House Tour

After we got settled in to our house we were able to finish up the inside. So, here is the finished product... minus Elijah's room and our shower because I couldn't find any pictures of those!

Back from "the bush"

Well, we have returned to civilization. There are too many pictures for one post so I'll try to spread them out and update you over a couple posts.
We moved up to Jungle Camp on June 13th. We had from Midnight until 5:00 to get everything up there. David took up 15 trips of stuff, I took up 7, and a classmate helped with 3! Needless to say, we were very glad to be done!
The staff provided dinner for us the first night so we didn't have to worry about cooking and could focus on settling in. It was so good to finally be up there. However, that night we already began to realize things that we would have done differently, like make our shelves more sturdy. I started putting all of our canned meats and peaches onto the shelf I designed just for that. I was working in a different room and I heard a crash. Our shelf had fallen breaking 6 or our jars and leaving us with a huge mess. Finally after cleaning up the mess, we headed to our Jungle Camp bed, hoping it would not break too!

Elijah's room where we dropped off all our stuff


We were VERY happy when he offered to help!


Our canned peaches on the "floor" :(


We are now on summer break traveling around the states to visit with family and friends, look forward to see you all this summer!

BUILDING DAY 11

Today was our final day to build before moving in. Our house is not completely finished yet, but definately at a point where we can move in (good thing too since we don't have a choice). The outside plastic and the inner walls are all stapled in place. David also finished up working on our door. So, our house is pretty much closed in now and hopefully will do a good job keeping critters out! Tomorrow, we move in. We have to carry all our belongings up on foot. This is a day we have been dreading, hopefully it's not as bad as we think. We can spend the first few days finishing up our houses with anything else we want to add. We'll be up there for 4 weeks learning how to live in a place without modern conviniences, fellowshipping with our classmates, and we'll also have some extra work we need to do that will be similar to what it would be like learning a language. We will have no internet, so our only way to communicate is through good ol' snail mail!
