I commented on your first post.....I had pretty much given up on you coming back but then a blogging friend did a post announcing that you were blogging again and I could NOT get over here fast enough!<br /><br />And thanks for asking first, but yes, feel free to use my real name.

It is fun to have some of the old things around, but I also feel free from a lot of it and will be donating it to others. My old things fit sort of awkwardly into the rooms of this house, but I'm jostling and juggling, and eventually I should find something that works. :-)<br /><br />Thank you, Aimee! You won't have to wait long for those photos. You know me. I can't help but shoot pictures of the most mundane things around me. :-)<br /><br />Wow, thank you, Mary. Very sweet thoughts. :-)<br /><br />"Quiet, Gracious Life" (am I allowed to use your real name?!) :-) I am so happy to see you again! I will need to run to your blog to catch up. Right now, I'm posting from a coffee shop, so it won't be today, but I hope to have internet set up at home before long. :-)<br /><br />Michelle, I do know what you mean. I was thinking yesterday as I leisurely unpacked (and have a loooonnnng ways to go) that there was a day, when my children were young, when I could set up an entire house in 24 hours upon moving in! (What?!) That seems impossible (and sort of funny) now. I either had way, way too much energy, or I was way too impatient! (We'll blame it on the energy!). :-) I do like your attitude of being intentional and thoughtful. An old favorite writer said that hurry and impatience are sure marks of the amateur, and too often, that has been me! :-OSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469299112021260475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-8938836790480407082011-07-09T09:15:23.514-07:002011-07-09T09:15:23.514-07:00I am really loving your posts about making a home....I am really loving your posts about making a home. It helps to remind me that it is a process. I have a tendency to want things done now, and I am trying to slow down and think through my choices and be more intentional about how we are using our space as we work to repair storm damage. I can't wait to see how your new home progresses.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05143371958951670471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7596826491172481628.post-64102229169752911892011-07-08T19:21:06.334-07:002011-07-08T19:21:06.334-07:00"I think I’ve subconsciously held off entirel...<i>"I think I’ve subconsciously held off entirely embracing this little house as home, even though I like it so well, and even though I recognize it as a gift from the Lord, because I don’t know how long I’ll be able to stay here. Maybe I haven’t wanted to start setting down roots only to have to pull them up again...."</i><br /><br />I can *so much* relate to this because it's exactly how I've been feeling and living the last 8 months.<br /><br />Like the rest I am excited to see more pictures of your sweet little cottage.
