St. Louis MO to Waukesha WI

We left St. Louis Missouri at 7:30am on Saturday, January 2.  It was 7°F outside. When Jesse got into the car after our freezing photo shoot he said, "I think I like Springtime better." Classic!

We arrived in Waukesha Wisconsin at about 2:30pm. Everything in the PODS survived the journey. Not a single thing was broken. All of the canned good we had packed were frozen solid.

About a dozen people helped us unload the PODS and bring our things up to our apartment on the 2nd floor. It only took about an hour.

Nicole and Jesse are very excited about their room.  Nicole loves the bunk-bed. A new friend named Mark custom-made the guardrail at the top. The kids shared a room before we left so that they could get used to it. They have already made several friends and love the idea that they can walk down the hall to play with friends.

Two brown wooden wardrobes and a shower curtain for a door make the wall between the 2 bedrooms. We think it's going to work out just fine. We told the kids to knock on the wardrobe when they need us.

Here's a view from both ends of the great-room. During our family devotion time this morning we were  all overwhelmed at how God has given us peace, joy, and contentment about our new living situation. Humanly we would probably be complaining, but God has really helped us have His perspective with this one.

Thanks for all your prayers, love, help, support, and encouragement so far!

Grace and Peace,

Mike
