It's Official.

It's been more than a year since Ed and I got married in my brother's backyard. November 29 will mark our one year anniversary of getting married in the Catholic church. Since then, I have quit my job, moved to a different country, got pregnant and had a baby and got my permanent resident card. About a month ago, Ed and I bought the house that we are living in from his parents. Today, they moved out. So that means the house is ours.

Now we are left with a big house to fill up. Man, does an empty house REALLY look empty. They left some furniture but we still have a lot of filling up to do. We want to do some renovations and buy new furniture. We'll probably do a lot painting too. I am really excited to fix up Isaac's new room, the kitchen and our own bedroom. We have a list of things to do and we still need to prioritize the items.

Although it is a good thing for us to have our own space, I still feel that guilt that we have taken over our parents' home. Ed's parents have been pretty eager to move into the smaller house that they have since Melissa (Ed's sister) and her husband moved out. We were there this evening and the house is pretty much set up. It only took them 4 days to do it. They were on the go since Thursday. Ed's mom said that she was excited because they were returning back to the home they originally started in. It's like they have come full circle. I thought that was kind of neat.

It's crazy, I never thought that at this point in my life I would actually have the things that I do. It really makes me feel blessed. So God, even though I may not talk to you all the time, I really have a lot to be thankful for.
