Life is teaching me a lot about expectations in the year of 2015. I am learning I am a bit of the expectation queen, even when I don't realize I am! I thought I was pretty low key about most things, but as it turns out, I have these lovely latent expectations and they sure are getting challenged.
Oh you think you are getting settled do you? Move to Virginia expectantly.
Oh you think you will have a holiday that looks just like what your head thinks it should look like? Move to Virginia during the holidays.
Oh, you think the house hunt will be easy? You have old pipes and a way too old roof!
Oh you love your job? Time to find a new one!
All kidding aside, what a learning lesson the last few months have been on grace and just going with the flow! That being said, we have done something I never expected: we now own a fake tree. With the thought of moving and celebrating Christmas, I wasn't sure if we'd be getting a tree at all, so against my common sense judgement I jumped at the chance to buy this fake tree from Target and get it assembled in our house for the last few days of our tenancy. We will transplant it from this living room to the one in Virginia. It may be the only piece of "furniture" we have in that new house for a few days. But, it will be beautiful and blessed. And we will truly FAKE it till we make it.
So there you have it, this is how we will trim the tree and our house in the last few days we have in Charleston, grace-filled.
