Red Couch

I'm back again, one month later.  Yes, my husband is away.  I'm beginning to see a small pattern with this blogging.  Gilmore Girls has been playing all night, and my project that I was working on last time I posted is still in the works.

14 bins WAS a lot of bins, and hubster has been great about taking in all my junk and helping me organize it so that I can eventually get rid of it.  We now have a book shelf for my beloved books ad photo albums, and it all looks pretty great.  The living room is becoming a home.

The same is happening to my email inbox, bills, and laundry.  Gosh, I sound so old typing this.  The reality is that my Fridays have become my day to get away from the world, sleep off my tiredness, do projects that I've been wanting to do, and do all those household chores that I wish I had the daylight for during the week.

As I sit on my beloved new little red couch that we found at the ReStore, I'm relishing this moment.  I'm in our little one-bedroom apartment, full of books, love, art, and stories from our relatively new life.  It seems like I've been here forever, but I really haven't.  It's so difficult to imagine life before marriage, and I think that's a pretty neat phenomenon.

Meanwhile, life is passing.  Babies are turning one, couples are getting engaged and married, and brothers are growing up.  Friends are moving, and music on the radio is changing.  God bless this gift of time that I'm relishing at the moment.
