Kristi~Join me as we take a short tour through our prospective apartment at NTBI!
Our apartment is kind of like a shoebox… there is no hall, just doorways through rooms that lead to other rooms. It goes like this, the living room leads to our room, our room leads to the kid's room, and their room leads to the kitchen/dining area. It'll be like Tetris trying to fit our family of 4 into 600 sq ft!
Here we have our kitchen...small and quaint. You may notice something missing, yes, the kitchen has everything BUT the kitchen sink! No worries… The Day family has skills that you’ve never seen before. We can ADAPT! There is a community sink right across the hall from our apartment, as well as a shower room (single occupancy only…) and a restroom. We look forward to spending time together here in our kitchen enjoying cozy meals together.
Next, we have two little bedrooms. Our room will be mostly bed, although we figured we can fit our dressers from home too. My dresser has a big mirror so that will be our “getting ready in the morning” spot. The kids will be getting bunk beds, and we are still in the process of figuring out creative storage for toys.
Here's two views of our living room… Now we can stretch out a bit. This area will hold our bookshelf, couch, ottoman, rocking chair, end tables with lamps, TV, and computer desk. Many an hour will be spent studying here, and hopefully we'll enjoy a few family movie nights as well!
This amazing shot was taken from the living room window. What the apartment lacks in space we make up for with a great view. The city of Waukesha is beautiful, with 100 year old buildings and churches scattered among 1950's era cottage style homes. There's lots of grass and beautiful trees that are already turning every shade of Autumn. I suppose lots of cities have green grass and trees, but after living in the desert for 9 years, the foliage was a refreshing sight.
Well, there you have it, short and sweet! We know there will be an adjustment to living here, but we are also so excited to be where God wants us for now. We have a place to call 'home' and we will be together. We are so blessed.
