Westminster Confessions

When I first arrived back home after my 6 week sojourn to Maine and NJ, I must admit I was less than enthusiastic about our new little (still mostly packed) apartment. I allowed self-pity to crowd out the blessings that God had given me. But, now (I am happy to say) I have begun to embrace the goodness of God in all the wonderful details of our (mostly unpacked) apartment and am truly feeling at home and blessed.

So, for the record, these are some of the little things that I LOVE about my new home:

• Not one, but TWO windows in my bedroom so I can hear the wind and rain at night (which I love) and be greeted with sunshine in the morning.
• No garbage day! Mark will never forget when to take the garbage out because we can take it out any day we want!
• A laundry in the basement of our building. Not every building has a laundry, so I don’t have to haul dirty clothes to another basement. AND I can get ALL my laundry for the week done in a little over an hour! WOW!
• Living on a second floor means that when I look out the window I see the leaves of trees.
• Our mailman is ever so faithful to pick up any mail we leave for him!
• If Mark ever locks himself out of the apartment he can get a spare key from the manager!
• Unlimited hot water. This is pure bliss. We can both take the longest, hottest showers we could ever want (back to back even!) at the same time we are doing laundry AND the dishes (well, not showering at the same time that we do the dishes, but you get the idea).
• Chipmunks.
• A stone bridge to walk over every morning (what a romantic way to go to school).
• Utilities included in the rent (no worries about heating bills!)
• Wood floors.
• Gas cooking stove (I really missed this when we lived in VA).
• The ability to have DSL.
• And, most of all, someone special to share it all with.
