Apartment Layout

We received the layout of our on-campus 2 bedroom apartment today!  We are REALLY excited to learn that our apartment is in the main building and will not be off campus.    While most married couples/families live in a special building, we will be in the main building with most of the single students.  This plays into two major factors. 1) we will not have to travel or go outside in the notorious midwest winter to get to class. Yahoo!!!  2) We will be much more available to the single MK students of whom we want to get to know.

Here are some shots of our place.  (Don’t mind the construction as they are working on the room to get it ready)

 In typical fashion, Bree and I have already busted out the ruler and calculator and created mini-scale furniture pieces to plan out our furnishing attack!  One room will serve as our bedroom/study/office/art room and the other will be the kitchen/hangout/TV room.  Our goal is to really open up our home and make it a readily available hang out for MKs and all our other classmates.

Waukesha, Wi

Well, we are only one month away from our move out to Wisconsin for Missionary Training and folks have been asking recently about Waukesha!  From what we hear, Waukesha is spectacularly beautiful.  Full of trees, lakes, and rivers.  We are in walking distance to the ‘ol downtown and waterfront path that follows the gorgeous Fox River.  We will also but a 15 minute drive to downtown Milwaukee, and just under two hours from Chicago.

The 10-acre New Tribes Bible Institute – Waukesha campus is located in the western suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, only a 15-mile drive to the downtown sector. The city of Waukesha has a population of approximately 65,000. The main campus houses the administrative and faculty offices, classrooms, library, a dining hall that seats 170, student dorms, three student lounges, laundry facilities and a bookstore.  The campus complex includes additional housing for married students and their families, a 300-seat auditorium, a children’s playground, and gymnasium, as well as garages and physical plant shops.
