Life in the city with groceries!

Bentley and I went grocery shopping and to the gym after dropping David off at the hospital yesterday. So far I just do the things I need to do without worrying how I will get all the stuff into the apt. I think yesterday I finally figured out something that works! They have these carts you can use and one of them has the side bars. So I loaded up the groceries, left them on the curb, went and parked the car, got Bentley out walked back to the building where a man helped me pull the cart inside. Then what?!?! Well, I decided I would put Ben on the cart too...and his carseat happened to fit! Then I brought the cart up, unloaded the groceries, and took Bentley and the cart back down to the lobby and then back up to put the groceries away. Craziness!
Anyway, life in Detroit is good. :) Pray for us to find a place to live in June. Looks like we'll be living with Chris and Leigh and maybe Micah....we'll see what happens in the next few months! God is doing some cool stuff! Anyway, here's a link to some more random pics: http://picasaweb.google.com/Adriennelynne82/20090127Jan2009#

 

 

 

 

So I  know a lot of you don't have any idea what Detroit is actually like. I do plan on taking a lot of pictures of Detroit while we live here. I am not very good at that kind of photography (I'd rather do people), but it will be a good opportunity to work on it. I also hope to do some video. When David brought me to Detroit in May of 2007 I had NO idea what I was about to see. I just remember crying. I found this video on youtube that shows only the skyskrapers that have been abandoned....I hope to get some neighborhood pics up soon. The idea of the video is to show you that these buildings are downtown...they aren't off in some part of town...they are EVERYWHERE...and next door might be a highrise selling condos for $250,000-1,000,000. Seriously. Who is going to invest in that? 

So anyway, here's the video...it's sort of long, but you'll get the idea after a minute or two.
