Jeanesse moved out of her apartment Sunday and into the house of a missionary couple where she’ll be for six months while they’re wrapping up their stint in Bangladesh. She would write this herself, but she’s temporarily without Internet in her new place. We are indebted to the help of Mike and Gail, Caitlyn, Russell, Mitchell, and Ben for their help loading and unloading the truck. With their help, we packed out the apartment in about four hours and unloaded it in less than one!

Although it’s a longer commute to work for her, she inherits a great backyard with a huge deck, hot tub, and garden. After unpacking most of the kitchen, we decided to take a celebratory dip in the hot tub. She was pretty cute, worrying about getting her ring in the brominated water. I insisted that it was alright (I’ve never heard of this being a problem before) but she didn’t want to do anything that might degrade its luster. Eventually she closed her eyes tight and pushed her hand in the water. It was really cute, and I respect her for wanting to keep that ring shining bright!

I was frequently reminded of our moving experience today with every heavy roll of drawings that passed by my desk.
