Just when...

Just when I sit down to blog my cell phone rings. Of course, it is not the call I was waiting for, it was LIFELOCK. Our "safety and security" is about to lapse. Ugh. Whatever. Before that I was doing some light picking up and all of a sudden as I walked through the hall I felt home. I don't feel as at home without Rick but this feeling will do for now. In the 7 days that we have lived here I have managed (with Courtney's help) to get the house in order and the garage rearranged complete with a workout area. I feel accomplished today. My house is in order and I got my van repaired. (That was $300 I wasn't really excited about spending.) I suppose in the end fixing the van later could have ended n disaster. All in all I am glad that everything is as it should be.

Have you ever just walked into a room and felt something come over you. A sense of peace, stability, and confidence. That is how I felt as I walked through the house today. No, this is not exactly my ideal house, but that day will come. For now, it's home and I feel blessed to have what I have. I love my life and I love the (my) husband that provides all of this for me. I really owe him a lot. If it wasn't for him (although he will NEVER take credit) I probably wouldn't be in the awesome place that I am. Through my faith in the Lord and the support and love of my husband I really do have it all. Sure, I could wish for more or be envious of what someone else has but here's the thing: God brings us to this world knowing exactly what is in store for us. Everyone walks a different journey and for us, the journey is the reward.

I truly feel blessed and I hope to be able to continue to pay it forward...

Until next time...
