Flat 2: First Night

So here’s a quick vid of our new flat. It is a very rough cut of a very rough “before” apartment, but I just didn’t want to forget what moving REALLY looks like 😉 And I have no shame, so I decided to share it with you all, too. Move-in date: 24 August 2011. Tomorrow marks one week.
A few things about this video:
1. Notice the Coke–in our hearts, no, we have not left Atlanta 😉
2. Notice the music. We’re an eclectic pair (Counting Crows and Brad Paisley. Impressive, I know).
3. Notice the “neutral” color palate {read: apparently, completely white-washing everything makes it “neutral”}
4. Notice the incredibly attractive tall man. I kinda love him a lot.
5. To answer your question: No, I have not yet figured out the washing machine. Nor have I attempted another load of laundry since. Pity the kind and very patient tall man.
There will be pics of the “after” coming soon. Bear with me and my slow/ spotty internet connection.

Tomorrow: London

In the words of The Gypsy Mama:

“And tomorrow I take flight with this team to go and be guests in someone else’s country, community and home. To learn what makes them laugh and where they live and what stories they treasure in their hearts. To share food and faith and look deep into each other’s eyes and discover through the grime and accents and distances that we are all beautiful.”

That’s why we’re going.

We are captivated by the people of this earth. We want to experience and embrace the reality that we are all made in God’s image. We want to visit and live – to taste and see that it is good and that we are all beautiful.
