After a loooong search for a home, we have finally found it, and we are SO EXCITED! I can’t help but look at the hard wood floors and crown molding and think, “God, you know my wife so well.” And I get a fully finished basement to set up my office! We’re so thankful for the way He takes care of us. And thank you mom and dad for letting us take over your house in our transition time!
Saying goodbye to Ann Arbor was pretty tough though. I still feel a tinge of nostalgia every time I drive by the exit to our very first apartment. That little one-bedroom home by UofM’s North Campus has some of our favorite memories in it. Late night movies, eggs and toast for dinner, working in the living room, hosting “The Office” nights when everyone sat on the floor since our couch is teeny, our hand-me-down couch that immediately received a slip cover since it was disgusting, being the only people within a mile who’s first language is english (no idea why), taking the bus or riding my bike to class so Jordin could take the car, Jordin’s daily HOUR commute, all-nighters in the computer lab when Jordin would drive me over a 2am snack, all-nighters in the computer lab when Jordin would stay with me the WHOLE NIGHT… man, my wife’s good. :) Our first year of marriage was so fun. We made sure to get in one last visit to our favorite Ann Arbor restaurant, Potbelly, where we used stacks of napkins for our camera tripod. Some of our last Ann Arbor memories:
