i love being home

we are so thankful for our new home. thank you to everyone who has helped us get to this point. dp and i sure do spend a lot of time working within our home (and there are many discussions about how much time and energy should go into it), but regardless, we are so happy! we're sitting here now as i type and he reads economist. we just did a few hours of house work. he is scraping glue off the walls in one of the bedrooms and i was pruning the rose bush, and cleaning up odds and ends. we also met another set of neighbors which was cool. everyone seems respectful of privacy yet very friendly and helpful. apparently our other neighbors had a block party in jan and are going to have another one this summer. i am excited for that and maybe will be a part of that coordination. today dp and i finally returned back to church... it had been several weeks. it was nice to be back. it's so wonderful to be a part of a community that notices when you've been absent for several weeks. anyways, life is dandy and we are just immensely thankful and happy. praise You Lord... for your blessings and faithfulness in providing us with what we need and want... but all for the purposes You have in store for us that we may never understand within our human mind.
