New House Pictures :)

Long story short, the move went well, we're in our new house! Below is a link to pictures, both before and after the move:

A little new home owner drama: within the first week, our leaky sink refused to be fixed, and our dishwasher decided to break at the same time. So now not only did I not have a dishwasher, I had no sink to even hand wash dishes in! It was a pretty interesting couple of days before the plumber fixed the sink and I could at least do dishes that way. But now, we have a new dishwasher as well (and were able to take advantage of the Iowa new appliance rebate program, despite spending the entire day on the phone listening to busy signals). The snow has now melted, I've taken advantage of our neighborhood park walking trails, and I finally got a look at my backyard (pictures will have to come later).

Anyway, other updates - subbing is going well, though spring break the last two weeks (one for one district, another for the others) has kinda put a damper on job availability, and being sick this week hasn't helped any either. Job outlook is questionable, with all of the budget cuts, but we keep praying something will open up.

That's about it for now, not too exciting. I hope everyone has a blessed remainder of Lent, and I look forward to discussing the upcoming Feast of Feasts: the Pascha of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ!
