My cousin, Ryan, coming to visit (the first of our family to come).
Getting to see the Carlson's so often, now that we live an hour away.
The wok my brother Rollie and his wife Caitlyn bought us (I have been limited to cooking solely on a cook-top waiting for the oven to get hooked up).
The tree outside our bedroom window that suddenly bloomed.
And, IKEA rugs that make orange carpet look a little better! (Yes, that is an alligator at the end of our hallway--we have Grandma Stephens to thank for that:).)
aaaaaaahaha! That stinkin' orange carpet! Very inspiring post. Also, I forgot to tell you on our last skype chat that I LOVE your hair cut. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteCall me emotional but when you stated that the "tree outside suddenly bloomed.." is that not how God works with joy in our lives? When things feels dull, drab or even ugly, suddenly, a few little buds pop out and our perspective changes completely. I pray for many many more tree's to bloom in your new life there, and i do sincerely apologize about the orange carpet. (although, i rather like it.) :)

I feel very thankful for IKEA carpets on your behalf :) Also, I wish I was the one visiting you...
