Well, it is January. My little girl turns one this month. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. I have tried to soak in all of the moments, to savor and cherish them, yet they still seemed to have zipped by me at lightening speed. Time is funny like that. It is like trying to catch the wind. Apricot is growing and flourishing right before our eyes. She has such a personality on her; it is amazing. I am still amazed at the miracle that is her.
We moved into Oak's parent's house on January 1. Let us just say we are still in transition. Our house (which we now lovingly refer to as 'our shore house') is half packed and vacant of bodies. We went there last weekend to pack some things, and it was creepy and depressing. Creepy I guess because no one had been there for a week, and it was just Apricot and me at first - no Oak or Kitty. Depressing for more than one reason. I wanted equally to both never see that place again and never leave again. We still have a lot to do. If we methodically chip away at it, it really should not take us too long. As long as we are consistently doing something productive.
On the bright side, we may have found renters! Holla! We met, and liked, them. They have a 3-week-old boy and seem very nice. They cannot move in until April 1, but that is okay because now we do not have to rush to get our stuff packed. It stinks a little because we have to carry the mortgage for two months more than we had anticipated, but we think it is worth it. We are really hoping they work out to be great renters. Only time will tell.
God is in control of all these things in our lives. GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS. God loves us. I will keep telling myself this. Romans 12:12, Ephesians 5:20 and also Romans 8:28
