Our First Visitors!

Yesterday we enjoyed a first here in our new home...our first visitors!

Technically our first visitors arrived the day we moved in - and they helped us tote in all our belongings. But we hadn't invited any visitors over since we unpacked all those belongings and tucked them in their respective homes.

Until yesterday!

My parents came to visit! They had gone away overnight for their 66th anniversary and stopped by to see us on their way back home. I was so glad to see them pull in the parking lot, since I was the one who had written out directions for them from their hotel. Sure was glad to see I hadn't mixed up any of the "turn right" and "turn left" advice.

We gave them a tour of the apartment; even though we had FaceTimed with them and sent pictures and videos, it's not the same as seeing it all in real life.

Then we showed them around the building a bit, and they got to meet our friends and co-workers. (It was a day off for us, so they were on duty.) And we gave them their anniversary present!

(Dad had to vacate his place on the couch playing with Braeya for the above photo - ha!)

After we showed them the building and grounds, we took them on a driving tour of Grabill and Leo.

Then we took them out for dinner at this little Amish store that also serves food. (It was like my dad's happiest world all in one building.) They enjoyed it, I think!!

And then we sent them on their way so they could get home before dark. :)

And then we took a nap because apparently Amish food puts us in a food coma!!

It was good to have them here, and good to celebrate their anniversary with them!
