Surprises, Surprises...

For those of you who don't know, before coming back to the U.S. we had packed up all of our belongings and put them into a storage unit here on center because - 1. We wanted to save money by not having to pay rent during our time away and 2. So when we got back we could move into an apartment of sorts that is newer and smaller than our old place but where we'll have neighbors so that when Aaron has to travel, security won't be as big of a concern for Kara.   

SO... despite being anxious to get back simply so we could have our feet planted on soil after a long trip, we also knew that we'd have a LOT of work to do hauling and unpacking once we got to our new home.

We got the key to our apartment and opened the door to find the place not only unpacked and set up but PLASTERED in sticky notes!?  Surprise!

 

Some friends from our Bible study had gotten the key for our storage unit and our house and moved us in.  Then, just to make their evening more fun and interesting, they decided that it would be funny to label EVERYTHING (and I mean everything!) either with simply the name or description of the item or otherwise something humerous.  I think they even are holding a contest to see who could find the best hiding place for a sticky note - aka - whichever one we find 'last'.

 

Unfortunately, they are so good at their 'game' that I don't think the winner will be known for months or years to come as we keep finding more and more with each passing day.  At least we know we're loved, right?  :)
