Coralville Lass!

After a few weeks' hiatus, I'm back!

A lot has been going on during this time. I guess I can start from when I first came here.

I made the move the same day we had church on October 19th. After the fellowship meal, my buddy Tim, who happened to also be a friend of the couple taking me in, took me and my stuff over to the Welchs' apartment. It was in the complex that another friend of mine, Travis, used to live. Anyway, I got settled in and the apartment was within walking distance where I work, so it worked out very well for the first two weeks.

Kristy and I found an apartment of our own at the Scotsdale Apartments on Sixth st. As soon as we signed the lease and paid the deposit and first month's rent, we were able to move in. My parents helped some and we had some help from the gang in the branch.

We finally have cable and Internet. The only drawback on the 'Net is that my laptop is tethered down by cables, but it's okay. I rarely ever take it anywhere anyway. We also have a sofa and recliner, given to us for free by a family back in Muscatine, the Reicherts.

All in all, I'm loving my new life here in Coralville. I can feel that my Father in Heaven loves me and is mindful of me. It was He who gave me that prompting all those weeks ago to drop out of the play so I could get my job and move up here. I also love my roommate, even when she teases me. I can tease her right back. It's great!

That said, I must away so I can get ready for church. Watch this blog for pics of the new pad, and of me in my Halloween costume for the contest at work.

Slan go foill...
