Our First Home

On September 12, 2009, we made a move into our first real home. We had been planning the move for a while, and were waiting to sell our business before we finally moved. However, we decided that we needed Jonah to be as comfortable as possible in the last weeks of her pregnancy. So, we moved, and have been loving it since. We found this little home for rent in Gerona, Jonah's hometown. The owner is the same owner of the missionaries' apartment here in Gerona, and she remembered me from when I was here. It was easy to talk her into reserving it for us until we were able to make the move. On our first night the house was fairly bare, until little by little we were able to get enough furnishings to make it look like someone is living here.

This first shot is from the gate looking at the front of the house.

The next shot is along the right side (if you're facing the house from the street), it's what they call a 'dirty kitchen'. Basically it is a sink and counter outside the house.

This is our living room. We don't have a TV, but we use my laptop to keep us entertained.

This little gem we found for great price. It makes a wonderful relaxing chair.

Here is a view into one of the bedrooms. As you can see, it isn't very big, but is nice and cozy.

This is a view from the living room looking into the kitchen, not the dirty one.

Oh wait, it kind of is dirty in this picture...

This is our cute little bathroom, complete with toilet and shower.

Here is our bedroom. This bed is another one of those things that have helped us immensely.

This is our shelf space that, as you see, we have made good use of.

And thus ends the tour of our first home. We absolutely love it here, and are excited for the addition to our little family to make this even more of a home.
