So Much To Say

This week has been quite full and exciting and exhausting!

I landed at 1am Wednesday morning in Singapore and carted myself home all by my lonesome. My hubby was working in Germany. It was the last night I would spend in our house and I was so tired it didn't bother me that I was alone. When I got in the house, a teeny, tiny gecko greeted me in the kitchen. I saw this as a sign of a new beginning. I will miss those lizzies though.

At 8am, the movers arrived. I spent the day with 5 Singaporian men who worked so hard. Our house has 4 bedrooms and 3 flights of stairs so one can only imagine the calories they burned. I also got the keys to our new apartment and instantly fell in love when I saw it. It has a beautiful view of the city, stays cool all day long and feels safe and secure. For one whose husband travels constantly, this is so important.

Now, the real fun began yesterday at 2pm when all the boxes arrived and it was time to unpack. Again, the same 5 men were working like crazy. There was paper and cardboard flying everywhere. They barely let me carry anything and were so amazingly helpful. It's nice to be around people who do their job well and are cheerful and fun at the same time.

The movers left this afternoon and the "putting away" portion of the move has commenced. I've decided to stage an intervention for my husband because I am beginning to believe he is a clothes-a-holic. Was it neccessary to bring 35 sweaters to a tropical island? How about 6 heavy coats? I have one small closet and the man's clothes have now taken up every other closet in the house. God bless me with patience as I attempt to find homes for these things he never wears. Good thing he is good looking and fun to be with.

Although I have been on the go constantly this week and seriously jetlagged, I have been thinking constantly of how happy I feel. I am happy to be with my husband, happy about our new home, thrilled at the thought of what the future holds and enormously blessed by my family and friends. I know this happiness will not last forever and so I am cherishing it. I wish I could bottle it and open it during the rough patches. Since that can't happen, all I can do is enjoy it and wish this for others.

OK, enough sappy happiness. It's time for me to get back to work!
