hey, okay, addendum to my last posts.

I was feeling v crappy and that’s okay.

I still feel kind of crappy.

but, anyways, the main reason is because I feel lonely and like I don’t really have the perfect friend I’m looking for. Which is sort of a recipe for disappointment obviously.

But I’m really encouraged because I realized I already have what I’m looking for.

I’m looking to be fully known AND fully loved.

And Jesus already fully knows and fully loves me.

And it’s really ridiculous, to be honest.

I realize that I need to view my friendships as opportunities to serve, love, and give of myself, just like Jesus has done for me.

And in the process, I am confident that I will be blessed with the deep friendship that I seek.

I don’t know when.

But even if it doesn’t happen in my life time, I’ve already got this for eternity.

And when I’m home with God, I will have it even more fully. 

The ominous whistling outside my window brings me peace.

I wish more people would pass by our house doing these sorts of things.

Right now our house feels like a storage unit more than anything.

One room down, six more to go.

There’s so much to be done before the boy’s arrival, but I am proud to say we are more prepared now than ever. Our “living room” [which is soon to be our bedroom] is clean. It only took 2.5 hours, but once we move our couches out and our bedroom furniture in we can start setting up the boy’s stuff.

I want to keep cleaning, but my body is in utter disagreement.

Guess I’ll start getting ready for my hubby’s art show. I hope he gets to take off at lunch. He makes life so much better.

There’s a part of me that wants to name our daughter [if we ever have one] Dorothy just so I can call her ‘Dot’. Then there’s another part of me that really dislikes the name Dorothy.

• Can I just say that Mark and Priscilla are the cutest couple ever?
• Priscilla is brilliant. She has to be to put up with a husband like that, and by "like that" I mean a ton of things (some of which probably aren't valid).
• The Social Network was a great movie, and depending on the film's accuracy it has probably distorted my views if Mark just a tad. It's got to be the way Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Mark that's got me thinking Priscilla is likely to be one of the most intimidating women of our time.

my house is a direct reflection of my life at the moment
