Five More Months

We close on our house in a week. It will take Eric and Whitney's house five months to be built from that point on. I am so looking forward to being in our new house and being away from the other drama. I really am. I know that Johnny and Corey have been a great deal of help to us in the last year but seriously, I need a break. I think my whole family needs a break. The things I am looking forward to most is not having to worry about every one else's problems so much but maybe I am fooling myself into thinking I will not worry. Maybe I will end up worrying more because I will worry about Johnny being able to make the monthly payments from month to month. The other things I am looking forward to is having a clean-ish house. I am going to work harder to keep our new house cleaner, particularly our bedroom, and all of the bathrooms. I do a pretty good job with the kitchen and Gracie's bedroom stays pretty clean. But the bathrooms are what lack the most here. There are three men living here and there is hardly any help keeping the bathrooms clean. Infact there is no help keeping them clean. I want clean bathrooms! I think that living in a rancher will help me as I will not have to worry about going up and down the stairs with vacuums and that sort of thing. Also most of our furniture will be new in the new house and that is helpful in motivating me to keep it clean. This is really stupid stuff but it matters to me.

The other thing I am going work hard on when we get in the new house is cooking at home. I am going to try very hard to cook every meal at home. I also want to have people at our home for dinner, especially on the weekends. Jeremy and I were talking about that over dinner tonight and that is something that Donna did not do. There was never any dinner guests in their house and I want that to be different. There has really not been any of that here in this house either but I want that to be different in this house as well. I want people to feel comfortable being at house for dinner and just hanging at our house. We are going to be trying to make this new church our home and I want to invite people over. I want to love people at our house. God, I want to honor you with what you have given us. Your blessings are many.
