Back in Illinois

So I am home. Well I am not at my home. I am technically homeless for a while. I will be staying at my mom's, my dad's and maybe I can get my sister to let me stay for a while. :) She is the closest. I can't believe it is finally here. Sean will be in Lansing until our lease is up on May 31st. Then we will hopefully have found a place in the city. He will commute to Lansing for his last couple of classes. I do worry that it may take a toll on him, but he is strong and if he thinks he can do I believe in him.
The last few months have taught me so much about the two of us. I never doubted him, but now I have more faith than ever in Sean. I know God put him in my life to help me grow, and I have.
We spent the day looking at apartments and found 2 we love!!! One is a 10 minute walk to work for me, and is nice, but fairly plain. The other I would have to drive or take a bus. It would only be like a 10 minute drive, but this place is awesome it is huge and so cute. It feels very homey. So we don't know what to do. Any suggestions are welcome.
Tomorrow is out second anniversary. We have no plans yet. How terrible is that. I was trying to get Cubs tickets, but they are hard to come by. I am not giving up yet. :)
That is all I know for now. I still need to write about my trip to California. I had a blast.
OK Bye

Almost there

So we are almost ready to move. I will be leaving Lansing on Friday never to return as a resident. I can't wait. We still aren't sure what Sean will be doing, but we will figure it out soon enough. We spent the weekend painting, cleaning and starting to take the house apart. We have also spent a lot of time on line looking at apartments. We are looking at the Portage Park, or Old Irving Park neighborhoods of Chicago. I can't wait. It will be a huge change, but we need it.

Work is winding down for me. I will be sad to leave, but my new jobs seems like it will be great. I have some funny pictures of Sean & I painting, but I don't know how to put them in the message yet. I am still learning.

OK well that is all I can think of for now.

Wish me luck on packing this week.

Oh I think I got it with the picture thing. Let's hope this works.

Life Happens

So today I am home in IL. It is a good thing and a bad thing. Sean and I are together, but we didn't plan for things to go this way, but life happens. We will be fine and get through this. I have prayed a lot about this and know that with the strong silent support from the people around us we will be fine.
I am excited to go and look at apartments tonight. We aren't sure yet if Sean will be in Lansing or back home for his next tern, but we want to see what is out there. We have found a lot on line. I never thought living in Chicago would be cheaper than the burbs. Oh well I am happy to be wrong in this case. We found one we both really like. There are a total of 6 we want to see. Sean and I are going tonight and then he and my dad will go tomorrow to look at some. I can't wait. There is one right across the street from my new job. That is amazing. I will NEVER have to drive to work. God is really looking out for me. :)

I also want to say that if anyone feels left out about my blogging I am sorry, but this is about my life and Sean's life. The main purpose is to keep people informed about what is going on with us because we aren't the best at keeping in touch with family and friends. This is also my way of reminding myself that even if our life is crazy right now God is still with us and is helping us along the way. I have become much closer to God in the last few months and I want to share all the good He is doing in my life. I am also using this blog as kind of a gratitude journal. I want to focus on the good things that are happening. If I wasn't using that format there are sever bad things I can share, but wants to hear about that. Even this week alone Sean and I have had a share of faith tests, but I am not looking at that I am looking at that greatness of God and what he does for me and my husband. So again I am sorry if anyone feels left out. That was never my intention. I want our families and friends to share in our joy!!!

Thank you all for being part of our joy.
Keep your fingers crossed we find some good places to live. :)
