Big Talk

This cowgirl doesn't have the blues! more about that later....

Last night Nathy came home and we had a big, lovely catch up. It started with me actually taking the effort to say 'How was your day, sweetie?' Before launching into the details of my own. We had the nicest time and really enjoyed eachothers company. We have to do this more often!
Normally, we are so busy with routine that we either do a quick run down over tea or skip it all together and just launch into our own things for the evening or sometimes watch a pic together.

So in our talk we came to the conclusion that we are not ready to move yet! We both feel there are some things that need working on here at home, in our finances, our community and ourselves before we launch ourselves down the line. We both feel a little disappointed, but also have that peaceful feeling when you know God is saying, 'Wait.'
The strong theme I feel in myself is Closure and Contentment

Closure, as in unfinished business and friendships that I want to develop further before leaving

and

Contentment as in learning the art of happiness where ever I am at in life.
Philippians 4:12 (NIV) I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

So we are going to make the best of our little house for now, get on top of our tax and find some closure here first. I am kind of happy to at least not be in limbo and am a little excited and inspired to beautify my house a bit. Had lost interest for awhile there thinking we would be moving soon.

So the plan is to move probably in about 12 months! Which means I can enjoy this place a little more.

Top 5 reasons its great having a small house
1. Its easy to clean
2. Its cheaper and easier to decorate; less space = less ornaments and furniture needed
3. Its forces you to be organised and use the space wisely
4. Its cozy and homely
5. Its easy and cheap to warm and cool it!

So as for the whole cowgirl thing, maybe not, but I do have the hat for it. I have to say I am glad to be in the valley a little longer! I went for a drive today and ended up at the local oval where I just walked and breathed and prayed amongst the mountains and hot summer air. It was glorious! I am more than happy to get the chance to enjoy it for just a little longer!
