Apartment Continued

Here are some more pictures of the outside of the apartment and some updates from the last time we posted pictures. We had a blast picking which pictures from our trips around the world to frame and hanging them up. Down the hall we have 7 8X10 pictures of cathedrals in Nova Scotia, Ecuador, and Peru (see picture below). Our bedroom is going to have 8 4x6 and 5x7 pictures of my Grandma's cottage in Michigan. Another photo collage of scenery from our trips is also shown below. Tomorrow we get to fly to Seattle to see Keri's brother, sister-in-law, 2 1/2 year old nephew Nate, and 5 month old nephew Dexter whom we haven't even seen yet! We are so excited to get to spend some time with them all, having missed them at Christmas. We also get to spend a little bit of time with CJ's Grandparents and some extended family north of Seattle. Plus, we are flying direct flights for FREE (well, $5 each). God knew money would be tight around now and that we needed to see them all, so he had us get stuck in Ecuador for 30 hours on our way to Peru. Because of that whole fiasco, we got 20,000 frequent flyer miles each, more than enough to put us both over free tickets! Thanks, God! We'll take a day in Ecuador to get to go on this trip! Anyways, enjoy the pictures, and we will report on our trip with pictures when we get back.
