These are the turtles who so graciously welcomed me to my new home! This is part of the lovely 10-mile path behind my apartment

A Week in My New Home

Nearly an entire week has passed since I moved to Irving! My time has been spent getting settled into my lovely apartment, reading, sewing, playing my piano, talking with my roommate, and playing with my few friends who live in this area! It has been relaxing and rejuvenating after four hectic years in undergrad.

My favorite feature of my new apartment is a long trail that runs along a creek. It is right behind my apartment and goes through the nice neighborhoods surrounding me. This evening after a short stroll, I stopped on the wooden bridge (which reminds me of the bridge on Anne of Green Gables) and found myself being greeted by eight turtles in the water just below me! Although it would be considered an insignificant sight to most people, it was a small gift from God that brought me pleasure!
