The time changed on Sunday, and now it gets dark by 5 o'clock each evening. It's only been a few days but whew I feel sleepy as soon as the sun sets! I have been trying to get outside to enjoy the sunshine while it lasts. One of the perks of this has been looking at all the gorgeous colorful leaves!
And afternoon coffee has become one of my go to treats, because if I succumb to the nap that always calls my name, I know I won't sleep good that night!
I shared this photo below on my Instagram the other day with the caption:
here's to seeking out joy in the waiting, beauty I the ordinary, and hope in unexpected places.
This is a quote from Morgan Harper Nichols that I found so fitting for my life right now.
In the background of this photo, you can see the tops of two red barns. These are from the property my husband and I bought from his grandfather. On this property are the most beautiful trees (that seem ordinary any other time of year), quintessential red barns, a handful of cows, and our adorable home-to-be! It is the cutest farm house that I have always always always loved, even before I knew my now husband. What are the odds that it was in his family and that we would someday get to live there?!
However, we are currently in the process of remodeling, and I am starting to get really antsy. I keep reminding myself to be patient and that it will all be worth the wait, but I am just so ready to move in and get settled and make our forever home a place full of love and happiness for many many many years to come!
I am constantly having to remind myself to seek out the joy in the waiting. God is helping me be patient, although I really am just so excited! We have been doing a lot of the work ourselves, and our contractor will come to do the finishing work, hopefully soon. My prayer is that we will not run into any surprises or too long of wait times for materials. I keep reminding myself that good things take time! I can't wait to write about this journey of making our house a home.
Xo,
