breaking the hush

I’m obviously starting a new chapter in my life, only to finalize the last one, by having everything I own moved out of my apartment this past weekend. (A special shout out to Uncle Ronny, Robert (Happy Birthday), Trevor, Tracy, Andrea and mom for making this happen without a hitch! And of course, Dad, the chief! Thank you for your sacrificial time and energy!)

Most people would probably be saddened to have made your house a home, leaving one day expecting to return, only to never see it again. Well, because I know this is a new chapter and I have learned how to trust GOD 100%, it is kind of exciting! You know, where will I live next? What will I be doing? How will God use this? It’s exciting!

Will I miss it? Yes! I loved the hard wood floors, the 6 inch baseboards, all the natural light from the picture windows and even the slightly botched ceramic tile job I did in the bathroom (nothing that can’t be hidden by a contouringJ.) Most importantly, I will miss that it was mine! I worked hard to make that little place my home and created several memories while doing so:

~The sibling bonding between my sisters and I while moving that darn fridge (and everything else) up that tight stairwell – you ladies are hosses!

~Spending HOURS/DAYS painting every inch of every wall, while jamming to Michael Jackson. (thanks for the help, Shanell.)

~Sleeping in full winter garb, due to minimal heaters, and coming home to a brand new A/C window unit after suffering my first summer months. (Thanks Dad-the gift of A/C compares to no other!)

~”Chuck” nights and impromptu Thanksgiving dinner with Angie

~Dinner party with the Badders!

~Movie night and pizza with Justin

~”Borrowing” the neighbors wireless to watch the “Glee” episode that the DVR cut off with Andrea

~Transitioning Adelaide (Adee) from doggy door to holding it – enough said!

So, it’s kind of bittersweet – I’ll miss my home but will always have the memories and, of course, with all God has in store-it can only get sweeter!
