Move In Day

Its been more then two months since I can walk though a door and call it my home. From moving out of my apartment at Trinity, into the house in Walnut grove, to briefly moving into my parents house in Edmonds, to arriving in Japan and dropping my bags in a temporary apartment, then going up to Takanosu for a week, I finally am settled in my apartment where I’ll be living this next year!

This past Saturday I came back from Takanosu, and with some help from people in the church, all of my stuff, along with all of the English class stuff were put in my new apartment. I won’t go into much detail about how the apartment looks because it would be easier to look at pictures. The good news is that it feels bigger then I was originally anticipating. It has a high ceiling because I get a little loft, which is awesome because I can store lots of stuff up there and keep most of my floor space open. My kitchen comes with one gas burner, a fridge, microwave, and a little toaster oven. I also get a washing machine, as well as a toilet closet and a shower. So, it pretty much anything a young single guy needs. The place is pretty much like a small studio apartment, but like I said, its great to have a place to call home.

Its about a 30 second walk away from where I’ll be working, so an easy commute. Its also right on the edge of a valley where a riving runs through, so when I walk out my door, I’m refreshed by the rich green vegetation and the sound of the river.
