Post From A Tiny Apartment

We are set up in the new apartment! I had this idea in my head that I was going to post all these cute pictures with the post about the new apartment, but...I'm too tired to care. My camera with said cute pictures is in my car, and the thought of walking towards that car, outside none the less, makes me want to just kinda...get into the fetal position and stay there. :)

It's been a crazy few weeks. We've done a lot and had a lot of help...here! A list! Those always help me!

• I am blessed with not ONE but TWO momma's that were Military wives. Know what that means? Moving, is no big deal to them. They just know what they are doing. I have never seen a house moved so quickly. It was intense. It was awesome. 
• I am also blessed with a Daddy who has a very big truck. (That said truck was bought before a shower in the basement where I used to live doesn't bother me at all...really...there was a lot of sarcasm there...) (In the end though...) I'm glad he has that truck, because we moved all of our junk in pretty much two days. Don't tell me that's not amazing. Because it is. 
• Our apartment is tiny, and we have kids above us, and a construction site right next to our bedroom, and death toilets that flush so loudly I sweat I'm making EVERY one wake up to hear...BUT we love it. We love it so much. And you know, I can see us being here for a while, it's cozy, and we like cozy. 
• Moving makes me crazy. Not sleeping well makes me crazy. God bless my amazing Husband who lets me be crazy. Seriously though, in the past two months, we've gone through some things that have really tested and strengthened our relationship. 
• I have neighbors! People that I like! Twice now I've walked to a friend from my churches house, not to mention she is the mother of my God son, not to mention she has a sweet washer and dryer and I never have to use my buildings laundromat to do my laundry! God has blessed me indeed, and I've gotten to spend so much time with my Rayden. When I clap my hands and say "Yay" he claps his hands and smiles. He knows me. :)))
  
• On a more serious note, Rayden's Grandmother, my boss/mentor/person I look up to, has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. That's been a little intense. I won't say to much, because it's a close family thing, but hey, they keep telling me I'm family, and let me tell you, this woman...is amazing. I have this bad awesome habit of loving people, FIERCELY and when they hurt, I hurt. I come home super tired at the end of the day, because I wish, with everything in me, that I could take this hurt for her. As it is, I can only lift her up to the Lord and Healer, and ask others to do the same. So if you read this, say a prayer, she needs all the prayers she can get (as do most of us!). 

I wish I was being more diligent about posting photos, because I've done a couple shoots here recently (one of some siblings, it was awesome!) and I would love to share and write! It's taken us a while to get our internets hooked up, but now that we do, hopefully I'll be back to writing and sharing and posting. Who knows what will happen?! Only the Lord, and you know what, I'm happy about that. :)
