wherefore art thou Blog?
i would just like to reinstate the purpose of this blog. It was birthed from a necessity to know whats going on in the progress of our train station. Recently it has turned into a rare post of hi-s and how-are-you-s which is fine, except for the fact that we dont know whats going on :P Although most of the train station appears complete, some expectations were not met, and those delays were not posted. It was an error easily made, and unfortunately i have suffered the consequences because of a simple lack of notification. Please lets keep this an updated place of the state our apartments are in, what furniture we have come across and how we are in our spiritual life! on that note... does anyone know someone with a truck that can assist me next weekend?
Furniture update:
This is the wardrobe that i believe we can put the TV in (picture it without the stuff on it :P)
DO WE HAVE A TABLE? my aunt is getting rid of a round 4ft table (4 seater) do we have a table and or is this one too small? let me know asap.
Salt, Sugar, Flower, Oatmeal containers:
the TV:
corner deco?:
couch: im not sure if this is up for grabs yet... keep your eyes open for another!
fake plant? im not to interested... how bout you?

DON'T BUY anything!!!
If you have access to something for free or cheap, then bring it...
If you do not want to bring your mattress from home or some of your furniture set, let me know so you can use what we already have! I am still looking out for good garage sale bargains. we still need bar stools for both apartments...
I will have an invoice for each of you after the first of July. I am going to cover the balance of July (due on the first) and then add that to what is already owed for the first month. thanks for your patience. it drives me crazy to be in debt. sorry for prolonging your debt...
Thanks Rae!! This was a great idea!!
arrgh... I forgot:
14) 1 microwave, 1 toaster, 1 coffee maker (for those who need it)
15) 1 small (3ft) refrigerator...
...and Lord willing... i think i am getting a real full size refrigerator that is not too old! (let you know soon)
...by our Lord's grace all of these thing have been free, except for the $80 i gave my sister for all of her furniture.
ahhh...now i can sleep.
oh, continue to pray for a solution to our upcoming parking fiasco.
...and a 4th guy.
16) one small indoor electric cooking grill (never used). expect salmon and steaks!

18) 1 box fan
19) was told i could have a neighbor's old vaccum...haven't seen what it looks like yet
20) a couple lamps for end tables that don't look too hideous...
3 words for you, Doug...
Holy frickin' crap.
You're amazing. I guess I just won't even bother bringing ANYTHING to the apartment, you already have it all...
AJ
<><
I have a ton of stuff too... but i was only listing the big items :P
21) enough silverware and serving utensils for both apartments
(sorry Rae, i did get kinda carried away...)
22) just received another microwave (it's an oldie but goodie)
I'd have to agree with my brother AJ here. "Holy frickin' crap!"
Doug i just want to thank you so much for all that you are doing. i believe that i speak for all of us in saying that i really appreaciate all that you are doing! you have been such a servant to the community, which is somthing that i really admire about you, and i am learning from. Thank you brother I love you.
Rae i want to thank you too! for taking the time to find stuff also, and letting us know about it and see it via picture ;) thank you also for confronting us about what this blog is about. it is really important for us to let everyone in the community know what is going on in our lives, especially since, for the most part, we are all split up. The Lord has been teaching me a lot about how important it is to keep digging deeper into our realationships with eachother this summer, and not just letting them go in hopes to pick them up again. Although we are apart for the summer we all really need to stay rooted in eachothers lives. so thanks for that reminder!
i love you all and hope we can continue to persue eachother this summer. i can see how much of a challage it may be, but i know that our bonds of unity and love will grow and be strenthened through this.
Again, I love you all! and i miss you all so much!
Love, Jessica
I agree with AJ and Jessica. Uh...I have a bunk bed if needed. And Two bookcases I could clear off and bring. And a stereo.
And a use mattress in good condition. Although my Dad mentioned maybe buying me a new one...which would mean I could provide two used (but in good condition) matresses.
