Pictureless posts...

Today as I was trying to upload some pictures for the latest blog entry...Blogger had informed me that I used up my giga-bytes or something, and that I would have to purchase more if I wanted to be able to post pictures...well, until Brad figures out how to do that, I'll be doing pictureless posts for awhile. (which aren't near as fun in my opinion)
So a little update about our weekend...

Saturday Tabea offered to watch our children for the entire day...yes, the entire day while we went off the IKEA to look for furniture for our new apartment that we DON"T have yet. Didn't stop us from picking out beds, a couch for our (one day) new living room and even some things for the kitchen. We thought that if we go and pick everything out, then ONCE we DO have a new address, then life will be much easier! Hopefully we will hear something back from our realtor the beginning of this week.

On Sat. eve we had a lovely homecooked meal at Judy and Ron Avery's house.(Brian and Wesley Wilcox's aunt and uncle) They are Americans who have lived in Vienna for many years and serve at VCS. Great to have some sweet fellowship and great food...especially without the kiddos!

Today we started the day off with pancakes thanks to Tabea and Daniel! They went to the Hofer (a local grocery store here) and picked up some "All-American" brand pancake mix, syrup, blueberry muffin mix, marshmallows, jellybeans, bagels, a small package of Oreos and the biggest hamburger buns I have ever seen! All to celebrate the 4th of July. These products aren't always available, just the beginning part of July. It was so sweet of them and the pancakes were D-lish!
We worshiped at CIG and then Brad took the kids to a park so I could clean the apartment and have some quiet time. It was a pretty normal weekend...still just trying to get settled.

Hey,

That grocery store is Aldi which are in the States! There aren't too many around, but I know where one is...

Shopping at IKEA without kids sounds fun! Now you can say Brad took you on a date to IKEA. How many people could say that?

I'll be looking forward to hearing about the apartment acquisition in the next couple of days.

Til then, we'll be praying...

Now I've figured out how Blogger makes money! We have Aldi by my house in GA. Looking forward to hearing about the apt.

I can say that! Mark and I have been to IKEA on a date, and many, many times with kids. I love IKEA, and I think there is at least three things from IKEA in every room of my house. If you saw the pictures of my new kitchen, you were looking at IKEA cabinets.

And Stacey, pictureless posts may not be fun, but I'm glad you're still posting.

I of course love seeing your faces in pictures, but I love reading more about what you are doing. Seriously, can we have a phone "date" soon??? "PEAS" as Bennett says!
