For our first blog post, we have a big announcement...We made it to Pittsburgh! We have been here a total of 5 very long days. Our car is unpacked and we are busy meeting new people and getting to know everyone. Moving 1,200 miles has turned out to be quite exhausting, in a whole lot of ways. Mainly, we miss everyone back home (and I miss the Tex-Mex options). The stress of moving is beginning to wane, and we could not be happier about this.
For those of you who don't know, I am working at Starbucks in Oakland (the University district of Pittsburgh). It is one of the busiest in the city and I can take a quick 15 minute bus ride from our block to work. Public transportation is great here. Jenn is working for Americorps. After interviews at several locations, she has been asked to work at a charter school named Propel Homestead on the South side of the city. This is exactly what she wanted because she can continue to work in the classroom with students. Praise God for awesome provision! We have so much to share, but for now we will leave you with some pictures.

| This is our apartment complex. A big. pink. house. That is our window on the second floor, left. The neighborhood is beautiful, driving around you can't really tell you are in the middle of a city. The trees here are huge and Jenn is very happy to have shade. OH, and our high today was 74 degrees. Did everyone in Dallas read that? 74 DEGREES! It's like the whole outside is air conditioned. We are working on getting accustomed to our new home and are thankful for our new friends here. We miss everyone in Dallas, keep in touch!!! More to come. |
