Yesterday morning, we went to the storage unit and packed everything up at about 9:50. It was just me, Jeremy, and his dad, but we really don't have much stuff at this point, so we were out of there by 11. Then we drove over to the house and unpacked my car quickly. The lady is still in the house, so we just shoved everything in a corner. Hopefully she will be leaving today, and we can get in there Friday morning and start cleaning. I drove home, got into my work clothes, ate a quesadilla for lunch and then drove to work for the day. I had to work until 5. Once I got home, we went for a walk, put Shea down for bed, then made our way to Silverdale. We were going to go out for dinner, but since we're going out Friday night (YAY!) we just went and got some chilli from Wendy's. Which was delicious because it was so cold out (yes, 51 degrees is cold. i am in trouble.). We also went to Goodwill and I finally found Shea some shoes that fit - which are also super cute. And we bought diapers. Then we came home, drank some tea, hung out with Jeremy's parents, and went to bed. That was my birthday. It was all-in-all, a good day.
Today I have to work from 12-9, but I only work 5 hours tomorrow, and only 4 hours on Saturday. AND I get Sunday off!! So my sister is coming out after church in the afternoon and spending the night. It will be so nice to have her help getting our house cleaned/situated. I hope I can find Jeremy's camera, because you have GOT to see some of the silly/funky stuff in this house we are definitely going to need to fix! Jeremy is trying to convince me to leave it all, of course.
Anyway, life is so good and God is taking care of us so much! I am in awe that we are getting this little house. Even the truck rental got taken care of, because my Grandma sent me twice as much as I usually get on my birthday, and we got a check from Jeremy's Grandma for Shea's babyshower gift that apparently we never were given. Amazing how these things come in just at the right time for just the right amount of money we need at that point. And I think we'll still be able to get Shea a train set for his birthday.
OH and the other exciting thing is that my mom's group has 7 people in it now! I have 3 ladies and their kids coming to a walking group on Tuesday, and another mom is coming to a playgroup the following Friday. The calendar is starting to fill up, and I am really so excited to meet all these ladies in the area! I am super excited to get our house guest ready so we can start having mom's-night out and different things like that! if you think of me, you can pray for this group. I really hope to make intentional relationships to minister to these ladies and their children in the way God has already prepared for me to do, but how I want to make sure I'm listening to His calling and now just being self-centered or doing things "my-way".
Love you girls!
EDIT: ha, the lady left YESTERDAY afternoon and didn't tell us! We could've been in there last night working on stuff! Oh well. We have the keys :D And she left a huge box of chocolates. :P
I can't wait to see pictures of you new house! I am excited your moms group is going well, and it is amazing how God provides when we need it most. No matter how often I see it I am still amazed. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that baby's room too. If I was rich I would have that lady come paint the rooms in my house, she is amazing, her whole blog show all the amazing things she has done and they just make me smile.
Have a super fun time at dinner on Friday, I will be thinking of you!
