God has taught me to be very patient..for 2 1/2 years to wait to get a new home. We were blessed to have a place to rent during that time, but it was sure a growing time too. I've been made to realize how the little things are so special and what is truly important. It has been hard and not what I thought, but what we have now is so wonderful. I think that is life, you go on a roller coaster ride to be stretched and taught things so you can be more like Christ and to really get a grip on what to focus on.
It is amazing how waling into our new house how it just felt like it was meant to be. We really lucked out by moving into a great neighborhood too! One of the first things I noticed was that people wave at you when you walk or drive by. They even roll up your trash or recycling bin when they've come around to pick it up! They even have potlucks once a month or so for all the neighbors to get together to have that community aspect in the neighborhood.
I've always wanted a window above my kitchen sink..I do now. It's fun to look out at my future garden, Ellie checking out her new big backyard, and the birds..making sure they aren't getting into my flowers and veggies that are growing! The dinning room is dreamy, with the two french doors that open up to the side yard. That is where Chris and I set up our hammock. It will be a place that we'll truly enjoy laying on a nice day, taking a nap or reading a good book!
