Big things are always happening around here. It never stops, and I guess I should just get used to it!
The most recent development in the life of Christine and Joaquim's married future is the near acquirement of an apartment in Arlington Heights. Here is the kicker: it is the VERY apartment, unit and all, where my parents spent their first year of marriage. It's really nice, hardwood floors, new kitchen and bathroom, ceiling fan in the bedroom, great price, and it's a month-to-month lease which is really ideal for us. We were not a fan of being bound to a whole year or two when we are only bound to God's will for us! It will be great. Our landlady is still looking into my credit and my rent paying history, which is fair, so she hasn't given us the total green light yet, but...come on. It's coming.
Now that we know where we are going to live, I am just a distracted pile of daydreaming. I can picture where we will come home after our fabulous honeymoon to Hawaii, and I imagine making coffee in our kitchen, and experimenting with our Brazilian/American dinner extravaganzas. Joaquim will explore Arlington Heights while I'm at work, and we live about a mile from downtown so it's an ok walk on a nice September day. Hopefully by the time the weather gets worse, he will have some more direction on how God wants to use him here.
I'm so grateful for the blessing of that apartment, and more importantly for the man with whom I will make a life there!
