I just got back from lunch with one of my dear friends, Megan. We went to The Bagel Cafe which is a unique place to eat breakfast or lunch if anyone is looking for a new spot. Normally we enjoy eating outside, but it's a little bit too blistering hot today. Don't get me wrong, I adore the heat. Hot, humid, sticky weather is the best. Except I learned in Croatia, it's only the best when you get a break from the heat with AC inside. When there's no AC (like during our entire Croatia trip) then hot, humid, sticky weather isn't so attractive to me. Anyway, I love having coffee, lunch, or any meal for that matter with Megan. She's the kind of friend I leave a date with feeling like I'm already excited for the next get together.
As Chuck and I settle into our new townhouse, we still feel like visitors in someone else's home. Granted, we haven't been in this house for more than two weeks in a row yet, so maybe once we're actually done traveling, it will feel more like home. God has given us quite a bit more space, which leaves us quite a bit more space to decorate. Some of the rooms feel empty to me, and I'm really wanting to pour life into our new home. Life, color, pictures, and warmth. I always want our home to be a place where others feel welcomed, loved, and comfortable. Chuck calls this place "our cottage". I want it to FEEL like a cottage inside. The answer comes down to that good 'ol word....time. EVERY thing takes time.
This afternoon I am going to sort through a container of pictures I have, and throw away all the doubles I don't need. I used to print out every picture I took, and put the pictures into albums. Now I have countless albums on my computer, which I know I won't ever print out. It used to bother me, but having pictures on the computer does safe space in my closet! After that I need to dust the office, clean the upstairs bathroom, do a load of whites, and make dinner. People, these are the things stay-at-home-wives do and I absolutely love it.
