Oh what a week it has been. It is hard to believe that just a week and 3 days ago we were in California completely unaware of the stressful week that was approaching. Since my last post I have reached a place of optimism and peace. I am no longer struggling with moving away from our neighborhood. Though it is still hard I have become excited to see more of Portland. So, I know that many of our readers have been up to date on how the apartment search has been going, but for those of you who don't know here's a little update:
On friday Wes saw an ad on Craigslist for an amazing place. It is basically 100%-Katie-Wes-perfect. It is everything we need/love + more. We inquired about the ad and waited with butterflies in our tummies through the weekend. Finally yesterday afternoon we got word that we could stop by the open house to see the place. Because Wes was at work I went alone. All I can say is it's as perfect as the pictures lead on but the competition is high. All we can do is hope and pray. Most importantly though, my prayer is that Wes and I would find rest and peace in whatever God's plan may be. Whether we get this place or not I pray that we remember and trust that God knows our needs better than we do. If this place isn't meant to be, it just isn't meant to be. Though we hope it really is meant to be. Meanwhile- the knot in my stomach has grown bigger than ever and I am listening to The Weepies to try and calm my frantic nerves. Every time my phone rings I pray that it brings good news. Nothing so far but as always, we will keep you posted.
Hoping that my next post brings good things-
Katie
