Little "Apartment" on the Prairie

Welcome to our new home in Nebraska. Our apartment isn't entirely unpacked yet and definitely not decorated... so here's some pics of the outside that I thought you all might enjoy. Our apartment complex is on the 'outskirts' of the 'city,' so we have a lot of nature to look at... one of the main attractions of this place.

Here's Christian on our patio, watching Will play.

Here they are running together. Will LOVES the outdoors.


Here's the view to the LEFT...


and to the RIGHT...

and straight on from our patio door...
(yes, that's a corn field back there :) ...
and that's a meadow/ rivery thing -when it rains a lot- in front of it.
we're up hill from it, so no worries about floods.)

AND... since I took those photos, some sunflowers popped up!




Oh, and this is the view from the 'study.'
Oh, yes, we have a 3rd bedroom in this place!!

So, all in all, we are settling in well enough. Christian and I have been contending with some allergies and Will took a little time to feel adjusted at first, but we are really enjoying the view, our surroundings, and feeling like we're out in a new 'frontier,' if you will. It's also been wonderful to have this month 'off' before I begin internship. We've been cooking some cool new stir-fries together, taking Will to the park most days, and just plain relaxing... it's great. So... although the new culture down here may take a bit to get used to, I think it will be a fun adventure.

Oh, and I forgot that we've realized that in living in NE we have fallen DRASTICALLY behind in all the Husker trivia and, well, knowledge in general. My father kindly bought us a NE Huskers history book, so hopefully we can pass off as good enough fans. :) (ps the very small mall here had at least 3 Huskers apparel stores in it...)
