Turning over a new leaf...

Well, since being married Bradford and I have lived in 4 different houses, two different states, and many different people. Most recently Bradford's sister Maygan and her husband Shane lived with us from January to May and when they left in May we decided it was time to move on and be on our own since we spent the first year of our marriage living with others. We found a small little duplex that became available. After discussing the pro's and con's of moving we decided that it was going to be a good move. YAY! Our own place that is only big enough for the both of us!!! Some of the things that helped us make our decision were the fact it was within walking distance of the college which makes me happy :), it has a yard for our "beast" (who can now jump four foot fences to run the neighborhood or straight into our landlords yard), and it was cheaper than the rent we were paying. We love our little place and took some pictures of the first couple of days in it! We so far have re-painted the bedroom, kitchen, cupboards, and bathroom and it's starting to shape up. Now I just need to quit being a bum and make some curtains!


Our living room (like I said, everything is in order now, this was like the second day of moving in)

The kitchen

The bedroom (and Bradford painting because I HATE painting!)

The home!!!

MISSION CALL!!!!!!!!

So, Derek (or should I say Elder Brown) got his mission call!!! He recieved it June 5th and is scheduled to report to the MTC on August 5th 2009. He has been called to the......Virgina, Richmond Mission!!!!!! YAY!!! His mission doesn't cover all of Virginia but it goes into a bit of Maryland and North Carolina. I am so excited for him and know that him going there has a higher purpose that none of us know of yet. He will touch many lives serving the Lord out there and spreading the Gospel. He is setting such a good example and I couldn't be a more proud sister!!! YAY FOR DEREK!!!
