A Weird but Wonderful Week

Weird...recovering from the driving and packing and moving.

Wonderful...being together with not having to say good-bye at the airport again.

Weird...waiting to see if our traumatized bunny would bounce back after the long drive.

Wonderful...finally having the rabbit eat and drink and act normal.

Weird...celebrating Christmas in an odd house.

Wonderful...having new friends invite us over on Christmas afternoon.

Weird...having everything you own packed away in a box, and stacked in the garage.

Wonderful...having the hope of getting into a new house within a month.

Weird...no way to make any food (only paper plates).

Wonderful...no pressure of cooking a fancy meal for Christmas.

Weird...feeling like this isn't home yet and everything seems new.

Wonderful...Chuck has been here for 8 months and he can lead the way.

As usual, I am trying to focus on the positive. I can't find my cord to upload pictures so it may be awhile before I can post pics. But I wanted to continue to stay in touch. I have been thinking a lot about how Christmas can be both a wonderful time and a difficult time for people. And though it hasn't been difficult, it has been kind of weird around here. It is a season of waiting, and trusting, and being patient, learning to be flexible, and trying to adjust graciously.
