Nesting

I must be a bird because I have spent the past three days nesting. :)

I had a brief moment, as I sat in front of my open, clean refrigerator with my cold food spread out around me, recalling my previous spring breaks. I picture me, sprawled out on the couch watching some excellent television or movie while my mom sat in the kitchen in front of the open, clean refrigerator, with her cold food around her.

Why am I cleaning the fridge?

Oh, yeah... I grew up, graduated college, got married, and moved into my new home. Mommy is not around to clean up for me anymore. Drat!

I felt SO good though, after that. Then, the next day, I cleaned and decorated the living room, then cooked my husband supper with brownies for desert! I felt like a real housewife. It's something I know I want to do one day, full time!!

When I have completed nesting, I definitely plan on posting pictures. I have never taken pictures of the place Chris and I call home, and I need to do that! It is really, truly starting to feel like a HOME. I have successfully decorated my whole house except for the dreaded junk room... that room is a summer project that demands much more time than one week.

We have some exciting news that I have been neglecting to post... Chris will become a deacon of Mt. Paran Primitive Baptist Church! The church voted him in two weeks ago, and Chris is excited to serve the church. He will be officially ordained the third Saturday of June... the 20th I think. The church has been such a blessing to us, and I can't just put into words how thankful we are to be there. Thinking back to all the chaos of this time last year, knowing I needed to be in Madison but not knowing how that was going to happen, and seeing how it has all fallen into place just makes me smile. God is in control.

So, I have managed to ramble! It is time to eat a late dinner!

I hope everyone is doing well! Leave me a note to tell me you dropped by! :)
