Place your title here! Lol!

Ok so I'm gonna be brutally honest with you all today. I do not like our house! It's old, the upstairs smells and is falling apart, it is too small, its totally outdated, spiders and large ugly beatles love to hang out in our house, the water is really hard, although it does come with a washing machine, there is no dryer (there isnt even room for one!), did I mention that the upstairs is unuseable except for the bathroom, and the room off of it. The bathroom use to have moth balls, our house is in the middle of the mennonite community so we are the object of curiosity for some ppl as they drive by reeeeeeally slowly. When we moved in we knew this would only be temporary but we didn't know how long temporary would be. 

Having said all that, I want to share some things I am learning while living at this house. There have been days I just wanna scream, and leave this house behind forever, and of course there are days where I can handle it and it's actually not that bad!yesterday was one of those days. I organized some surfaces and even made this coke bottle decor. 

Maybe it helped because it was raining all day, 

and the husband was home! 

RABBIT TRAIL HERE, sorry. Anyhoo, the other day when I was having a rather hard day after some bad news, I decided to come up with a list of things that I was grateful for in this rat hole. Here it is in no perticular order.

1. It's a roof over our head

2. The bathroom is upstairs (which gives me a work out several times a day)

3. The rent is cheep 

4. It has a wash line out side

5. It has a big yard

6. It has a rhubarb plant so I can have rhubarb to my hearts content!

7. No carpet! 

8. It's close to our friends

Ok it may sound a little cheesy but it helps (some days) to think about these things that make life a little easier and morebearable. I guess God has a reason for having us here longer than we want to be. I choose to believe that he is holding us and has a better plan than we have.

A huge thanks to my husband for buying me a new camera! More picture posts to come!

Blessings!
