Settling In

Almost 3 weeks. That's how long I've been at/in my new home. :)

Funny... the reason I have to say 'at' as well as 'in' (for those who are not familiar with Oak Hill) is because I now live at/in a rather unique place. :) I can say that I live 'at' Oak Hill, which is a campus made up of 7 buildings off the beaten path on the east side of Oklahoma City. There are several others who also live here including singles and families. I also can say that I live 'in' a cosy room with an attached full bath and a laundry room just outside. My current roommate and I have bunk beds, a small fridge, microwave and even an old yet comfy sofa couch. So now you see... I live both 'at' and 'in' my current residence. Which by the way is slowly being transformed into a Missionary Care Center!

I have great plans for my transition into my new home. While I only brought the essentials from Indiana, there will be time to enjoy the summer before fully completing my 'move in'. For when the weather turns cold, I will be needing my winter weather gear! Oklahoma winters will be NOTHING like Indiana winters, but none-the-less, I will need my boots, coat, hat and scarves. And they will eventually make their way across the States and find a home somewhere in my new room. There is yet another item that will make my move-in complete and I am GREATLY looking forward to it's addition!

That item or individual will be my new furry, four legged, cold wet nosed, playful, occasionally slobbery, but certainly loving and affectionate golden retriever puppy! Whom I plan to find later this summer. :)

Then my life will be complete! (no not really, but it will certainly be more interesting).
And until then, I will be dreaming and thinking about when my new furry friend will come to join me 'at' and 'in' my new home.
