Almost There

We're almost there... May 1st we move out of the village and into our own place. Everything comes out of storage. Can't even remember what went in, haven't seen all our earthly possessions since Christmas of 2008. We've learned to live without them, but don't think we don't want them back!

I'm getting a new laptop in the next 6 weeks, and when that happens, I think I'll break radio silence here at Willow Tree. A lot has changed, somethings never will... and I haven't been ready to write yet. It will come.

I did join the gym and lost 12 lbs and counting. Guess I looked in the mirror a couple months ago and thought Who ARE You?? Last year was for surviving... it wasn't enough. "...I came that they may have life and life more abundantly." (John 10:10)

I can say, for the first time in a very long time, I am happy. I forgot what that feels like. I don't intend to ever again.

Wooooooooohoooooooo! Great news! I'm so happy for you! If you ever feel the desire to share how it all came about, I'd love to hear it. (Is that nosy of me??) At any rate, I'm 100% positive that God had something to do with it. :) I'm pretty sure I'll go to bed with a smile on my face tonight, thinking about you and how far you've come. You are an inspiration!!

I'm glad you're happy - and I understand about not being ready to write... I've been dealing with a bit of that myself :)
