Walking among Boxes

"Happy Moving Day!"

One of my sweet roommates was greeting us on Friday morning - yep, we moved last Friday!

"But wait," says you, O Faithful Reader, "last post we were waiting on some apartment business and isn't that flight to China coming up soon?" Yes and yes! Closed on the apartment (miracle timing!) June 18. Moved to new place June 19. Off to China June 21, tonight!

Dear friends were an enormous help as we had a packing party, a "pre-move in" cleaning party and post-move unpacking party.

Settling in to the new place has been great and there are a dozen little details we're learning about. The best moment so far: on Saturday night we did the first load of laundry!! Long-time NYC dwellers, this is a novelty none of us has ever had in an apartment. We pulled together a full load, did not need quarters to start the thing, put in the soap and all crowded around to watch it start.

At each step, spin cycle and all, I'm reminded that God's blessings are unparalleled and far better than I can imagine.
