I forgot about my blog in the hustle and bustle of life.
I just remembered it and read my last post.
Things have changed for the better and I really felt like I should make sure that I put my grateful feelings out into the universe.
Last post, I was underwater in my mortgage with no forseeable way of moving forward.
Not anymore. We're still underwater but were actually able to refi! This brought our payment to a much more manageable amount and will give us the option of renting this house out later if we want to.
I can't even begin to tell you how much weight that lifted off our shoulders. All thanks to a conversation with a friend and my decision to just Google it one. more time.
We're starting to move forward with plans to replace the deck outside, the flooring inside, bathrooms, and start turning our 2nd bedroom into a baby's room and a closet into a "cloffice."
All of this is wonderful and great but I really need to say thank you for the lesson.
I learned so much from our "circumstance." I learned patience. I learned gratitude. I learned that just because it doesn't look like I thought it was going to look like doesn't meant there is anything wrong. It's just different.
I learned perserverance. I learned trust. I learned that there are things much more important than whether or not my life matches up to those around me. I learned to value RIGHT NOW.
I'm so lucky to be living the life I'm living. And if it was all taken away tomorrow I would have to learn again that life is SO good--just the way it is.
