Birthdays....

Birthdays are always interesting, not because of anything in particular, just interesting. In years past, we have spent many birthdays (and celebrations of birthdays) at one of our favorite places, Disneyland. It is always a fun place to celebrate and we get to celebrate our anniversary there too. Last year, because we didn't know how much longer we would be in SoCal, we let our passes expire. It was really kind of a sad day.

Now, we are permanent SoCal residents, but because of the baby on the way it doesn't make much sense to renew our passes yet. (So not worth it if I can't ride all of the fun rides).

So needless to say, this year our birthdays were not spent at the happiest place on earth. Instead we have spent the majority of our time and effort looking for a house to buy. This has been a very exhausting and sometimes discouraging road. But we keep trudging along...through all of the places that you have to drag yourself through before the right house comes along.

And last night, after seeing two terrible properties, Chris and I could not go to sleep because we were laughing too hard about nothing in particular. I am grateful that through everything we still are able to laugh at crazy things, knowing that in the end, the Lord will provide the right house at the right time and everything will work out in the best possible way for us.

And I have to hope that the right time will be before this little girl has her birthday.
