i was going to write bought a place but it came out bought a home. so many places in my life have been just that - a place. it's where i sleep at night. i think this is going to be different. it is so bright and homey.
for as much as i was so very excited to buy it, it all came together amazingly fast and unexpected, when i got into bed saturday night i got very sad.
a small, literally falling apart, dumpy house in costa rica has been my home for 15 of the past 17 months. obviously it wasn't the house that made it home but the family. my suitcase was my closet/dresser which was zipped up immediately so as to keep out the huge freaking spiders. for a couple of months i had been feeling that when i finally left cr at the end of december it would be the last time i would ever be there. now having bought a home here the financial reality of it hit home and the thought of never seeing "my family" again brought me to tears. but as ever thanks to God for His supernatural peace i am as excited as ever again.
