New Apartment (complete with pictures of old and new)

Last weekend we heard a rumor that we would move into our new apartment on the 1st of the month and so we decided on Sunday we could pack our stuff the next evening (Monday June 30th). We were bored later that evening so we went ahead and started packing our stuff up and quickly got most everything packed. That is fine – it would make Monday evening even easier. Sunday night we got a call from the pastors wife (about 10:30 at night) saying that we were moving tomorrow (Monday). She was calling to tell us this so that we could have everything packed by 9 am the next morning *gasp*. Luckily (or God’s planning) we already had most everything packed and just had to pack up the last stuff (sheets, toothbrush etc) in the morning.
So we had everything packed and left as usual for teaching at the Kindergarten. We had our keys and tried to drop them off at the Pastors office but it was locked L We called around and were finally told that we were supposed to leave our keys on the kitchen table and the apartment unlocked. Someone drove to the kindergarten and picked up our keys. While we were teaching at the kindergarten and eating lunch they moved everything from one apartment to another and got it all set up for us (basically in 2 hrs). After lunch the pastor’s wife drove us over to the apartment to show is where it is and to see what it is like.
It’s a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment with the view of a mountain to the east (I think) and a view of the parking lot and other apartments in the complex to the west. My bedroom is about the size of the bed :P but that is fine. There is a little porch type thing at the end of my bedroom that my dresser and mirror are at that. One bad thing is that the sheets I brought from America were for a twin sized bed and the bed that I have here is larger (queen maybe). I will have to go to the E-mart and get myself a bigger sheet set. This apartment does have a washer and a drying rack on the mountain view porch.
Pictures

This is my old apartment. You can see the lovely bathroom with the shower basically on top of the toilet, the couches that came from the pastors office (along with the coffee table) and the bedroom with a bed (I also have a dresser and mirror but they cannot be seen in that picture)

This last picture is the front of my old apartment building with is lovely paint color (but it made it easy to pick out if I wasn’t quite sure the way home).
