Back to the apartment...

This is the first morning since before Memorial Day that we've woken up at the apartment. It's amazing how much stuff we accumulated at the in-laws house since we began our stay there! So, over Monday and Tuesday (yesterday), we brought back our stuff and de-Roberts their house :) Two busy days of packing, cleaning, and moving. It was an awesome stay, and made us realize how much we really, really want our own home...more specifically, our mini-farm barn home. The apartment is a harder place for us to be now, as more people move in - the type of people who want to party and leave the remains of their party in the front yard. The type of people who seem to have low expectations of themselves and their lives. Our apartment is even more temporary now, and we are more anxious to move on now than ever before. Destiny is pushing us into the ready position, against a door that has yet to be opened, making us claustrophobic and restless. We are hoping for an upgrade in Shelby's job that will promote her or put us in a more thriving area, and give us the "go" to settle into our new home and my new job. We talk about it, we dream about it, and we even prepare for it. We have several potted berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries. We also have our potted trees: apple, pear, and even nectarine. We are ready. SO ready! In the meantime, we will stay busy with summer, I will continue to work on my job search, and we will pack what we can to prepare for a move because, no matter what, we will not be staying here for much longer. Many thanks to Mimi and Papa for loaning us their haven and letting us live the life that we're shooting for, at least for a little bit!
