It hasn't felt like Christmas yet. Maybe it's because Dan hasn't been here, or maybe because I haven't been able to decorate. It will feel more like Christmas today when we're all together again. Plus we already have our Christmas gift:
WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! We're so incredibly excited. We already have the keys, and it's just waiting for all our stuff. We'll still be in the condo through the end of January (Woo Hoo!), which is probably how long it will take for our household goods to arrive. It's beautiful! Built in 2010, 2060sqft, 3 br, 2.5 bath. We love it. Of course I haven't seen it in person yet . . . but it's soooo much better than the bouncing from place to place that I expected to do for the next 2-3 months. Yes, that's Dan's new ride in the driveway. (Give him a break . . . at least it's a different color than the last one . . . )
We will be just outside the gates of Schofield Barracks in the Wheeler Army Airfield area. This means we'll get to pass all the cool helicopters on the way to our house every day. Axel's gonna love it. The area has recently been completely re-done. In fact, if you look on Google Maps, not even the streets are the same now. It's a totally new neighborhood. We're so excited!
I love that the kitchen is open to the living area, so I can watch the kids play while I'm cooking. I love that the back yard (although tiny) is fenced-in. I love that I already know where I'll put the Christmas tree next year. I REALLY love that I'll have half the bathrooms to clean.
I love that God has anticipated our every stress, fear and question. He has overwhelmingly provided for us so much better than we had even hoped. At this point it seems futile to have a single worry about anything anymore. I just wish we would have realized that a little sooner.
Dan's plane just landed. (Insert girly giggling here.) A whole week with family, food and presents. More blessings. We're having such a blast!
