We're Big Kids Now

Well then, the past three days have been...interesting. :)

Truly it is amazing the things that can happen in just three days. In marriage, three days can mean many things. This time, three days meant, "Oh hey, something is happening with your house." And what might be happening, it just might be put up for sale. And for might, I mean, it is. It's reality, it's a fact. I cried about it, yeah, but in the end I went into Go Mode, ok, so, what do we do now?

This house was nice to rent, and we put a lot of effort into making it our home. But it's just a house, and home is when I'm with Blair. So, today, we went to look for apartments. Because this, friends, is the best choice for us.

Here is a list of all the reasons finding a small apartment is the right choice for us:

• We have a lot of room. Maybe too much room, there is a whole room and basement that we don't use. Seriously! We thought it was great at first, but dude, seriously...even as I write this my husband in DOWN THE HALL...that's way far away from me. And we like each other. We like being super close all the time. (That's not a problem, right?!)
• What we pay for rent AND utilities would add up to what we pay for rent in an apartment anyways. 
• We would never have to take the trash to the dump. We'd only have to take down to the dumpster, and that would be great, not gonna lie. 
• We'd be in town. I had panic attacks because we were up on a mountain in two feet of snow. At least in town I wouldn't freak out quite so much. (Side note, I'm still not going anywhere else in the snow...I still won't like it...it's dumb.)

But in the end, God is God, and he has a plan. And his plan is better than this house and better than what we could even hope for. We are, however, REFUSING to live with EITHER of our parents, mainly because having my own kitchen makes me happy. And going back to live with either of them (though we LOVE them) would just...just...no. 

So we are apartment hunting and my husband is still job hunting  (that man applied to four jobs yesterday..FOUR, how IMPRESSED are you....I mean, shoot, I was) and God is still God. Home is where he is and where we are safe with one another. I don't care where I live, so long as I'm with this man I love so much.

And don't worry friends and family, all three of you who might read this, we learned a lesson. That seems to be all that we are doing lately, learning lessons. Because, well, we'e naive, and we love the world to much, and we think to highly of people, and we just have to learn to be more cautious. It still won't stop us from loving people with all our hearts, it will just assure us that we are big kids who have to make big kid choices. 

We spent the afternoon picking up prescriptions, looking into apartments, taking care of our lovely one car, and eating some Chinese food, because sometimes, you just need some chinese food and books. 

It's not often we get Chinese. :)

Even when we do,
we read. :)

On our way home. 

Someone was tired and little goofy...
