Habitations

For the first 6 weeks of living in Carbondale we were completely blessed to live in the basement of Clete and Poppy's house.  Yes, it was definitely cramped, but we made it work!

Having closet space made all the difference.  I hate having clothes piled in suitcases and bags.

 Most of our stuff stayed in boxes, it was so hard not to break in and get stuff out!

Well the 6 weeks came to an end and the time to move into the new place finally happened!!!  It was harder to wait for this than it is to wait for Christmas.

Here is the front of the house.  I absolutely adore the tree in the front yard and the brick.  The house is on W. College Street, which is a dead end street tucked away in the family residential part of town.  It is  away from where most of the college student lives, but it is literally less than a mile away from campus. Chris has been able to walk to work every day and we are loving the short transportation time.

We are so incredibly excited and feel beyond blessed to have found the perfect place for us.  It is just the right size, in a quite and safe neighborhood, and it is close to campus and my work.  Let the projects begin!
