Our "Moment"

Last Sunday we were at church for an event. Afterwards we headed out to the parking lot to leave and I noticed there was some paint scraped off on the back right side of our car. It looked like someone had side swiped the back end. Upon further inspection we noticed that there was a rubber part on the back end, near the tire, that was completely ripped from where it was supposed to be attached as well. We were poking and prodding  and pondering when this could have happened and how it would be that I wouldn’t have noticed it before now. Then I moved to the back bumper and noticed some more scratches and even some bolt marks. I was completely clueless and confused. It was about that time that John, after trying to unlock the car unsuccessfully a few times and looking at the license plate, came to the realization that this was in fact, NOT our car.

I’m not sure which I felt more of, relief or embarrassment. I think I’ll go with relief, since there was no one else in the parking lot. Thank goodness! As we walked a few cars over to OUR car we just both had to laugh at ourselves. We are a pair, that’s for sure!

Spring is Coming

Life is always a little crazy...hence the title of our blog. This past few months I feel like our decision to buy or not to buy (a condo) has been consuming our thoughts and actions. Soon it will come to a culmination.

Winter is ending and with it decisions will be made. Life will turn a corner and head in a new direction. I am sitting here this morning listening to the birds singing. Birds singing, a beautiful sound I haven't heard in a while, a reminder of fresh starts and change. A reminder that the cloudiness will give way to sunshine. A reminder that change can be a wonderful thing.

I am so looking forward to spring! I want to hear the birds sing again. I hate when my alarm wakes me up, but if the birds singing wakes me up, it's somehow much more soothing. I look forward to the changes that are to come. Bring it on Spring! I am ready for you!
