Friday Things

What a crazy exciting week. I have to be honest and say that I think I had one of the BEST Monday mornings I've ever had in my life. We have been putting out some feelers to our friends and family in MS to find a decent two plus bedroom house to rent and last week I got a lead on my DREAM house. After a few phone calls and some praying we started playing the waiting game to hear if we would get this house. This house let me tell you goes BEYOND my wildest dreams. I saw it a year or so ago on the market for sale but we weren't in MS yet or ready to buy a house so, I moved along and prayed that God would lead us in the right direction when the time came. God listens. Oh my word the gratitude and humbleness I feel right now brings me to tears. So, Monday morning I woke up bright eyed at 5AM because I just couldn't wait anymore to find out if we would be getting into this house. I made myself leave the owners alone for the weekend so they would have plenty of time to talk everything out and come to a decision and it almost killed me. Well, not really but I just couldn't stop thinking about it. If we landed this house it would be the perfect match, the perfect timing, and we wouldn't have to live with any of our relatives in January! I admit I was looking forward to living with Chads Grandmother for a few weeks but it always feels better to get your own place and have your own things at your finger tips. Long story short - WE GOT THE HOUSE!

I am still in shock really at how quickly this happened and how perfectly it all lined up. It gives me the same feeling I had when we moved up to Seattle - things just fell into place and everything felt RIGHT. It's moments like that when I know that God is driving our life and all of our choices. Only He could smooth out a path like this and bless us with everything we have worked and prayed for. I know that we are making the right move; I know we are doing what He is calling us to do and I will keep putting all my faith into Him for the rest of my life. I am so thankful - all the glory goes to God!

In other news this week (which so isn't as important as the above) I worked out a lot - had my last work Happy Hour with my amazing team - went out with my kickboxing family to say the dreaded goodbye (more on that Monday) - and mailed off our Christmas cards! It's been busy and this weekend is going to be crazy too. *More on that next week.

It's our last two weeks in Washington and we are going to make the most of it.

* Articles 2 & 3 I saw because of my friend Theresa's page. If you're on Facebook you should LIKE her wellness page where she shares all kinds of GOOD info. She is a Registered Dietitian at Lifetime Fitness in Arizona and I trust what she puts out. She's also beautiful and sweet so if you're looking for advice about nutrition from someone that went to school for it contact her.
