So we moved into our other lake house, which is the same one that we
have been staying in the past few years. It is so nice and I feel like I am in a super nice house, when really it is still an older house with wall paper you want to tare off or do something with..... anything. Not to speak of the beautiful wooden bars that are decor from the 70's yuk.. and light fixtures you think of bowling every time you look at them. Compared to the house we were in it is stunning. One thing that has changed is that there are very nice beds in the bedrooms now, which is so nice for when we have guest and they don't have to sleep on the floor. I am still in awe of this place and the beautiful view of the lake. Every morning I wake up and look out and my emotions rise, because we are so blessed to be here and the beauty is stunning - absolutely stunning.
I am tired of moving though and as much as we like adventure and change, it is starting to get annoying and I do look forward to a time when we can actually put things away and buy a filing cabinet (something I have been wanting for a long time). I went to the new Walmart yesterday, and I was really wanting to buy things, simple things like towels and table cloths, but I can't because we move too much and so therefore we never buy anything that is not really needed. I really do want to be able to buy decor or comfort things and call a place a home for us. Mika's dresser is a suit case, our dressers are duffel bags. I think after seven years of marriage I am ready to have a home, which might be sooner then I think. Magnus has had three interviews this week and one has called him back for a second interview, and I am sure the others will too. He is in one right now as I write this and he will probably have to make a decision in 48 hours if he wants the job. So what I am saying is that we will probably know what our future will look like in the next week. So much to pray about and think about. Oregon? Kelowna? or elsewhere? We the situation in the States (economically) I am scared about moving there, but what happens in the States does affect Canada too.
I am more and more inclined to move to Oregon simply because there is family and I will have more freedom with somethings with my mom able to watch Mika. I can work, I can have a gym membership etc.. simple things that I can not do now when Magnus is at school from 7:30am until 9:30pm and then stays up until 12:00am to study. My freedom is very limited and I don't really like that. I want to be able to go out to things in the evenings or even work a bit more. I also think that in Oregon we will have more family time (the three of us) then we would here. It is a lot more slack in Oregon and when it comes down to it I don't care about money I care about family. Our time on this earth is way too short to worry about finances. I know magnus can make more money here down the road, but I would rather have him in the evenings and weekends then make a couple more bucks.
So we will see what the outcome is, and we will keep you posted.....
