Not so outside the city limits anymore...

Hmmm.... so the whole idea behind my blog to begin with was to talk about me and my families adventures as we enjoyed life outside the city limits. Hmmmm..... I can't say that anymore. But now that I think about it I wonder if we are still outside the city limits? Just in another city. We sold our house that was outside the city limits and are moving on to a different adventure. We moved into an apartment over the top of a two car garage of our in-laws shop. It is about 45o square feet. We put all our stuff in storage and moved here. It is completely furnished and really cute. Miss D has her bed in one of the dormers and we put a curtain up to make it a little darker as we stay up after she has gone to bed. She has done well with the adjustment. We don't have a dishwasher... and right now the sink is full of dishes that I need to wash. We took a trip to Ikea to get some storage furniture for our clothes. For the 1st 4 days that we were here our clothes were in garbage bags at the end of our bed and it was making Mr. D crazy. We got some great cubbies for our folded clothes that work great. Plus they will be great furniture additions wherever we end up. We didn't even have to bring our bed... plus this one is much more comfortable. We were needing a new mattress and hadn't got around to buying one yet. I have my 20 week ultrasound later today and another thing that I'm enjoying is being close to town.  Close to BSF too. Hmmm.... what else. Mr. D starts a new job on Monday. It will last 2 months but maybe will turn into more. We are enjoying this transition time in our life pondering about our future. The whole time our house was for sale we knew that was our next step. Sell the house. Don't look at the top of the staircase and see all the steps to the top.... just focus on the next step. Well God sold our house in His timing. What a whirlwind it was too! So now we pray and wait for God to reveal the next step. Where and when it might be we can only speculate. We need to remember to keep our expectations in check. We learned that lesson as we were waiting for our house to sell. Expectations and plans for our lives put God in a box and when He doesn't perform according to the way we expected Him to we set ourselves up for disappointment. But as we see our life play out in rewind over the last month... His timing is perfect. A perfect buyer and Mr. D without a job so that we could help me pack our house in 2 weeks (with help of course). There are so many details that we are still realizing about His timing and we rest in the perfection of it. I know that our next step in life will also be God directed as we continue to seek Him before every decision that we make. Thank you God for being with us every ONE step at a time.
