Tim and I have been homeowners for a whole month! We made our first mortgage payment this week, YIKES! Now that it's raining again we've had to mow our yard. I've had to call the handyman to repair the trim (which he STILL hasn't done, he's got until Tuesday or else). We really are homeowners!
If you'd asked me 6 months ago if I thought we'd be homeowners I would have said something like this. I dream about being a homeowner, but no, we won't be able to buy anytime soon. I remember having serious conversations about renting a house that some friends of ours were trying to sell. I remember being devastated when we passed on that opportunity because I didn't think we'd find another one like it. I felt so frustrated, and angry that God was telling us NO!
Now, I laugh. God told us NO for a very firm reason. Shun was our reason! We love our house! Sure, we have some work to do. There are little things here and there. But it's our home! It already has so many of our touches. It already has great memories. There are still so many memories to be made here.
When I think about Tim and I it makes me happy. We've come along way in seven years. Seriously, seven years! We were so young and silly when we fell madly in love. We talked about getting married almost instantly. Now look at us. We have grown so much! We are trusting God so much more now than we did then. I'm proud of who we are becoming. I can't wait to see where we go.
Ok, I'm done! Mushy, sentimental stuff over!
