Due to many requests, I have decided to take a writing breather and give our Colorado following an update =). First of all, Chris and I want you all to know that WE MISS YOU!!! We miss dinner fun with friends, rock band, beer, laughs, hide & seek . . . =(. But our move to Boston has shown to be just the thing we needed to move forward as God has called us to. We have moved into my parents' house here - a 100+ year old country colonial in the Northern suburbs of Boston. With my mom's massage career taking off and my dad busy with new church commitments though, the house itself had become cluttered and in need of some TLC. That is where Chris and I come in.
We have been working our way through piles and boxes and bins of clutter, helping my parents simplify their home and helping them find skilled help to make their home renovation dreams a reality. Finding a good carpenter, mason, roofer, etc, was very time consuming! In the end, the Lord brought the people we chose to us and that was clear. All believers (rare in this area) and one father-son team (Chris and Chris) have hired my Chris to help with the roofing & siding since he is not working. Pretty cool we think! This project has been hard & overwhelming at times, but incredibly fun for me overall. I quite like organizing & categorizing and have loved the challenge of marrying aesthetics & functionality into this space. Chris and I couldn't have more enthusiastic and appreciative "clients" in my parents, so that makes it fun too!
Aside from some basketball playing, hiking, biking and rollerblading - this home project is pretty much all we have done for the last three weeks. In that time Chris has also applied to probably 20 jobs and interviewed at one. We are trusting in the Lord's timing and trying to enjoy our bonus time together in the meantime. It helps a lot to have the house to work on because Chris and I feel like we are going to "work" together everyday - a dream of ours anyway =). Thanks to all who have been thinking of us, praying for us, and even calling us on occasion. We love you and miss you, but thank you for your support and we have followed God's leading to this next adventure!
