Happy Monday and of course, happy post-Hurricane Matthew insanity!
Luckily for us, Hurricane Matthew was not as bad as we anticipated. Better to be over prepared than not prepared enough. Unfortunately, not all of Florida was as lucky so our prayers continue to go to those still effected. Life has been crazy so how bout a much needed update?
Well, we officially closed on our home late Tuesday, September 27th! It was a long day filled with unforeseen issues but we got the keys and moved in a week ago Saturday. We were both excited and honestly didn't have a thing packed until the morning of the move, this is typical me fashion! Procrastination at its best! But let's rewind back to the juicy stuff!
This house was the only house we saw, that's right, we only viewed one home. Call us crazy, well, you'd be right! First time home buyers, two busy schedules, seemed like a good idea! Well, we have definitely learned some valuable life lessons in the last 2 weeks! During our final walk through, we discovered a broken window. Then within the first week, had to replace all the plumbing under the house. The cute little house is still our sweet home but it's flaws showed themselves quickly. Like, first night quickly. But we have faith that God brought this chapter in our life novel to teach us things and make us stronger, and so it has!
Now things are more settled! This week we cleaned and made it more of our home. I even put out what little Fall decorations I have to make it feel like October. Sometimes things are like the fantasies we have fabricated in our minds. Funny how that works! We all picture what we thought love, life, and adulthood would be like but I guarantee that most of us weren't expecting it to be so drastically different.
Today Brad and I are celebrating 2 years of dating, weird to say since we are so committed but that's for society to label. In two years, we have been tested, succeed, failed, fought and fought hard, learned and, most importantly, we've loved. We are both stubborn and hard headed, we love hard and we fight even harder. But thank God that he put us in each other's life's for a reason and at the right time. I couldn't imagine going through all this with anyone else.
If I've learned anything this year, it has been to trust His timing. Have faith and pray! Never to old to hit your knees and be still. Hope everyone is having a great Monday and if not, then change your thinking as it can make a huge difference!
