Working through the Present

Well the move-in happened, and went so well! 

We had some great friends help us and give us major support and love through it all. My parents, the Viking's parents, and 4 other friends, put the pedal to the medal and got us packed up and moved over to the new place by around 5 that afternoon.

One thing that I am taking away from this experience- I have to quit being a pack rat! I had no idea how much stuff we accumulated in the 3 years we were in the old house! I have posted so many organizational tips to Pinterest and now it is actually time for me to implement them. It was just amazing that our moving buddies didn't mind it all- they just picked up and packed up where we needed it, and hauled it over. That was the biggest aid to a calm and stress-free move. I was able to assess priorities and give direction with a deep breath, clear thoughts, and Christ's love surrounding me. Currently, we can't safely navigate through our garage, but the stuff is at least in the house.

I could never have imagined how at peace I would feel in this house. I laid down the first night and it was as if the Lord was whispering to me "This is where you belong", because I have never felt more at home (But we were exhausted and had just laid fresh sheets on the bed so that always helps ;). I am very excited about getting the opportunity to organize and start to truly make it our own with all of the crafts that will soon begin! I'll be keeping it posted here, but for now, welcome to our home "The other side of the Lake"!
