Bourbonnais, IL

So we have been here just over a month now and we still aren't completely unpacked. With Jonas and Lucy running around making messes it has taken double time to get much done. Still, there are so many things I am thankful for. God has brought us to this place at this time for a reason. We sacrificed some things we enjoyed before (like our own yard), but the good outweighs the bad in the earthly sense. 

One of the things I love is to sit on the balcony for about 10 minutes everyday during the kids naptime. It is my "me" time. I am doing that now actually, although sometimes I just sit and stare until my brain comes back to me. ;)

Remodeling a home all at once takes time. Especially going from a 2000 square foot house to a 1000 square foot apartment. I will post pictures of our finished rooms soon. 

I have some pictures below of Jonas and Lucy in their big kid bunk bed for the first time. Also, a picture of our retro orange juicer I picked up at a junk store! Works like a charm! Part of Jon's paycheck is that his meals are paid for. We each take an orange at meal time and once we have enough we have fresh squeezed OJ at breakfast! Yum! God is good.
