All I want for Christmas....

Life seems to be going at a speed that I cannot keep up with. Days pass by at the speed of light and I sit in bed and think "Wait, I have 2 weeks to get everything done, how will I ever do it all".

Life threw us a very unexpected curve ball this last week. After Sean & I got married, I told him that our apartment was ideal for a single person, but for 2 people and all there belongings, it was a tight squeeze. At first, he didn't understand why I thought this. I'd wake up every morning, and run into something, whether a laundry basket or a hamper or a bed leg. I felt that everywhere I thought I could move, I couldn't. You may be reading this, and thinking "She is just a clutz" or "Why don't you clean up things and you won't step on them". The only place I felt I could move  in our bedroom was on our bed.

The kitchen was the same way. There was no room for 2 people to be in there. If Sean was cooking, I couldn't load the dishwasher at the same time. Between this and the noise from our neighbors, living was becoming more and more difficult.

My parents had recently purchased a home to use as a rental. I had looked at the house and loved it before Sean & I got married. I knew we wouldn't be able to break our lease and I knew I had to at least try living there. After we got married, I felt like all I ever did was clean because the area was too small for anything. Also, it was a far drive for work. I mentioned to Sean that we should look at the house again together, just so he had an idea. He didn't like the idea at first at all. After seeing the house, he knew it would be a good decision to move.

In 5 short days, we realized that the house was ours, and that our notice that we would be out of the apartment was all settled.

Now what?

Packing of course! I had just got everything unpacked, so this part is annoying! But I keep thinking, this is the right thing to do. We will finally have a home!

For Christmas, all I wanted was a beautiful tree, a fireplace, and my sweet smiley husband, and a home that we could actually call "home".

Merry Christmas to us!

Everything I could ever have prayed for or dreamed of, is coming true.

God is so good!
