Peace Like a River

I have not fallen off the face of the planet. Well, maybe the blogging world, but the whole planet! :)

Our house closed as planned on the Sept 12th. We were then homeless for over a week (living in an apartment with my WONDERFUL sister-in-law and her little boy while all of our worldly possessions lived in a storage unit one block from our old house and 10+ miles from the new one….). The chickens went to live at my parents' house, but will probably be finding a new, permanent home with someone else (when and who are both to be determined).

Just this last Saturday, I got the very last load out of the storage unit (yay!), except now it's all piled high in my kitchen (boo!). But I am making progress, so that's good. It's just a little overwhelming sometimes. And I finally got Internet access about a week ago, so now that I have internet again and we're officially done moving (out of the storage unit), I'm allowing myself some catch-up time here! :)

Oh, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my commute. I can even run and visit the kids at lunchtime! So even though I miss my old house and old town a lot, I'm getting used to the new place and really see the bonuses!

Well, I've got lots to do, so I guess I should probably go do something! :)

I can understand that a short commute is such a huge blessing in a big city. I am glad you are saving time and gas money too! I hope you are getting settled and that God will continue to guide you on this new chapter in your lives. Jill

Hi!

Onnea uuteen kotiin! The short commute and especially the fact that you can visit your kids at lunch time sound wonderful! Plus now you'll have more time to be with them in the evenings too : )

PS: The first sentence is what I would say in Finnish to someone who has just moved. It could be translated as congratulations/happiness to a new home but I don't know what you'd say in English so I decided to use the Finnish version : ) This is something no one has taught me at university : )
