Boatload Chronicles

The first weekend in May has come and gone. I have less than three weeks until we move! Saturday Christopher and I took about four boxes of stuff to Goodwill, and Christopher has sold nearly $200 worth of stuff on half.com. But we still have so many more things to get rid of! I still don't know how it's all going to get done.

Christopher made a scale of our apartment and of the furniture we are keeping, and I played with that for about an hour tonight. It was fun trying to figure out where everything is going to go in that tiny little place. I know we can make it work. We HAVE to make it work. I am not going to live in a tacky, cramped apartment for the next three years! Condensing our stuff is a challenge, but that's why I think it's so much fun (and so overwhelming).

I thought for sure I would be celebrating Mother's Day this year with my husband and a new little one, but it's not to be. But I have more peace now than I did just a few months ago in that area. I still wish God would bless us now, but I'm more content to wait on His timing and be thankful for the days I can sleep until noon and stay out until 3AM watching Spiderman 3 and going over to friends' houses without worrying about getting home to put the baby to bed. Instead of focusing on why I can't conceive, I'm trying to focus on the freedom I have now. This has helped me stay much happier.

To those who will be celebrating Mother's Day (Mom, Betsy, Melody, Sarah, Nicole, Kat), I hope you ladies have a wonderful day, and I hope you remember how much you are loved and appreciated. What would we do without you?
