is one is always having new discoveries." - A.A. Milne
This quote was imprinted onto a t-shirt for me by my aunt cindy way back in high school. She knew me well then, and knew that it would be a quote that would following me for the rest of my life.
It is still highly applicable today! One of my practical goals this first year of marriage is to organize our surroundings - calming down the years of study, moving, courtship, and general chaos that has characterized our early-to-mid twenties, into a coherent and functional system, which will hopefully characterize our late twenties and early years of married life. With gusto, enthusiasm, a bit of whining and a tremendous amount of help from my family, we have organization in all rooms! Our office files are the last, and hardest, to tackle, and today we took it on.
Rainy and dreary, it was a perfect cleaning-the-house day. Additionally we have guests coming next week, which adds that little extra bit of urgency to the situation. I'm proud to report that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel - papers are being gone through, containers are being utilized, and the piles are going down-down-down. We were able to find a 4-drawer plastic container bin for my crafts, which frees up some space in the closet and allows tools for creativity to be more accessible. I like that alot.
That said, the one book we need for home fellowship group tomorrow we can't find. We searched high and low, cleaning up the living room, kitchen, bedroom, and more parts of the office, flipping through every pile, every bag, and every memory we have of the last place we saw this small, green, 80's looking Bible study.
It appears it will have to be a surprising discovery we find later. And, good news, our home fellowship group is very forgiving, so all should be right in the end.
