Rearranging Things

In an attempt to pretend like we have more space we've been rearranging furniture (and we aren't done yet). As mentioned before, Happy is ginormous. He's growing out of his mini-pack'n'play much faster than anticipated. Our had always assumed he could be in that bed until around seven months just like Demand had done. We assumed we'd have a new house by then. So our deliema was that Happy is too young to share a room with Demand and our room is too crowded to have the crib in there (like we did with Demand).

After praying for a week that Happy finds a room God finally provided me with an answer. He's always more creative than me so I find his answers fascinating. What is the answer, you ask? Well Mr. Sloth is finally furnishing his office after a year of living out of paper bags. So I realized if he takes the buffet from the dining room we can move my armoire desk down from the bedroom giving us room for a crib in our room. How did I not think of this before? I've always wanted my desk downstairs anyway and he was thinking about taking the buffet for months. Plus, he was going to to get one of the same bookshelves that we have in the playroom. I realized that if he got the bigger version of the shelf that could go in our playroom and he could take smaller version of the shelves from the playroom. He doesn't need that much storage at the office anyway. This would actually give us even more storage in the playroom.


So while I only asked God for Happy to have a room His answer gave us 1. a safe place for Happy to sleep 2. me an actual functioning office. 3. Mr. Sloth more storage and 4. more storage for the playroom (which we desperately needed)

Pretty cool, huh? Sometimes God gives us what we want and need.

So I guess we can squeeze a few more months out of this place afterall. We're trying really hard to be patient about buying a new house and just waiting for God's cue. Looks like fall might be a better time to buy anyway so we'll just make the summer work and concentrate on saving for a possible move in the fall. Speaking of which I believe we'll be canceling cable at the end of the month. It's going to hurt, but it IS summertime and we'll save a lot of money over the next few months. Besides, I need a break from TLC. I need to stop watching people live their lives and maybe live one myself. Maybe mine will be more exciting...
