There was the first time (of many) when we tried to change a lightbulb and discovered that because of poor materials used in building the apt, it wasn't just a simple act of unscrewing and screwing in. Let's just say that we've had more than one light fixture come completely off with the lightbulb, and definitely more than one lightbulb get stuck in the fixture.
There were the wars we had with the hot water heater, which finally gave out one night. We were simply sitting in the living room when we heard a click and a gush of water come from the device. Even after we super glued the places where it was leaking, we finally had to admit defeat, leading to...
Our shower. Here is a picture of our shower:
As much as this apartment gave me countless headaches and roused feelings in me that I didn't know I could have against four walls, we do appreciate the times we had together there. It's where we spent our first Christmas as a married couple, where we found out that we were pregnant for the first time, where we came home together after frustrating times at work, and where we spent our first term in U-city.
On June 30th, we also landed in San Francisco, our new home for the next four months. As I reflect on the last 10 months, it was certainly a difficult journey, but one that allowed us to be who we are today. I'm thankful for that. The next time we move, we'll have a little one with us, and I'm sure we would've grown much and much to look back on. Praise the Lord for much grace along this journey!
