I like this Elizabeth Elliot quote, “If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next.
I like to think trials are reminders from God that there is something better.
Paul and I have decided to go ahead and move to our new house! We plan on moving the weekend of Oct. 14th. We are very excited and nervous about the whole moving experience. Last time we moved we had very little to move. This time we have quite a bit more. Thankfully, we don't have to be out all on the same day so we can take our time with the nitty gritty stuff that we don't know what to do with.
If some of you haven't already noticed, we're expecting baby #4! Due on April 12th. We are so excited and so are the kids! We just recently rented a baby heart doppler so we can listen to the heartbeat whenever we want. It's such a great sound to hear especially after losing the last baby. Pregnancy isn't the same after you go through a loss.
I keep looking around my house thinking-what I am going to do with all this stuff? And where will it go at the new house? I'm a bit overwhelmed at the thought. The new house is a bit bigger and we don;t really have the furniture to fill it. Some of the rooms will be very empty for quite a while I"m sure. However, I can't wait to fill up the kitchen! Our is busting at the seams and the new one is considerably bigger! There is even a perfect sized spot to put our upright freezer right in the kitchen! I'm gonna have my fridge and freezer in the same room! No more running down stairs to get my frozen stuff. That is so exciting!
I'm going to go sit down and strategize a packing plan. Much to do. |
