Home Sweet Home...

The short story is... originally Kirsten and I were supposed to live in a one-room flat, with a tiny bathroom and a tiny kitchen. We prepared ourselves for this venture of sharing a 20' x 15' room as our bedroom, living room and dining room by shopping at Ikea this past year and saying things like "We'll know each other really well after 5 months!" We were fully prepared to live together in our Itty Bitty Living Space :)

One month before our arrival we received an email saying one of the families here at Sunbury was going on furlough during 2011 and then relocating to Johannesburg for 2012 and that Kirsten and I would be living in that house since it will be empty! We were very excited as we learned that we now have 3 bedrooms, full kitchen, dining room, living room, a washer and dryer, and 1.5 bathrooms!

We have so much space we almost don't know what to do with it except have people over :) The Sunbury Family has already joined us for a braai (South African cookout) and our house is the favorite meeting place since we are the only house with Air Conditioning! :)

Here are some pictures of our home. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful home... there's plenty of room, so please come visit us!
