Packing or Blogging?

I haven't blogged in a few days with our packing, so decided to take a little break.  This past week has been a crazy, busy packing week!   We've been busy packing away, at times it really feels like we have not made a dent... probably because everything is still sitting in our apartment.   Samuel and I have had fun in between packing... he truly is such a joy and makes me smile and laugh all the time!  He's been my fun "breather" break, we've taken lots of cute pictures this week.... no crawling yet!

Matt and I have done many movie nights to "take breaks" haha!    As much as I do not like to pack, I do love to get RID of things... feels so good!!  I've thrown away so much and we have 9 or 10 goodwill bags to go of our clothes and some other things! 


 These two pictures on the left are from today... he found a new teething toy.  It's the top on a container of gas drops, the top is squishy so he can bight on it and suck on it!


                    

  

This week has been such an emotional week for me!  Really though, when am I not emotional?!  I'm going to miss our sweet cozy apartment that Matt and I have made into our home!   The other day we were looking around and Matt said, Carla our decorations and apartment is nice!  I said babe, thanks to you!!!  Haha because one day, Matt asked in the sweetest most innocent way if we could use our gift cards from our wedding (this was a year and half later) to buy some things for the apartment! haha, poor guy!  I mean now that I think about it, we have not had even curtains for the LONGEST time!  So we did, it was the funnest day because it was like a shopping spree!  So he is the reason it looks cute I always tell him!   I'm growing in this area: decorating, etc, and thinking about these things.  Guess I just didn't pay attention to it or realize how empty our apartment was until he said something!

We also noticed that EVERYTHING in our living room and in our rooms was given to us!  Amazing how the Lord provides!  Everything except the black book shelf Matt built and Samuel's crib we bought... even sweet Samuel's crib was a gift from many good friends!  And this was Samuel's first home with such a cozy room!  Everywhere I look, I picture him when he was just new born!  The places he'd hang out at  :)

The Lord has provided in amazing and numerous ways...I will MOST definitely miss our home!
