we looked at the apartment we talked to them for about an hour and a half over tea. We could not be more happy and thankful. Pictures soon!! (I promise)

Our turtle can eat goldfish. Real goldfish. We haven't tried it yet but today a student brought me a little bag of goldfish crackers for the turtle.

We have these play barn and zoo animals in our classroom. The other day I over heard some kids playing with the ducks and saying, "Aflac! Aflac!"
