On This Episode of Cribs...

Moving sucks, but I think I’ve already mentioned that.  Luckily, 99.9% of everything is finished and put away.  I’m thankful too, because this upcoming week is going to be a busy one and I am not real sure I’ll actually be spending much time at home. 

Before I take you on a tour, I just wanted to share a bit of info. Old English may possibly be the best invention since wood itself.  Seriously, this stuff rocks.  It is inevitable, while moving; furniture is going to get scratches.  Instead of using my furniture pens to touch-up, I gave Old English a shot and it is like magic. 

So far, I am loving apartment living.  Everything is on the same floor.  No running up and down stairs all day.  The washer and dryer are like two steps away from the bedroom.  It’s mellow and laid back.  Winston has adapted well.  It has new carpet, which means either someone died in here or the people before were disgusting people.  Either way, the new carpet is a major major plus since I have a baby that will be crawling and walking soon(ish).  It’s all good. 

I was banking on the idea that someone…somewhere would have a non-secured network I could “borrow” for internet.  No such luck.  So I am using my EVO through a tethering app for internet.  Unfortunately, there isn’t much 3G service and NO 4G service in the apartment, so I am blogging from my back patio.  Right now, it is amazing outside, so I don’t mind.  But this could get tricky in the dead of winter.  


Living room:  The sectional is going to be my official napping spot.  

The massive bed-set actually fit in the room which was a pleasant surprise.  I absolutely love the bedding. I paid like $35 for the comforter, ALL the decorative pillows, and bed skirt at the JCPenny Outlet Store in JoCo. Which I felt was a great deal.  Then I KNEW it was a great deal when I saw the SAME exact set, with the same exact pieces at the regular JCPenny  for $160.00.  I was stunned. Yay for bargain shopping.  
Private bathroom

Living Room.  Love the french doors to the patio, but no screen??  That really sucks.  Most people just leave their doors wide open without screens.  Not sure I am down with that.  We will see, all bets are off when the first energy bill comes in.  The water heater is from 1983.  The estimated yearly cost in 83' to run that hot water heater is over 500 bucks.  That is some expensive hot water.  

Dinning area

Kitchen.  Which is looking a mess right now.  

Looks like all the important stuff is in there.  More condiments than any person should ever really need.  A box of wine (classy), a case of BL cans (even more classy), a package of chicken, and a package of green peppers.   
Hallway/Guest bathroom.  Check out the child safety door knob thingy.  I am such a good mom.

No shower curtain for guests apparently   

Master bathroom, you can't tell by the picture but there is a little area to sit and do make-up and hair.  The bathroom is, of course, tiny.  
Well there you have it....yay for being done moving.  Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.

Until next time....

Fruit & Root Connection: Tangled Up

Certainly, I've expressed my aversion to hyper-spiritualized language before. It often feels contrived, lacking authenticity—a facade of piety. Perhaps it's projection. Maybe jealousy. Or it could stem from a sense of disillusionment with the Christian community. But every so often, amidst the noise, a truth resonates deeply. "There is a root and fruit connection between heart and behavior. People and situations do not determine our behavior; these things provide an occasion where our behavior reveals our hearts." - Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands I've been navigating through my anger, confronting myself in the mirror. What does this anger unveil about my own heart? Surely, they aren't as enraged with me. In fact, they probably don't spare me a second thought. If anything, they—as sincerely as they can muster—bemoan my status as an apostate. So pitiful. My fruit is anger. And too often, I'm tempted to point fingers elsewhere as the source of my...

Should I Stay or Should I Go

At the time, deciding to leave felt like the most agonizing part of the whole ordeal. In hindsight, a few years of prayer journals were filled with distressing agony over desiring direction and reconciliation.  So much turmoil and emotional pain all the time. But we were constantly told that was to be expected. Hard was good. Hard truths. And iron sharpening iron. But in reality, We were all enduring death by a thousand paper-cuts. In reality, it was spiritual abuse.  In July of 2022, I sat in a lawn chair in California. It felt like a million miles from home.  We had been traveling the US, and hadn’t been home in weeks. I sat there, eating my bowl of chili.  As wonderful as the trip has been, I started to miss home. In my reflections. I counted my blessings. Home was good. Except one thing, I had a sense of dread when I thought about church. My chest would go tight. And my body felt shaky. I craved Jesus. I craved worship. I craved devotion. Being in God’s creation,...

If Your Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands....

Alright y'all, I need to post an actual blog post.  It's been awhile.I guess I have said " writers block".  Everytime I've sat down to blog, I've gotten this nasty attitude, like I just want to rant and complain.  I'm not a fan of giving a bad mood more than it deserves or letting people get on my nerves enough that it bleeds in my blog in the most passive-aggressive way possible.  So I won't go there this time.  Focusing on what I'm thankful for has been such a great practice, and has helped me avoid the above.  So here goes nothing.....I'll update a little bit on everthing I suppose.... Finally, life is beginning to slow down.I am so appreciative of the fact that the moving/settling in process is over ( only to do it all again in T minus 5 months....) In theory, there should be a big hole where our next house will be soon. For some reason I doubt that they will break ground this week, but I would be happy if they did...I'm stressed and ...
