Home~Sweet~Home

So, today marks the 1 month anniversary of Hud and me moving into our apartment and it's finally starting to feel like home!! I finally got the furniture the way I wanted it and decorated a little, which has literally taken me this whole month but when I walk in the door now, it definitely feels homey. 


Over the past 5 years I've been back-in-forth living in Mars Hill, Gastonia, and Columbia, SC and the only other place that feels like home to me is G-town (my hometown). After living in Blacksburg for a month, I feel like we're starting to get plugged in and it excites me to know that we'll be here for a few years. We recently found a wonderful church "Northstar" and have gotten plugged in...we're starting a newlyweds bible study group wed...and have already become involved with some volunteer opportunities. We're both very excited to see what God has in store and can't wait to start building relationships with some new friends!


On another note...Bammer (a.k.a. Doodie Sir licks-a-lot "this is the name Hud gave him...haha"), our 5 month old puppy, is also feeling more at home I think. I found this really awesome dog park here in Blacksburg and try to take him whenever we have free time. It's pretty funny watching all these dogs run around and play with each other...I imagine it's similar to watching your kid at the playground or something. He has so much energy that even if we take him on a run with us he's still bouncing off the walls, so the dog park has become a weekly ritual. 


After being here for only a month already, I'm thrilled that it's starting to feel like home and  have some more projects on the rise to make our apartment even more cozy. If I ever get around to doing them i'll post em on here...!
