We're all moved in!


Welcome to our new home!
#324!


The Walkway up, we also have a basement,
but right now with no snow we are entering this way!

This is one half of the living room. Notice our new television.
We have to be able to see the Dawgs... Good reason, right?! :)

This is the other half of our living room. We love the size of this house! It's so much better than the apartment. So much more room to walk!!

Bedroom View One


Bedroom View Two

Our Dining Room

Much More Room in the Kitchen!

Our Bathroom

And Thomas' Office...



Once the rain stops, we plan on driving around Owatonna and getting some pictures of the history. Federated is well known here and most people tell us we are in a great business now. But of course we already knew that!


We live in Federated housing, so there are about 14 units on this street. We've been told it is called "Fed Road." The company does 3 different training courses throughout the year: February, June, and October. We met some people from the February class who will be finishing up at the end of October. We also met some people who are from the June class, who will be here until March with us. The people who share a duplex with us are here until March. They are from Texas and are a very precious family, with a two year old little girl. We also met another person from Flowery Branch, Georiga! And we've met a couple from Mississippi! Both of these people are through at the end of October, so they will be leaving soon, but still... Southern Folks! And I am sure that more will come as the October Class starts getting closer and closer!


After we took my mom and sister to the airport, Thomas and I ventured over to the Mall of America, which is HUGE and AMAZING...We didn't even hit all three floors, and did not go all around! It is really a neat place, but after 3 hours there, we were done and had to get home! I was told by the Best Buy associate that I was a true Southern Belle and that I shouldn't lose my accent! Good!! I don't want to talk like these people! Haha! Too proper and slow!! Haha!! I haven't met a person that hasn't been exceptionally nice, so don't believe the rumors about all northern folks! :)


Well that's enough for now. We love it here and we will continue to welcome all prayers sent up for us. Thomas will start in about 3 weeks with Federated, so we've got some time to settle in and get used to Minnesota...and prepare ourselves for Winter. We miss everyone, so that just means, you need a webcam, email, a phone, or facebook...so we can stay in touch!!
Love to all 1200 miles away!!
