The truth is, we have many places we call "home." Of course we look forward to spending eternity with the Lord as our final home, but it is nice to begin to feel settled in this one, too. Having my family here helped a lot. Todd has been spending time each night and even more time on the weekends doing all kinds of projects. We still have about 8 or 10 boxes of things that do not fit anywhere specific yet, but they are neatly tucked away, and it seems that we are constantly whittling down the pile.
Everything has a fresh coat of paint, there are pictures on the walls, curtains on the windows, we are accumulating the last few pieces of furniture (some given to us and some bought here), appliances are installed, most of the light switch and outlet plates are back on again...and tonight Todd and I sat in plastic chairs as we sipped coffee together on the small balcony right outside our room. Down below entertainment was provided by Kyle and Megan as they did tricks on their scooters. :) They called it our coffee date.
