I feel like we're always in similar seasons at the same time--these seasons of unsettled chaos. I'm adding you to my daily prayers, friend. And I'm here if ever you need to vent. You can text me your complaints any time because I GET IT. Also, your kid is just too darn cute.

That really is a lot. I can't quite ...Goodness. That really is a lot. I can't quite wrap my head around where you are and how you got there, I just know it must have been a mammoth effort! Especially largely by yourself AND with a new baby. I understand why you didn't complain about it, but you'd have been well within your rights to (if you ask me). <br /><br />I totally get where you're coming from with the stuff thing. I only lived with my sister for a month without my own stuff and I nearly lost the plot. Like... actually. And I love my sister dearly. But not having my own space or my own things was really hard! I got surprisingly excited over the smallest things when our stuff arrived from the UK. I'm so glad you've been reunited with your things now, I hope you and they have a lovely relaxing time together for a nice long time. Oh and Scott too.<br /><br />So if it's not too nosy a question, I'm intrigued about your house logistics. Are you going back to Wyoming one day, and that's why you're keeping the house? Or another reason? As someone perennially on the cusp of entering the property market, I'm interested in how other people make their decisions. If it's too intrusive please ignore :) Oh and everything crossed for a quick sale in Colorado! Who wouldn't want that kitchen sink?!Rachel ¦¦ A Nesting Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457683109401016555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-13516321764615520192019-02-07T20:50:55.243-06:002019-02-07T20:50:55.243-06:00Good job surviving.

I have had to deal with that at many and sundry times both while growing up and since we started moving around (and 4.5 years later I still miss my bed and my couch and my coffee table and my dishes and my kitchen in America...it kind of helps but also doesn't help that they are all still in the family, so I can visit my furniture and my former rooms, but I can never have them back again)...but not while also caring for a newborn, which would add an insane level of complexity to the already "homeless" feeling. I've found that my reaction to getting frustrated with having to leave things I really, really liked behind...has been to buy as little as possible anymore. When we were newlywed I was so excited to set up my home the way I liked it and have things that I liked....but It's just annoying to have stuff you really like and not get to keep it, which is why I'm now "minimalist" and try not to own unnecessary things. Probably not the best coping mechanism, but hey, it saves money? I should probably try to "settle in" more, but we have no guarantee of being able to live here long-term, so...I don't settle in.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-82093515037545869672019-02-07T20:00:42.560-06:002019-02-07T20:00:42.560-06:00Like someone mentioned already, I, too, am exhaust...Like someone mentioned already, I, too, am exhausted reading this.
