Kitchen

Here is our lovely, but little kitchen. We are now decorating it with a strawberry theme... "Oh wie süss ist daß denn!" :)

Bathroom

I'm sure you are really wanting to know what our bathroom looks like...

Hallway

Here is our lovely hallway and front door.

Our Apartment

I have been intending to post pictures of our first apartment! It is small, but good for us.

Here, you can see our living room. I have to admit that the apartment has come a long way since I moved in... No offense, Clint. :) Anyone who knows Clint understands what I'm saying. He's a sweet, sweet husband... however, we have completely different opinions about what is organized/clean. :) However, he has been incredibly understanding to my ideas and has helped me clean and organize. What a great husband!

The empty cabinet that you see is being saved for our set of pottery that we are hoping to buy in Poland soon. We are using some of the money we were given as wedding gifts to buy a complete set of Polish pottery in a design that we really like.

Here you can see our lovely windows (before curtains were installed). These windows really have been a form of entertainment for us because we can watch all the people over at the Mini Mal across the street. A lot of times there are big groups of teenagers hanging out there. Sometimes they can be loud and annoying but thankfully we haven't seen them as often lately.

Work on the Church Building

This fall several of the men (and some of the women) have helped do some work on the church building. The main reason it began was because there was a leak in the roof and a stain was discovered on the carpet inside. After checking out the damage it was determined that there must be a new roof installed. Larry, Ed, Clint, and several other people worked hard day after day to get the new roof put on. I even tried to help out one day picking up all the old shingles and throwing them in a big trash dumpster and Courtney and Conny helped out doing the same type of work. While the scaffolding was still up around the church, it was a good opportunity to repaint the outside. Many helped in this area and the result was very nice! Here are the pictures of the work up until now. I believe there are still windows to be painted and installed, which Clint is working on now. I think eventually we will also paint the other building to match as well.
