There are no words to explain how good it feels to be working on fixing up my new apartment! I'm so excited and every hour that passes makes the whole apartment look better. A little paint here and there does wonders.
My whole body aches, even my toes... don't ask me how I managed to do that but it's worth it. Today is going to be an even busier day because I'm getting furniture delivered and I'm breaking down the build-in closet and building a new wall. I have my work cut out for me but I know that next week this house will be transformed into a little palace. The excitment makes me feel so much better! I sleep a lot but I also do a lot. My head doesn't stop thinking about new ideas, that's how I woke up with the idea of putting wallpaper on the inside of my baby girls door instead of having a white door in a green room (no it's not Kermit green. I'm working with different colors and it's going to be beautiful!!). For the first time in my life (except for the one time i got to choose pink wallpaper with hearts when I was 8) I have the opportunity to do what I want in my house. I can make my daughters room epic. I chose the floors that I wanted. I chose what I wanted. I've always settled and the apartment I've been living in for the last three years wasn't worth fixing up because I knew I wanted to move away from here eventually. And look at my life now. I found a apartment that's big enough for the both of us. We have a huge backyard that I can do with whatever I want. I even have my own driveway... all I need now is my license 😂 I'm slowly getting to where I want to be. I'm slowly accepting my life as it is. It was a weird moment when I found out I could get this new place. I remember sitting on my balcony and I prayed for God to help me. I asked him to either help me find a place that I could make my home or help me accept that this is our home so I could fix it up and make it look and feel like home. That's when I started to accept this place and I even started looking for paint. Not even a week after I went to look for paint I got the news that this apartment was coming back on the market. I called and I was first in line to get it. I had just rearranged all my furniture in the living room and I had bought a painting and two new chairs. A new dining table... The more I allow God to take control and the more I follow his lead I can see my life changing for the better. I had my vacation planned in June and I have a weekend away planned with my girl in August and all of the sudden I need to move in July. 😱 I felt so overwhelmed because I didn't know how I was going to do it (to be honest, I still don't know how I'll ever finish all that I have to do within A WEEK!!?!?!! But I'm not worried anymore. It'll be fine. I'm doing as much as I can every day and that's all I can do. I still feel the same as a few weeks ago but now I just don't have the time to stress about stress. Right now I have enough to deal with... making my new house look and feel like home.
