...and I'm back...

It feels like quite a while since I last wrote anything. I never realized how busy and draining a move can be on me. I never realized until this move how being organized and have order in the home can make life run smoother. All those times I got lazy...I sure paid for this past while. I never realized how much stuff we've bought or acquired during our 10 years of marriage.
But I also never knew that I could work so hard, the friends I had (who blessed us throughout this process) and love for the 'country living' that has been lacking from my life thus far.
I have been truly overwhelmed by the graciousness of others, from help and offers of help to meeting some unbelievable neighbours. A quick story: at church yesterday morning, a man came up to me and introduced himself my neighbour across the street. The thought of moving away from our sweet neighbourhood made me cry as the bond we had was super strong. We were praying for new surroundings and God has provided us with an amazing new community. For that and so much more, we are so thankful!
I also have been putting order back into our life. Less than 24 hours after our move, there wasn't a box to be found. Now that's a good feeling. And there's order in my kitchen too...starting with a 4 week meal schedule...today is corn chowder...a yummy family favorite!
I had felt stressed out lately but finally coming home has been so wonderful.



And the best part...
an amazing sunset everyday!

organization is a great thing! i am thinking we are 4 weeks away from moving and that i should get started right NOW. because if i don't it will be utter chaos. and having no boxes 24 hours later is an AWESOME goal. so glad that you feel at home there already! hugs :)
