We are FINALLY here!!!!

After over two months of transition, we have arrived in Pasadena. We got here on Sunday afternoon and spent the rest of the day just enjoying not being in the car! We explored downtown Pasadena a bit and slept FINALLY in our own bed which was wonderful. 

Monday was spent grocery shopping ... pretty much all day. Tuesday was spent with runs to Ikea and Target. And today we're staying home and getting some stuff unpacked and arranged. 

I popped into the Brehm Center on Monday, which is the worship and the arts center at Fuller that hosts my degree program. Since we're here so early there's not much going on so I've gotten to spend a couple hours with the director of the center getting to know him as well as a couple of my professors. I also have officially entered my new program, the MA in Worship and Music Ministry (this required an audition and a music theory test). That is a relief to have over with. 

So far we are really liking Pasadena. It is gorgeous and the weather is pretty unbeatable. Our apartment is SO CUTE. Matt and his mom did a fabulous job painting, arranging and unpacking. Once we have a kitchen table and everything else set up I'll post some pictures. We're about two blocks from the main downtown drag which means we can pretty much walk to everything. And it's very dog friendly! All the restaurants have outside seating areas which means Henry can come with us most anywhere (which I love). Henry is okay ... a little out of sorts still but seems to get a little better every day. 

I'll post pictures soon, but I just wanted to update and let you all know that we made it safely!
