I quit coffee and we got a futon and a washer

We have been in the new apartment for almost three whole months now. We had this wonder washer, which is completely manual and you have to wring everything out and it still takes forever to dry, and then a kind family from the church had an old washer available and they brought it over. The problem was it was a cold day and she had just done a load in it. It worked great, but leaked all over the floor into the downstairs storage area onto our neighbor's things. So the day we deemed the washer unusable, Ben set out and found an affordable washer for our family and we had it delivered almost the next day. 

Our air mattresses had worked great for a while until one sprung a leak and then so did the other. Ben got a cot and I got a futon. It's a nice quality futon that was new when we got it. We need to avoid having a broken futon. It's great to have because within a week of purchasing it, Yonah pulled up for the first time.

Probably in the middle of Janurary, I didn't want to keep running out of coffee and hating everything for the few days until we could buy some again, and so I got a coffee sub called TeeCcino. It's tasty, you make in a coffee maker, and was just enough to make my morning routine still happen. I do miss it, but I have coffee once a week at mom's group, and it's never quite how I would make it. 

We had been attending Bossler Mennonite, which is where my mom's group meets! It's my survival! I love it and Naisa loves it. She asks to "go a kids" and when it's over and she still wants me to play, she tries to send me "go back to mommies" . She is disappointed when we miss nursery. 

We had been visiting a couple different churches because Ben wanted to attend one with a pastor with  extensive education. We went to a Calvary chapel in Lancaster, but we're disheartened when we couldn't have our children in the service and some left mid sermon after my glasses broke and Naisa fell down on her way out of the narrow pew, 

We are now attending the first church we looked at when we came... And we have been there one time since we decided to start going back, because of the weather. We won't be going this week because we will be in Souderton this weekend, attending one of Ben's cousin's wedding.
