So we finally found our new home with only days to spare before our lease was up on our current place. Talk about stress! We now have just 2 days (including today) to pack up our entire townhome and get everything moved into our new apartment...ahhhhhhh! If I weren't pregnant and carring for a toddler, I might be reaching for a Vicodin right about now so I could sleep my way through all of this chaos!
Our new apartment is in Columbia, IL and is only 12 miles from downtown St. Louis. We both totally love Columbia already...it is a smaller (pop.9,500), safe town with lots of restaurants and parks and things to do. You really do not feel like you are so close to the city. Chris' commute is going to be cut in half, which will make life less stressful for both of us. The apartment is a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom unit with a nice big balcony overlooking the woods. Lots of natural light which I have been craving given that our current pad is so dark and depressing! I'm totally digging the fact that it is one-story too. No more gazillions of trips up and down the stairs each day...my knees will be thanking me!
Eve is great, and beginning to talk up a storm. "Hi" is the word of the moment and she says it at least once every minute. I am seeing a tiny light at the end of the tunnel as far as morning sickness goes. While I am still sick everyday, it is progressively getting better. Overall, life is good right now. I recently came across the following words in an email, and it rung so true to me that I thought I'd share...
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
