Waiting

I wish I had some really cool update to off you, my faithful readers. The truth is? We're still just waiting. Waiting for our van to arrive, waiting on our stuff to arrive, waiting to close on a house. Waiting. Just waiting.

Actually I did get word that all our stuff arrived in Anchorage a few days ago. They've moved it all to storage where it waits until we say "go" and then they'll bring it all to us. Oh tease of teases! To know our stuff is so close and yet still out of reach. Grrrrr. It is lovely to know that as soon as we close on a house, our stuff won't be far behind, but not so fun to know it is soooo close and we can't access any of it! So we wait.

We are getting closer on the house thing. We are just waiting on an appraisal. As long as that comes in within an appropriate range to what we are paying, then we will be all set. Then we will simply be waiting on final paperwork so that we can close by mid-November.

Once it is all said and done, I'll post house pictures along with a post detailing the hunt for said house.

One thing I know for sure, waiting is not fun. But it is a great opportunity to seek the Lord. It's a great time to just relax, read the Word and reflect on what is on the horizon. I am trying to take advantage of this time. To not wish it away so soon. To truly relax in my surroundings and not spend this entire time wishing for something different. Anything I go through serves to make me stronger if I will let it and this transition is no different.

So we wait.
