I am so glad that the wedding is over. Seriously that was one of the most stressful things that I have ever done and I guess now that it is over I am much more happier! I enjoyed the day, (the beginning of the ceremony I was feeling extremelely nervous) but it got easier and easier after that. Maybe that is why I don't mind being here, because it is such a relief after planning for that day for so long! (Well it seemed like a long time!)
This past weekend we rented a truck and spent all day saturday furniture shopping at the most amazing furniture store ever. Nebraska Furniture is just phenomenal! Very cheap prices for things that are cheap and then they also have some really nice stuff as well that is priced appropriately. The store is honestly twice the size of Ikea easily. They have really nice stuff for interior decorating as well. Steven and I picked out a small kitchen table and 4 chair set, a computer desk, a dresser with a mirror, and a toaster! One of Steven's coworkers, Tim, agreed to help us move this stuff up the three flights of stairs to our floor. Another one of Steven's coworkers, Eric, gave us a couch so we moved it on saturday as well to our apartment with Tim's help again. (I totally could not have moved the dresser or the computer desk up all those stairs! So I am really thankful that he did this for us.) Right now our apartment is coming out of dissarray from the do it yourself assembly that took place all day yesterday by mostly Steven. The only thing we did not complete was putting the mirror on the dresser - definitly not as big of a priority as the kitchen table and chairs! We went to "Lowes" which is set up very similar to Home Depot, and we bought some hampers (thank you Joni!)...no dryer balls yet, some appliances, (electric frying pan, waffle maker, blender, sorry christine, no sandwich maker yet!) and some basic cleaning and organizational supplies. We needed two carts in the store and it was nice that we could make use of our truck again! We plan on buying a vehicle hopefully in the next two weeks. Things are coming together and having my own place with my own stuff feels wonderful!
Easter was nice, we went to the Good Friday Service at the "Revolution" church and it was nice, and the Easter morning Service on Sunday went really nice as well. We signed ourselves up for a small group on tuesday nights so hopefully that works out well. The church had hidden 99 Easter eggs around the sanctuary and the kids had to find them during the greeting, it was pretty funny.
Today I have to return the truck :( and do laundry using our new laundry baskets! Thanks again Joni!
p.s. I bought the nicest shower curtain! Makes this place look like a classy establishment!
p.p.s. Can you tell I am sooooo pumped about all the new stuff I just bought! And there is still so much more stuff that we need still! Shopping is sooooo much fun when you have money to spend and things you need!

Hi Jess - I'm so glad that you got some furniture & are getting set up at your house! Sounds like church went well for you. Friday evening Cherie's mom commented on how sad & stark your apt looked as she had seen the pics on FB, & yesterday morning at church Jana came up & 'hugged' me and Steve's mom to comfort us, as our chicks have flown south. Oma was thinking about Steven having to work still on Good Friday & not even having a short work week. So lots of people are thinking & praying for you guys . . . I can hardly wait to call you & maybe see some pictures posted on what your apt looks like with furniture :) Sounds like you & Steve are having fun and at the same time accomplishing alot! Love you,
Mum
Hi Jess, Sounds like you are enjoying yourselves. It is probably pretty exciting with so many new things happening all at once. I am glad you have some aquaintances to give you some help from time to time. Did you meet anyone at church? We keep hearing about the flooding in the midwest. Is that anywhere near you? I have looked into flights in june. Is there a time that works for you & Steve? Whats happening with the wedding photos? Lots of questions, hope to hear from you guys soon.
Love, Dad
Wedding photos are coming as far as I know, we did meet someone at church and hope to go to some type of small group tonight if possible. Someone needs to pick us up though. June works perfectly for Steven and I....just do what works for you. No flooding here, although we live on the third floor of an apartment building, so even if there was we wouldn't be immidiately affected by it.
