So far we have seen God work in so many ways in 2011. We started the year celebrating Chris' birthday and enjoyed some wonderful snow days (thankfully not as many as last year). At the end of January we came to another decision point. Should we stay in our apartment another year or move into a rented townhouse. We had been looking and found a wonderful 2 bedroom townhouse right down from where we live. We signed our lease to move there and will be moving again in a couple weeks. We were blessed that the landlord is allowing us to sign a lease and wait to move for 5 weeks. We are excited for the additional space and living in a house again.
February has been a whirlwind and will continue this way until the end of the month. We signed a lease the first weekend, followed by time spent with friends. The second weekend Kristen helped with the father-daughter dance at church. What a treat. It was precious to see dad's invest in their daughters lives by showing them what a real date should look like. For some reason for one night my desire for all boys was gone as I watched these precious loved girls blossom in the love of their father both here and in heaven.
This weekend I came to New Orleans for a work show. I am going to have to write a whole other post for that. My heart is broken by this city. I will be back in Greensboro on Wednesday and then will fly to beautiful warm staying at a hotel at the beach, San Diego for another work show. And then it is March. We have lots to look forward to: Chris is taking vacation to spend time with Wes, my cousin Michelle is coming to visit, we are going to Virginia to see Peter, Betsy, Sam and Marina and we are moving. So somewhere in the month of March we will be packing up and getting rid and cleaning out our apartment and moving into our first house. Some pictures of the house are below. Its the front of the house....proof that we have a house and the kitchen. I will finally have room for all my fun baking endeavors!!!
