Today was my day off since Saturday. My feet are super thankful! Lemme tell you...trying to find heels that are cute and comfortable at the same time are practically impossible to find. I have all these cute shoes but the comfort factor is just not there. I'm gonna have to start bringing two pairs of shoes to work so I can wear the uncomfortable ones for a few hours and then switch to the comfy ones.
Anna left for her leadership training yesterday morning. It's nice to have the room to myself since it's a little crowded with the 2 of us sharing a small room, but it's weird not having her here. Living here really hasn't sunk in yet. I still feel like I'm on an extended vacation. You know how you never really know what day it is when you're on vacation? That's how I feel. I never really know the date and always have to check the calendar. It's weird.
We found a place to live! Right now I'm still staying in a townhouse with Anna's 2 housemates (JoHanna and Tabea). Both girls are very sweet. Tabea is from Germany and has such a loving spirit. I'm going to miss both of them. The 2 bedroom townhouse we found is 2 stories and is located in Charlotte, about 10 minutes from where I work. Right now it takes me about 40 min. to get to work so the move will be a huge blessing for saving on gas! Anna has already talked to the realitor and the owners of the townhouse. We've told them we want it so now they're just doing a credit check and preparing a contract. I'm really looking forward to moving into a place I can call home. We plan on moving in around the 2nd week of November when Anna gets back from her leadership conference. It'll be nice to have all my things again. The townhouse is located in a quiet neighborhood complex where all the road names have to do with Christmas! Some of the names are Sleighbell Lane and Reindeer Road. Our road name will be Frosty Lane -- how cute is that?! We were laughing because my sister LOVES snow and Charlotte rarely ever gets a lot of it so the road name is perfect for her. :) Each bedroom is a master suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet. Downstairs there is a fireplace and hardwood floors. We've really been praying for the perfect place and I know this is it. The monthly rent is lower than what is listed on the website so it is within our budget. The Lord's hand has been on everything that's happened here. Finding a job and a house so quickly...I just can't thank Him enough for his faithfulness. I included the website to the townhouse ad if you guys are interested in seeing pictures of the house.

I also found a church home! It's called Concord First Assembly and has about 1000 members. I'm going to their singles night group Thursday evening. I'm really looking forward to meeting some people my own age. I need some friends down here! Robyn was telling me about the Nazarene church some of you are going to. That's great! I'm happy you found a church home to go to.
Well, I hope you guys are doing okay. Keep in touch when you can!
BIG hugs,
