Welcome to our apartment! Our apartment is on the second floor. Our window is the middle one directly to the left of the stairwell. Last night we completed our last move-in project and hung up all our pictures. Here’s some pictures of the rooms in our apartment. (Click on each picture for additional information on each room.)
What does one do with old t-shirts, a blue sharpie, Elmer’s glue, scissors, and the Dallas Cowboys logos?
Chick-fil-A is introducing new bigger, tastier, dippier Chick-n-Strips and sauce – and you can try them for free. This Labor Day, from 10:30 a.m. to close, wear any football team logo into any Chick-fil-A location for a free three-count of Chick-n-Strips. Unfortunately, we don’t own anything with football logos. But thanks to the ideas of Deb, this morning after I made our own Dallas Cowboys t-shirts, we went to Chick-fil-A and enjoyed two servings of their Chick-n-Strips.
On Tuesday, August 12th, we left Greenville, South Carolina and started our journey to Arlington, Texas. We arrived in Arlington on Wednesday the 13th and began moving into our apartment the next afternoon.
Dad and Mom Jensen were a huge help during our move. We couldn’t have done it without them! Thanks, Dad and Mom!
(Since we don’t have any photos of all four of us from during the move, here’s one — on the left — from a hike we took in the Pisgah National Forest a few days before we drove to Texas. That’s another story, one that involves 6 miles of walking for a very good lunch on top of a mountain.)
Craigslist is a wonderful resource! Within two days of moving into our new apartment, we bought an entire bedroom set from two different posts on Craigslist. We were really excited to find such nice matching furniture for a reasonable price!
For the past several months, we’ve been praying for UTA campus housing, but as Josh’s semester approached, the Lord did not see fit to make an on-campus apartment available to us. So we found another apartment 10 minutes away from campus and left for Texas on Tuesday, August 12th. Upon arriving in Arlington Wednesday night, we found out that we would not be able to move into our apartment until 4PM the next day. While we waited on Thursday, we were contacted by The University of Texas at Arlington and told that someone had canceled his housing reservation and that there was a campus apartment available for us to move into – not in 30 days – but that very same day!!!! We were amazed to see how the Lord worked every detail so perfectly and we continue to praise Him for our on-campus apartment.
